Scene 1

The first scene in my trailer shows the audience pictures of the family. The reason for this is so the audience can gain an understanding of the family unit and the closeness between them which I feel will allow the audience to emphasise with the female character when they see her unable to cope with the loss of her husband.

This is a picture of the scene set up, the audience can see various pictures of the family together, the each individual picture emulates 'fun times' and a bond that all families have.

For this scene i used a variety of panning shots going across the pictures so the audience can see each individual picture clearly which I feel allows the audience to understand and 'get to know' the family.

I also used close up shots, tracking in and out whilst panning across the pictures. When editing this scene I decided to split the scene into five individual scenes and fade between each one, as I felt it will still keep the flow and momentum of the scene but by cross fading the individual scenes it allowed the whole scene to merge together over lapping one another.


#Add scene 1 to post.

Music

The music that I decide to use for my trailer needs to reflect the mood of the trailer and represent the feeling of losing someone close to you, and the pain that people go through when they lose somebody close to them (i.e. a parent, husband/wife) so the music that i choose must emulate the feelings of Amelia since Jack's death.

Below is a list of the potential music that I will be using in my trailer:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
'Wherever You Will Go' by Boyce Avenue. The opening lyrics "So lately, been wondering. Who will be there to take my place. When I'm gone you'll need love. To light the shadows on your face" these lyrics represent Jon's hopes for Karen that she will find happiness and love in somebody else to ensure that she is not alone. "And maybe, I'll find out. A way to make it back someday. To watch you, to guide you. Through the darkest of your days" these lyrics represent how Jon will always be there for Karen despite the fact that he is no longer alive. 


'Here Without You' by Boyce Avenue. This song represents the emotions of both Jon and Karen describing the feelings that they have for one another and being apart from one another. "I'm here without you baby. But you're still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby. And I dream about you all the time" These lyrics represent the feelings that Jon and Karen have one another, showing that Karen's love is still strong for Jon despite it being 10 years since his death. 


'Iris' by Boyce Avenue. This song was the first song that I thought of when trying to find a song for my trailer, the lyrics resinate the feelings that people have when someone close to them dies "And I'd give up forever to touch you. 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be. And I don't want to go home right now" These lyrics represent the loss that a person feels when they lose somebody close to them. So it would work well with my trailer.
