What went well...

I managed to use the actual

soundtrack from the real trailer

and made my own shots fit.

The “A life of” titles that flick

through quickly match the beat of

the music well. So too does the

people speaking to one another

and the tigers roar.

The sound, voiceover and music

all add drama and emotion to the

piece. Without them the trailer

remake would not be effective as

it is the voiceover that explains

the story and music sets the

mood of the scene, such as the

dark music when the boat is in the

storm suggests it is in danger.

The “unbelievable” title that

appears on screen at 2:01 could

have appeared just a little later as

to work better with the timing of

the music. It is not very

noticeable, but still could have

been made better!

At 1:05 there appears to be a

jump in the score, this could have

been faded in gradually as to not

make it quite so abrupt.

Even better if...

You hear a man screaming “get

out” when he is not visible on

screen. This part of the score

could have been cut out as not

to confuse the audience. This

dialogue does not match what is

on screen.
