Bleak Hill Lane

Trailer Ideas:
The most difficult ideas we had were firstly trying to get the flash back looking like an old memory, so we had to razor blade alot of the scenes to have the quick jump effect, we then had to edit the colour of the scenes to make them black and white. In the first edit of our finished trailer we felt that the change in colour to the flash back helped alot but it still didnt look old enough so we edited the contrast so it had a fuzzy distorted effect to the scene.

Our moment of disequalibrium had alot of cuts to it, so many infact that it seemed very fast and we realised that we had maybe made them too quick so we decided to slow each scene down by about 70-80 this deffiantly gave the section a slower pace but not too slow that it lost the effect of a quick, heart racing trailer.

The one scene with the teddy bear dropping took quite a few takes as we had to constantly film from different angles. When putting the trailer together, with that scene we choose the take with the teddy hitting the floor and slowed it down to atleast 50-60 this we felt pushed the idea that this teddy dropping has disturbed something and was the main idea in our film.

This is our first draft of our trailer that we created that was finished. We have edited some sections of the trailer to make them better.
We changed one of the tone cards, Took out a scene so the music flowed bettwe and added sound to the begining studio logos and then end of our credit block. We felt these small tweeks created a more professional and sophisticated film trailer.

Jaws Trailer 1975 and poster review





-The Key Image is a lady swimming naked with a huge shark coming from directly underneath her. The idea that this woman is naked enhances her vulnerability as she is not covered so she is very much exposed and the fact that she is a woman gives us the idea that she cannot protect herself and is in serious danger.
The size of the shark compared to her is huge and has been perhaps exaggerated to allow us to see that this creature is too big to fight off and this woman is totally helpless.
Also the "J" in the title is slightly hook shaped at the end relating to the plot of the film with them going out to catch this shark on a fishing boat.

-The title is at the top of the poster is capital bold letters which are also in red. This automatically allows us to connect the ideas of danger, and blood to this film.

-There isn’t a tagline for this film but there is a quote from someone which allows us to see that people recommend this film and the use of the word “terrifying” gives us the impression that in the time this film was made it was new and really scared people.

-The Actors names are listed under the key image in bold white font so they can be noticed.
- The credit block, Studio and distributors logos are again positioned at the bottom of the poster with the website.
