Meeting 3 (27/10/11)

Our third meeting’s agenda was to discuss our current movie trailer and what needs to be changed in order to improve it. All team members were present at the meeting; this includes Jordan Kelman, Aisling Byrne, Thomas O’Brien and Bethany Griffin.


To begin this meeting, we discussed the good and bad points about the movie trailer, posters and magazines. It was important for us all to get feedback together so we can decide as a group what needed to be done to improve our final media portfolio.


Jordan reiterated the point that our first published media trailer did not relate to our film and it was important that this was changed. As a group we discussed what could be done to the trailer to ensure that the plot is clearly outlined within it. I explained that it would be a good idea to take a look at the John Tucker Must Die film trailer (published below) so we can see how a romantic comedy film trailer lays out its plot to their audience.





As a group we compiled a list of the most important conventions of a romantic comedy trailer that needed to be included, the list is as follows :


+ A fun, girly song that relates to the movie
+ Bright colours that attract the female audience
+ A voice over and a minimal script
+ A collage/montage of short clips to quickly explain the plot 
+ A clear lead female and male character
+ Contains transitions and clips that have a text overlay


By writing this, it can now become a checklist which can be used when filming commences for our final trailer.
