How has my final trailer changed from my storyboard?

I removed the news report scene from my trailer not only because it didn’t look right in my film but because I thought it too long a take for a trailer. So that I could give the information from the report essential to my narrative but not bore the audience with a long take I have simply taken the audio which I will put over other clips.

Jack (the horse supposed to act for this shot) was misbehaving so I couldn’t get the shot that I needed. This shot acts as part of a reaction shot where my main character Alice has to scream. I then decided to use a shot of the wicked witch looking down into the camera so that the shot worked with the other shot still. I used a low angle shot as if it was from Alice’s perspective and it makes the witch appear more intimidating.

I removed these shots from my trailer. This is because the lightning and setting don’t work well with the rest of my trailer. My trailer was also too long so I had to remove some of the shots from it. This led to me making the decision to get rid of some of my least favourite shots.

As explained on an earlier blog post, the Hansel and Gretel shots could not be filmed due to problems with the actors. I have overcome this problem in my trailer by taking an extra shot on the Sunday of Alioce dropping bread on the floor.

Although I liked these shots in terms of editing I decided they didn’t match the overall look I trying to create for my trailer. With my trailer extending over the 2 and a half minute time allowed I decided to remove these series of shots as they were not as good as some of the others.

As for the same reasons as detailed on the previous page I decided to remove these shots through a selection process where I decided which ones were better than others. The shots displayed on the left were those which weren’t as good so I decided to remove them from my trailer.
