The video above shows the annotated version on my A2 Film Trailer, Welcome To Eden. In order to help viewers know who composed the annotations on the trailer, we came up with the idea of colour coding the annotations.
The Colour Key
IntertextualityThe Colour Key
- Harvey Gillett 1225 - RED
- Frederick Howe 1230 - BLUE
- Tamara Rudd 1258 - PINK
- Oliver Macnaughton 1243 - GREEN
If you wish to view my A2 Film Trailer without the annotations, simply go the the setting icons in the bottom right-hand corner and switch the annotations off.
I hope you enjoy my final product.
Many media texts use intertextuality in order to attract and address their audiences. In our case, we use a very familiar framework, that of the Adam & Eve myth in which the paradise of the Garden of Eden is lost when Eve is tempted by the serpent to disobey God.
Below I present a collage of our modern day interpretations of the three principle characters showing the connection between the Christian myth and our own modern day version.
Treatment: Topline & Big Question
From The University of Birmingham's: FutureLearn course, I learnt from Frank Ash, a creative consultant who has taught storytelling and creativity techniques to groups of people across the BBC and further companies. It is vital to focus on audience: what will interest the audience? How will the narrative develop?
Frank Ash advices film makers to nail down their ideas into two ways: produce a Topline and a Big Question.
We will aim to define in our treatment:
The Topline: a young couple, Evie and Adam, appear to be blissfully happy together but the girl starts to become dissatisfied with her lot in life as she is envious of the many possessions and holidays that her wealthier friend, Snakey boasts about. She pressures her boyfriend to rob a sports shop, started shoplifting and started to find it easy.
The Big Question: Will "Adam" turn himself in and will their relationship last?
My trailer needs to convey through visual codes the "Topline". It must also reveal some of the "Big Question" but not enough to spoil the enigma for the viewer.
Below is a mini trailer that I made uses resources and research on the Film Education website as a practice run for my own trailer
The Film Education website provided me with the ability to create my own mini trailer using a variety of clips from the A Good Day To Die Hard film, directed by John Moore. I was giving the option to choose and decide which clips I wanted to involve and which clips I didn't want. The Film Education website also provided me with two documents at the bottom of the page that have given me helpful advise and guidelines into making a legitimate trailer. This has proved to be a beneficial activity as it gives you the chance to experiment and also simply learn with the editing and decisions when creating a trailer.
