Representation

How have i used representation within my trailer?

- I have used mise-en-scene to construct and relay different messages to the viewer.

For example the use of props such as a bat during the fight scene immediately signifies danger and destruction. The use of the pharmaceutical equipment, the wheelchair, the oxygen, the bandages etc... allows the viewer to interpret the main character's physical and mental state as unstable and shattered.

- I have used iconography of photographs to represent memories and flashbacks, to relay a loss. 

- I have used the care home as a location to symbolise a hospital. 

creating the age rating

I created my own film age rating to appear at the very beginning of the trailer, I did this by using the tools on Keynote. First i created a shape to fill with my colour (green) i then inserted a text box and inserted the text i wanted to appear, i made this text white and used the font Helvetica. Furthermore i used white lines to create the small table to appear under the text. Within this i inserted the rating ’15’, an image i took off google and then edited in photoshop. Also i edited the small mpaa logo and inserted it into the table. One i managed this i felt the text was too thin, therefore i made some of the text bold. Furthermore the text appeared to plain and so to make it more realistic or more alike the ratings that appear in real film trailers i adjusted the shadows on the text.

I used Audacity to exclude the background from the giggling and from the leave me alone dialogue.
