Additional things for our trailer

After today's lesson we felt that we had done a lot to improve our trailer. In the lesson me and Mimoza discussed the pieces of sound we would want to include and we came to the decision that we will not include the sound of the children laughing or the car crash noise in the end as this ,we think, would not really go with our trailer like we imagined it to. After asking our teacher for feedback twice we changed quite a bit for the better and we think our trailer has  improved since last lesson, although, we know that we still need to do quite a bit more. The first time we received feedback after showing our trailer to him very briefly we changed the font of our titles as they were quite plain, even though, they did not need to be extravagant. We also ended up cutting part of the argument scene as it wasn't needed and was just adding time to our trailer which we did not want and were already trying to lower. Previously, we had put on pieces of voice overs over the tiles in our trailer and we noticed that it didn't flow or go to well in for certain titles in our trailer so we had to delete it as, for example, the title 'Based on a true story' comes up straight away as the music piece ends and then the voice over would come into it and this did not flow so consequently we had to delete it.

Yesterday we added the characters names to our trailer so today we decided to add the characters names in more different points in our trailer and add a last name to the characters names, for example, 'Stella Henderson'. After watching the trailer though as we showed our teacher we realised that the very beginning of our trailer ( the children's scene) didn't seem to much like a trailer but more like an opening sequence, so we decided to add another music piece just after the production logo gets of the screen. We also thought of including a quote from Shakespeare about love just before the children's scene comes on to make that scene flow better. Looking at the production logo itself, we thought that it was missing something so we decided to look at some trailers that we had put as influences already on the blog and look at their production logos.

We also thought of possibly using the sound of a light switch turning on then use this audio. Here is the link for this sound: http://www.soundjay.com/switch-sounds-1.html

 The second time we received feedback we had made the necessary changes pointed out by our teacher and the changes we thought we needed to make. After our teacher had watched our trailer he thought it was good but we could possibly add another piece of melodious sound onto the scene where Stella and Alex are arguing but lower this sound so that we can actually hear the dialogue as well .We looked at a couple pieces of acoustic music and here are the links:

When a music piece finishes in our trailer you can hear when and where we have cut it and this doesn't sound good, so with help in tomorrows lesson we want to fade out the music so you cant tell that we are cutting it but it fades into the background with the next scene.
