We discussed those features that made it appealing to watch and how it engaged audiences through sound, spectacle, inter-titles, editing, focus on individual talent and so on. We thought about how, in our own forthcoming trailers, we could ...
- use distinctive 'talent' (actors) that we know, as main characters
- and in cameo roles (= even if it is for a brief clip) such as jostling them in passing on the street, as part of the mise-en-scène
- ask a friend who has a distinctive talent to perform a cameo role - cutting a deck of cards, playing the piano / guitar /singing, drawing, biking, football....
- make use of a distinctive prop as part of a cameo role - clothes, hat, make-up, car, bike, dog. Remember the distinctive costume in Killing Eve?
- plan framing our shots - through a window, doorway, bike wheel - the Tunnel at school, the school lift cage
- plan shooting the action using a reflective surface - grand piano in the Mansion Drawing Room, in a mirror, through a wine glass or bottle, bonnet /windscreen of a car like below, shop window
- use distinctive locations to create realism or spectacle
- VFX - media studio green-screen using footage that you take this summer at the seaside, in London, in a wood, in a high street, in a distinctive building
- drone camera footage as establishing shot (there are strict regulations about where shooting is permitted) or to develop the narrative like a chase sequence
