DIGITAL NEWS • Promo Trailer

-


Idea:

The idea for our trailer is to create a 1960's style advert, acting as if our news brand was a physical product. We didn't want to create a promo trailer that was too serious because that's not what Student Yak is like but we still wanted to make sure it gave a good idea of what our brand is about. 

Script:

As a group we first wrote the script because we already had an idea of what we wanted to say. In the process of writing, we got our presenter, Josh, to act out the lines as we went along to make sure that they worked and flowed naturally. Beside our dialogue we also wrote down a basic idea of what we wanted the presenter to do and what would be seen on screen. 



Filming:

  • We filming majority of our trailer in front of the green screen as we want to add in our own background. 
  • our idea was to have the trailer playing and the camera slowly moves backwards to reveal the trailer situated within an old fashioned tv screen so that it looks like it is being played on a real tv. 
  • We wanted to have the beginning part of trailer in black and white an then as we mention our brand, it changes to colour. 
  • We dressed our presenter up as a 1960's housewife to keep with our old fashioned theme.

Writing a Script

-

*A screenplay only tells us what we can see and hear*  Important things to consider are  Title page - which should contain the name of the story, the writers name, draft date and contact details which are important if you are handing out your script to people. Scene headings - the scene heading should state whether it is to take place inside or outside using INT. or EXT. It should also contain the location, e.g. BEDROOM, HOUSE and time of day - DAY/NIGHT Action -  The action under the scene heading should contain enough detail so that the reader can picture the location or action but concise enough that it is just a long paragraph of description, it should also be written in the present tense.  Characters - when introducing a new character, their name should be written in capital letters so that the reader knows they are a new characters. If the character is not in the scene but can be heart or are a voice over, then (V/O) or (O/S) should be used.  Dialog

Scott and Bailey - TV Drama

Scott and Bailey is a British crime drama focusing on the lives of two female detectives. DC Rachel Bailey and DC Janet Scott are not only work colleagues but close friends, a main part of the story is their relationship and the problems they have.  In each episode, there are 3 to 4 different story lines, the main one being based in the police station, centred on a crime and the others about the personal lives of the main characters. For my script, I would like to do something similar, I want to have the main story line revolve around a major case they have given, and then the personal lives of my two main characters, Shane and Annie.  The characters have many flaws that are pointed out in multiple episodes. For my character Shane, I want his flaws to be quite relatable. Through his dialogue and mannerisms, I want to reveal to the audience that he is wary of new people and finds it hard to trust them and that he is also emotionally immature and afraid of commitment b

I chose to be the director of photography (DOP) because I feel the over the course of the last two years my camera and lighting skills have increased greatly and I wanted to focus of those skills more in my final year. To fully immerse myself into being a DOP, it is important that I researched deeply into the role and what it would include. Being a Director of photography "includes creating the visual identity, or look of the film/ tv programme, they work with the Director, camera crew and lighting department to achieve this and they manage all aspects of filming, from ordering and overseeing equipment to reviewing footage." (Creative Skillset, 2017) My main tasks will include creating the overall look of Young & Famous and putting into play the vision of the director. I will be focussing the camera and lighting aspects of the role and make the technical decisions as well as some creative ones. Framing: for this, I will work closely with the dir
