The brief we were asked to do was to create either a music video or a film trailer and we decided to do a film trailer for a ted swede as we thought it would be easy to do and as it was meant to look badly however it was hard to think of short different scenes.
This was our finished ted sweed and although it wasn't meant to look perfect there was a lot of things that I learnt from doing this. We should have planned it out more as there were scenes that we needed to change as we weren't able to do it such as ted playing football. We also left it late to film as well as on the hand in day we were still adding film clips we were doing that day.
Our editing wasn't as good as it could be because we didn't have a lot of time and still struggled to use imovie.
As finishing the video was very last minute we had to quickly decide some songs to put in the background as its a trailer. The songs we chose don't necessarily match what the trailer is about so we decided to have something upbeat, 'Calvin Harris - I feel so close to you'. We also used the introduction to 'Ne-yo - So sick' as the music is very soft and this is where he was saying that Ted had to leave. Another song that matched what was going on in the trailer is where Ted is on his own and we chose to have 'Celine Dion - All by myself' playing in the background
From doing this task we realised that it would be a lot harder to create a film trailer for a film that we would need to make up ourselves. But without getting ideas from other films it would be hard for us to make up without it looking like another film trailer.
This helped us to decide that we would rather make a music video as we would have lyrics to work with and this would then be easier for us to create a video around lyrics. We also evaluated other groups videos and saw that their music videos were a lot better than ours were.
