An error...

After watching our finished trailer through, we realised that we had left some faint and unnecessary text underneath 'Katie Abbott', which we previously didn't notice because it is so hard to see. We are quite happy that this is the only error we found. If we were to improve our piece even more it would be to remove this.

Paranoia- edited 1

This is our re-edited piece of Paranoia, as we had some points to consider in order to make our trailer as effective as possible. Firstly we changed the title font and sizes, as it proved to be too short and undistinguishable for audiences to understand. Secondly we wanted to clearly establish who was the "popular girl and perfect boyfriend" as Mindy's voiceover states, so we added another shot of Riley and Reuben holding hands to show their relationship more to the audience. Lastly, we also added a surprise shot of Riley investigating an abandoned place, before being violently grabbed by somebody; this seemed like an effective enigma code as audiences would wonder if Riley survives, and would therefore want to watch more to find out what happens.

Final piece draft

Rough cuts 1

We used some of the shots in this series of rough cuts. However, we had to mix the sequences around because trailer's are not always in chronological order of when the sequences occur in the film. Also, we want to change the music (it needs to be extended), titles, production and distribution logos, as well as the voice-over.

Improvements

Once the final piece is uploaded we are going to undertake various ways of gaining audience feedback in order to improve our work even more. (see evaluation)

However, I looked at our pieces and our blog as a whole and pondered over some ways we could improve it even more.

Last minute edits

We are just trying to pull together the editing in order to make improvements according to the audience feedback. We have also decided to alter our soundtrack in order to fit with the pace of our jump cuts. Another improvement is to include rating cards and production/distribution logos.
