Project Title Romantic Trailer

Section 1: Rationale (approx. 100 words)
I have learnt this year how to create a podcast, short film and a music video.Through
this I have gained a variety of skills and knowledge while creating and studying media
such as production skills while producing a music video, independent skills while I
produced my own podcast and also gained knowledge in the analysis of different
podcasts before developing my own idea for my podcast. While making a short film, I
enjoyed learning the different types of cinematography and using different editing
software when creating my short film and this has also inspired me to create a film trailer
for My final major project.

Section 2: Project Concept (approx. 200 words)

By the end of the final major project, I want to create my own trailer for a film within the
romance genre. Firstly, I will start by researching what makes an effective film trailer and
making some notes. As part of my research I am going to create a questionnaire to
research what types of romantic trailers there are, what romantic films people like
watching and what target audience will expect from my trailer and I will then evaluate
the results including using screen grabs of each pie chart and a sentence underneath
each one. Some examples that I will ask in my questionnaire will be: How long do they
think a trailer should be?. Secondly, I will make a list of the Codes and Conventions of
existing film trailers. The codes and conventions are a list of rules to follow when
creating and producing my romantic trailer. For my romantic trailer, I want to show how
loved up a couple are, some of the things that I would show are: them having a picnic,
pushing each other on the swing and having a conversation in the car.
Section 3: Evaluation (approx. 50 words)
As part of my evaluation, I will use reflective diaries to evaluate and show the skills I
have developed during each task that I complete. I will also use this to reflect on how
well my trailer is going and what I can do to make improvements to my final trailer. I
have also created a plan to outline when I want my work to be completed by. As part of
my evaluation, I will also look back at my starting aims to make sure my completed
trailer is how want it to be completed.
