Shackled Final Draft

Shackled Final Draft 

This is our final draft of our media trailer called Shackled. It has gone through a long process of editing and adapting things to appeal to our target audience of our chosen genre, Action/Thriller.

We changed and adapted a lot of things on our trailer but, the main aspect Tinika and I developed was our text on screen. 

The name was one of the last aspects we changed due to the fact that we had a questionnaire where people were asked what name they preferred and Shackled came out on top. I am happy about this, due to the fact it links to our trailer more. 

Our first draft had no text on screen at all. This is something we seriously looked in to when changing our trailer. 

Tinika and I decided to study quite a few trailers including: Gone Girl, Inception and Die Hard. These were all Action/Thriller films which linked to our trailer. This enabled us to see where we were going wrong in terms of the template of our film trailer. As a result, we saw we needed to add more text in different parts of the trailer. This really changed our trailer for the better and helped us to create a film trailer! 

Moreover, the editing of each shot, adding effects, changing it to cuts or cross fades and creating cctv shots allowed us to make sure we really had developed a film trailer. 

Recently, we looked at feedback from our teacher and asked her how to improve our grade. She said that if we added foley sound and edit our protagonists eyes to make them red at the end. 

I took a lot of time doing this to make sure the eyes weren't too obvious but still had an effect. I also made sure I had the best high quality foley sound.
