we were instructed to make a film trailer using inspirational texts from similar trailers
Inspirational trailer
Rough outline of idea, our idea was to create a horror film trailer using found footage, we did this by shaking the camera and seeing the action as if you were looking through the persons eyes. This found footage technique has been used in various real horror films such as paranormal activity etc.
Our trailer
By constructing this trailer I have learnt lots of new things and understand more how film trailers are made and how they can be made to entice the audience to see the film. One thing I have learnt is how to use the computer program final cut express, by using this I could re-order the shots I filmed and add intertitles and sound to add more effect and create tension. Other skills I have developed include using a camera, I now understand how to use the camera in different ways to scare the audience such as using typical horror shots. I have also improved my acting skills as I was needed to portray the antagomist in the trailer.

Making a trailer
1. I think the USP of Battleship is it is a hybrid of genres that combines two popular genres such as sci-fi and action together, this will attract fans of both genres as they you can see by the trailer it seems like an interesting movie that satisfy the sci-fi and action fanatics.

My trailer highlights the strengths of the film that will appeal to more action fanatics than sci-fi fans as there is more action clips than alien clips but there is the an alien clip that I have put just before the film name to create shock among the audience.
