Trailer
In this evaluation I have created these videos on Imovie and uploaded them onto youtube for the comparison of the three trailers compared to mine Yours, Always.
- This is the Lucky One trailer which I have analysed in comparison to my trailer Yours, Always.
- In this clip I have analysed what I have used throughout The Lucky One trailer compared to our own trailer, it shows that both of the trailers have used both a boy and a girl for the main characters to convey that this is a romance trailer through the connection of the two main characters.
- I have developed my trailer compared to The Lucky One, as in their trailer they have used a photo to describe the meeting of the two characters, whereas in my trailer the necklace is the main prop which brings them closer.
- I have challenged The Lucky One trailer by creating my own storyline instead of using the same one as this trailer to make it original. In The Lucky One the aggressive ex husband/dad of the child disapproves of Logan the main boy actor of acting like the father to his child whereas in my trailer the father of the daughter disapproves of their relationship. I have only challenged the storyline as in my trailer both actors bump into each other and in The Lucky One Logan deliberately goes out to find the girl he was looking for due to the photo he found.
- This is another trailer that I have researched the trailer I have made around, Love and Other Drugs as this fits in with the genre of romance.
- In the Love and Other Drugs trailer we have used some of the elements that are shown throughout. This includes the contemporary setting that is used, some of the clips are shown in a house which I have included in the video above, we have used this idea by including house scenes in our trailer, like when the girl is crying and looking through the window. Also there is a car scene in both trailers to create an impact which will make the audience feel emotion so I thought it would be a dramatic scene to include in our trailer.
- We have developed some of the conventions in the Love and Other Drugs trailer, both of the male actors in each trailer goes after the girl because they cant live without her, this is a typical romance scene in a trailer so we thought it would be a good idea to stick to it.
- I have also challenged the fact that the story-lines are completely different, as the Love and Other Drugs trailer includes unconventional scenes like sexual contact and drug talk whereas we have give our trailer more of a classical romance feel.
- This is the final trailer that we got our ideas for our trailer Yours, Always from, The Notebook which is a classical romance film.
- In the video above I have compared The Notebook and our trailer yours always. We have used some of the elements in this trailer, the main comparison is the montage of clips that is included in both of the trailers to show their love growing and how they met one another, we thought this would be the most effective way to show this after watching The Notebook trailer.
- I have developed this trailer to make it our own by the disapproving parents that you see in each trailer, in our trailer it is the father that disapproves whereas in The Notebook it is the mother, we did this because stereotypically it would be the girls father who disapproves and not the mother as they are seen as the 'protective figure'.
- We have challenged the setting of The Notebook trailer as theres is a rural american village setting which we can't use due to the fact we have no access to create a trailer in this type of setting, so to our advantage around the time we was filming the "Christmas German Markets' was on in Manchester so we used this opportunity to challenge The Notebook trailer to create something similar.
Poster
- I used the name tags which are at the top of the poster so the names are above each of the actors head so the audience can clearly see the names of the actors that they will be seeing, I have also used around the same font type so this is not the main focus of the poster.
- I have also used the same background setting for where the image has been taken, this is outside as it was a very easy setting for me to get and the actors to get to.
- The credits for the film are at the bottom of the poster and I thought this is where they look best, so I used this idea and put the credits at the bottom of my poster also.
- From the film poster that I looked at to base mine on I developed some of the conventions of this poster, the first one being that I changed the positioning on the characters, they are still looking into each others eyes to show that this is a romance film but they are sat down whereas on 'The Vow' they are stood up.
- I also developed the main text which is in the middle of the page by changing the font and putting the colour of the text the opposite way round to see which way stood out for me more clearly so the audience can see the text.
- I also developed the idea that the background of my poster isn't blurry like the poster on the left as I thought this would look better on the poster I created.
- Regards to this poster I challenged the fact that my poster doesn't have a tag line underneath the main title, I did this because I didn't think my poster needed one as it wouldn't look as professional as it does now.
- I also challenged the clothing that is worn by the actors on the left hand side poster, on their image the weather looked nice and bright but as you can see on the darkness of my image the weather wasn't as nice so they had to wear jackets and coats rather than vests. This was a more suitable look for my actors.
- I also challenged the colouring of the text which is a the top of the page to suit my magazine as they needed to both link together, this also matched the text which was at the bottom of the page.
Magazine
- In comparison to the magazine I based mine on, I have used the bold title which I saw to make the magazine stand out and look bold, so it will attract audiences as this was the case for most film magazines.
- I have also used the barcode which is placed on the right hand side of the magazine, I have made the size small so the barcode isn't noticeable.
- I have used the bottom right cover-line layout as I thought this looked effective.
- I have developed the top heading so it links in with the genre of my trailer and poster, the font isn't as big as my comparison magazine and I have made the text different colours.
- I have also developed the image as my genre is romance I have used the two main characters as the main image whereas in the other magazine there is 3 actors.
- I have challenged the main cover-line of the comparison magazine as they have put an effect on the text to make it glow whereas I have made my cover-line stand out by putting a low opacity text box around the text.
