Finished filming & Editing

For the last few weeks we have been focused on filming and editing. This time it was Me, Rachel & Alex who filmed as Hayley had done it previously. We filmed the parts where the boy was younger and clumsy. (This is where our comedy comes in.) When filming we wanted the parts to be quick and snappy as it would be in a trailer. We got him doing several clumsy things, these were: falling over in front of the girls,walking into a door and walking through a door getting his bag caught.
I filmed the part where he gets his bag hooked onto the handle. I took this shoot several times so when it comes to editing we can use the best one from the best camera angle. In a few I shot i knew my arm was shaking when filming, so by getting several shots we could use to one where my arm shakes least.

Once we had finished all our filming we went to upload it onto pinnacle. Then it was time for editing. As we shot the older years weeks before the younger years we had already edited it so this time we had to fit the clumsy parts inbetween what we already had. This was easy to do but after we had fitted it in the correct places we had to then cut it down so its short and snappy. Some parts we had difficulties doing as we wanted to see the actor looking around but had to cut it short as you catch a glimpse of him looking at the camera. This is something we didn't think of telling him not to do whilst filming.

Captions:
Just like many trailers we previewed they had captions in between shots which were either questions or quotes gripping the audience. This is what we decided to do in our trailer to break up the older and younger parts.
Our first quote is 'The years have gone by' This was positioned after the older part but just before the boys does his clumsy bits.This title works well as it shows the trailer is going into a different time of their age and suggests they havn't met in a long time.
The second quote is 'He loves her, She loves him not' This title works as it shows the romantic part of the film of which character loves who. This was positioned in the middle of our trailer when they are still young.
Lastly we had a caption saying 'What goes around comes around' This shows things have turned between the characters and now its her after him. This also suggests its a rom-com.

We wanted someone to do a voice over and say these caption like you get in most trailers. We found the perfect person to do it which has a voice over perfect voice.

Music:
At first we had trouble with what music we was going to use.We knew that we had to think of this early as it would take time getting permission to use the song. Our initial thought was to use to song 'Back to December' by Taylor Swift. We chose this song because some of the lyrics fit perfectly.

Lines such as:
 'Your guard is up and I know why' - Suggests she hurt him, let him down.

'You gave me roses and I left them there to die' - Shows how she was not interested in him.

'So this is me swallowing my pride' - Means she is sorry for what happened in the past.



We found out who Taylor Swift was signed to and then emailed them instantly so we could get a reply as soon as possible. However they never seemed to email us back which meaned we had to find someone else to do our song.
Rachel luckily knew a guy who does his own songs and we listened to some of him songs and found one we liked. She them asked him for permission to use him music and he thankfully said yes to us. Which means we had a song for our trailer.
