Changes

Unfortunately the clips we had already filmed for our trailer wasn't as good as we expected. We also had trouble scheduling times for myself and my group to film as well as relying on people to help us film our film trailer.
But as a group our final decision was to re-film and create a new story line where we could include students from our Media class. Myself and my group also wanted to improve our coursework so that we could achieve the highest grade possible. As a group we discussed storyline ideas, costumes, props, setting, camera angles and characters.  This meant that we would   scrap our original idea and start from scratch. 
During our media lesson we then created our new story line. This trailer would be based on a young girl who had got bullied by her so call 'true friends' who bullied her for her race. We then see at the end of the trailer her grabbing the scissors. This then leaves the story on a cliff hanger leaving the audience to wonder if the young girl committed suicide.
I thought this idea was fairly basic which meant that we could include more interesting ideas. Myself and my group wanted to base our story line on a true story.  When watching back at last years coursework we lost marks on the wind so within my trailer I wanted to make sure that I filmed in suitable weather conditions.
The location that we decided to film was and this was a very quiet area which suited our specific genre. We also filmed within our school because our trailer was based around childhood.
When recording our trailer we decided to refilm a few clips a number of times so that we knew that our filming was at a high standard and that we could achieve the highest grade possible. Within our trailer we used casual clothes and natural makeup. I think that our trailer was filmed fairly well but I think when it came to editing we had struggled to put the clips together as their was many parts which we needed to cut because it was very jumpy. But after having the knowledge of last year it meant that we were able to think of more creative ideas.
