My Movie Poster

Here is my movie poster for the movie "Follow The Method."

A Bourne Inspiration

After watching plenty more movie trailers, I had finalized the story for my trailer. It is going to be about a group of teenage kids that use their advanced skills to cause crimes. You can tell by the title of this blog post that I have the 2016 Jason Bourne movie trailer to thank for this. Watching this inspired me to make the movie seem a little more serious. It opened my eyes to bring in some scenes with some fast and dark shots to establish a moody and serious tone.

Trailer #2 Begins to Unfold

I'm not going to lie. I wouldn't exactly call it a burden to do research by watching multiple movie trailers. It is helping me find the difference between a trailer to purely attract the viewer and one to also add some background info and slight details to the characters shown. My second trailer will do just that. I will add some more dialogue between characters as well as a clear plot or at least the concept of the plot so that my viewer has an understanding of what is going on during the video. Names will soon come to me but I know that in one or both of my trailer I want to implement a scene where the main character is in a room where he is being asked questions or is just presented with a Rubix cube that is put on the table and as the interrogator looks or walks away. As he is looking away, we get a low angle of the main characters face and then a rack focus to the Rubix cube. He then takes the cube and proceeds to solve it in mere seconds. Of course, I will be implementing an effect to make it look like he solved it that fast, as I cannot solve as quick as that (my lowest time is 54 seconds which isn't that bad.) Anyway, maybe next week, I will be able to not only get a start on my Pre-Production category but who knows, I might get so good at solving the Rubix cube that I won't even need to use effects. Wishful thinking? I guess we'll find out.

It's about time!! Trailer #1 Idea Settled

After thinking about how my trailer will work out, I can now easily give an outline of it. I have decided to make a Sci-Fi/Thriller film trailer. It will be about a group of kids with "special" talents that are unknown to most people. One of the members will be in an interrogation room, which is where we will be presented with his talent. If you read my previous blog, you may know that I partially derived this idea from my Rubix cube. This is because not many people know how to solve a Rubix cube, and I think adding that into a scene will add creativity as I don't normally find Rubix cubes in movies.  I want my first trailer to be more of a promotional trailer to draw the viewer in and catch interest. I will do this by showing a lot of attractive shots and scenes as well as some interesting music. An example of this idea is during one of the "Now You See Me" trailers where they focused on the idea of a group of magicians robbing a bank. I can speak from experience that when I saw that trailer for the first time in the movie theater, I was ready to leave my movie and watch that one instead. I loved the concept, and they sold it with the trailer. I plan on doing the same with this one.
