Teaser 5 - 'Home Again'

Trailer:



Key Shots:

  • Frequent use of mid shots
  • mid shots using proxemics of actors such as the man behind 'Alice' and over the shoulder shots
  • long shot of lying on bench, cut in to mid shot
  • establishing shot of party scene, drone style
  • shot reverse shot
  • extreme close up of lips

Analysis:

this trailer has a balanced mix of narrative and genre, conveyed mainly through the diegetic dialogue but also through the brighter upbeat music that accompanies the shots. The colouration is bright with a lighter saturation, showing the clear rom com genre. This genre is also hinted at through the many intimate scenes such as the shot of the extreme close up of the lips in the final shot. This adds intimacy and mystery to who the lips belong to and also draws the audience in through curiosity, by providing a notion of mystery. The frequent use of different proxemics such as placing 'Alice' in front of the changing man, facing the screen adds comedy whilst the over the shoulder shots not only add comedy but they increase the intimacy, making the audience feel as though they are part of the scene. There are no key narrative points made and this is clearly displayed through the frequently irregular shot durations combined with the layered dialogue and non diegetic sound.

It is Not a Separate Condition With the publication, in May of 2013, of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual – 5, generally accepted as the authoritative description of mental health conditions, Asperger’s Syndrome no longer exists as a separate disorder. Its place has now been taken by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This means that officially there is no such thing as Asperger’s. The behaviors that were associated with Asperger’s Sy...

First Draft - Feedback

It is def looking better and you’ve taken on board you’re feedback so well done. Now let’s sort the sound. Still consider a more emotional re-record, and chop/layer the sound. As you’re using copyright free music, keep trawling and see if there’s anything else there.  From Miss Page, also consider whether you have a colour palette and how you can emphasise this. Especially if it is an art related trailer!
