This is our second draft of our trailer. Since receiving feedback from the first draft we have made a series of changes:
- Extending the length of the film festival logos that are shown on top of the establishing shot of the school. - done to allow the audience more time to appreciate the 'films' accomplishments.
- We swapped around the faces in the fire at the end of the trailer, as it was pointed out to us that although for quite a while we envisioned the character Charlie to be the protagonist, the character who is presented in the trailer as having the most crucial role is actually Jack.
- The biggest change we made was Jack's speech which is made whilst the boys are in a pool room. Although we did not alter the narrative, we did experiment with various recording techniques and post production editing to ensure it sounded as if the character of Jack was in a medium sized room and not a small recording booth. This change made a huge difference as previously the quality of this speech and the authenticity of it was very poor.
- Finally, there were several smaller changes we made such as ensuring the edits were crisp, altering volume of speech vs music and adding a school crest to the writing to make it look smarter.
