Specific Shot Inspiration


We really liked the way these two shots have used normal things and taken specific specially designed shots like slow motion explosions in Inception or the underwater shot in Twilight. 

Both are very influential to the work we intend to make as we would like to use more unusual shots to make sure that our piece is effective in our desired affect and also cinematically advanced.

Twilight

Initial Storyboard

Our initial storyboard is simple yet explains the main aim in which we would like to go down with the thriller and supernatural infusion. Although it is small and simple to begin with, it is important to us that we develop from this and use this to create the best trailer we can.

Trailer Deconstruction

We deconstructed teaser and theatrical trailers to understand the difference as well as the multiple features of different genre trailers. The lines '/ / ' refer to jumps the orange line to the overall pass of the trailer. The 'T' states the sections that create tension and finally the music notes is where the music peaks or creates an emotion within the audience.

The Notebook Trailer - Todorov Analysis

The Notebook Trailer - Todorov Analysis

The Notebook is a well -known film which is frequently acclaimed for its portrayal of a touching love story. We analysed this based on Todorov's 5 main stages:
  1. Equilibrium
  2. Disruption of equilibrium
  3. Recognition of equilibrium
  4. Repair of damage/issue
  5. New equilibrium

We chose to illustrate our analysis in a timeline, as it allowed us to visually represent the stages of Todorov's theory.
