Improving Our Trailer

Our initial trailer did not work the way we had originally intended it to work, it had many classic conventions such lots of different scenes from the movie put together in a sequence, however it didn’t work as the sequence was suppose to make sense and flow, so that it was almost a short version of the film so you could understand what the story line was. Yet when our trailer was put together it did not achieve this as you couldn’t understand what the story line was. The name of the movie also contrasted with the whole concept of the film as the film was called ‘Petals Fury’ on the other hand there was hardly anything in the trailer that suggested ‘Fury’ in other words anger to the audience, even though there was a scene where we saw the main character Alan getting robbed by a couple of girls it didn’t really relate to the title as according to the title we should have actually put in a few scenes where we saw our main character get angry.

So we decided to improve upon our trailer by changing it so that our trailer was a sequence of a variety of Video Diaries created by our main character Alan, which would hint on what would happen in our film without giving out much detail. We thought that this would work better as it would achieve the intentions of a teaser trailer much better than our previous version. This way we also manage to create a sense of mystery as you don’t actually see anything from the actual movie this way it would create a direct connection with the audience leaving them to want more. This was inspired by the Toy Story 3 trailer which was one of the trailers we looked at after we realise that we had to improve on our previous trailer.
