Audio
After editing our trailer I decided to create my own music which could be included. The programme which i had to use to create our own music was Garage Band. When using Garage Band their were a number of different sounds which you was able to combine together to create our own music for our film opening.
After watching romance films which related to our own. It then gave myself and my group many ideas of how to create our own music. During the lesson we agreed on making sure that the music related to our genre which was 'romance/comedy'. This meant that we needed more instrumental music.
When creating our music we had to make sure that it fit with our filming time. Before saving our final film opening we are going to add the music to our film. This is so we are able to play our trailer while hearing our music in the background.
After creating our own music for our film opening I got some reviews from my own family and friends. The feedback which i collected was;
Feedback:
'' Very creative music which fits in with the type of genre of your film''
'' I think the music will fit in very well with the romance trailer. I think an improvement that you could make is maybe making the music a bit longer so that it fits more in with the filming time''.
Below is a printscreen of the programme Garage Band. On the side of the screen it is showing the different vocals, instruments and fx. When we had decided which music clip we wanted to use we would drag it onto the timeline and combined it in with the music. The problems we had during creating our music was that we had alot of gaps so we needed to fill them in. We chose many different vocals, instruments and fx to meet our genre which was social realism. Our film starts off with a slow tempo and then it builds up during the climax. It then builds up to a really fast tempo which builds up throughout the whole of the media production. I think myself and my group completed the music successfully because we all had ideas of how to relate our music to the genre which is 'romance'. Overal our music lasts for 2 minutes which runs through the whole of the trailer.

Peer assessment on my own Blog
Peer Assessment of my blog
This task was all about assessing each other's blogs and giving back positive feedback and constructive criticism.
Kayleigh assessed my blog and gave me the following comments:
- For my research and planning, she said that it was Basic/Good, as not all of my research is complete and up to date yet as I still have to do some more research into trailers with a similar genre.
- For my research into similar products and potential target audience I got a Good.
- For my level of care and ICT in the presentation of research and planning I got a Good, as not all of my blog is text, I've added some relevant pictures and YouTube clips too.
Sharing on Social Networking websites
Once I completed my final trailer. I had uploaded it to social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube. I was then able to receive feedback from a large audience. This then gave me time to improve any conventions within my film trailer. I was also able to see what people liked within my film trailer. I was given good feedback from Lauren aged 18 " Very good film trailer. The story was clear. For improvements I think maybe you could of included bullying quotes. Which would then make your point more clearer about bullying." The other comment that we got from Elizabeth aged 13 "Excellent trailer. For improvements I think you should make sure that your filming is more steady. Maybe try using a tripod to make the shots more still.
Personally I think that the feedback did help as we are now able to improve our film trailer before the deadline. This will also help us as we will know exactly what our target audience are looking for.
Overall I feel happy with our film trailer but I think that with the feedback that we were given. I think we should try and make sure that these improvements are completed by the deadline. I think we should personally try and change some shots. So then myself and my group are able to achieve the highest grade possible.
About Time
About Time
Summary:
"At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Domhnall Gleeson) discovers he can travel in time... The night after another unsatisfactory New Year party, Tim's father (Bill Nighy) tells his son that the men in his family have always had the ability to travel through time. Tim can't change history, but he can change what happens and has happened in his own life-so he decides to make his world a better place...by getting a girlfriend. Sadly, that turns out not to be as easy as you might think. Moving from the Cornwall coast to London to train as a lawyer, Tim finally meets the beautiful but insecure Mary (Rachel McAdams). They fall in love, then an unfortunate time-travel incident means he's never met her at all. So they meet for the first time again-and again-but finally, after a lot of cunning time-traveling, he wins her heart. Tim then uses his power to create the perfect romantic proposal, to save his wedding from the worst best-man speeches, to save his best friend from professional disaster and to get his pregnant wife to the hospital in time for the birth of their daughter, despite a nasty traffic jam outside Abbey Road. But as his unusual life progresses, Tim finds out that his unique gift can't save him from the sorrows and ups and downs that affect all families, everywhere. There are great limits to what time travel can achieve, and it can be dangerous too. "
Personally I think this trailer we could mostly relate to. This is because our trailer involves going back in time. Myself and my group would like to create a trailer using similar conventions. Such as the beginning of the trailer it includes big white text on a red background. The red represents romance. Also the audio is instrumental which I think would be best for our trailer. As the audience will automatically assume it is a romance due to the music. I think this trailer we will refer back to so we will be able to think of a number of different ideas.
