Tallulah Duffy 1823
I worked with Laura Souter 1860 and Fia Brown 1802
Our brief option 2: My task was to make a promotion package for a new film. The major task was to include two trailers (one teaser) alongside an official social media page. My film its entitled: 'Tru 2 u' and explores the concept of young love, loss and failure through the perspective of a teen girl. I created the 'TRU2U' TikTok, and Laura and Fia created the Instagram and Twitter.
I took responsibility for the integrating our choice of music, costumes, lighting and an aspect of self-directing whilst acting.
I chose to integrate the song, 'The real me' by Alexis into our film. I felt that the lyrics resonated with the notion of our film;
I'm losin' all my sleep at night
Does he love me
Does he love me not
It's an adventure (an adventure)
Finding the real me (the real me)
I'm a reflection (a reflection)
Everything I see (the real me)
Above, the soundtrack to our trailer reflects our protagonist's anxiety surrounding whether her crush likes her back or not. As the movie progresses, the girl is able to build up her confidence and staying true to herself through exploring new hobbies and activities in order to boost her self-belief.
For our costumes, it was important that they reflect the current trends for what teen girls would wear in 2021/22. In order to create contrast, the 'nerdy' character type is dressed in stereotypical geeky glasses, conservative style clothing with long dark trousers and a matching blouse. Whereas, the new confident girl wears a pink heart shaped crop top matched with tight leggings and makeup in order to reflect her change in physical appearance and outlook.
In terms of lighting, I ensured that optimal brightness was used in order to ensure that each character is in view and presented clearly on screen. By subtly adjusting the lighting for our wide shots of the mansion, we created a bright and sunny spring time day on screen. Weather is important in film as it connotes different ideas. For instance, a rainy day connotes ideas of sadness and despair, whereas, a sunny day connotes ideas of happiness and new beginnings.
My creative critical reflection, poster task, trailer task and social media can be found in the tabs displayed above.
