Last year for my production, I created a music video to the song ‘Waiting for a Star to fall’ by Young Kato, it was about a couple, and the girl collapsed so she went into hospital, turns out she is pregnant. The genre of this music video was a romantic pop, indie video and I used Final Cut Pro to edit it. This year I am going to produce a Film trailer, in the genre of an action drama film. It is about a young teenage boy who has grown up in Croydon on council estates and he gets into trouble with the police for drinking taking drugs and fighting, once he gets out of prison he decides to go into the army to sort his life out. (My trailer is about a split narrative film, so this is when the audience get to realise that it has a split narrative.) The acceptance letter to the army comes through the front door, I will show the importance of this with a detail shot of the letter, in one ‘version’ his mum burns the acceptance letter and he never goes into the army and he grows up living a normal and boring life, hating his job and just miserable. In the other version, his mum gives him the acceptance letter, he joins the army and loves every minute of it, but is shot in action and dies. The point of this split narrative is to try and make the audience think which life was better, a short but happy and fulfilled life or a long and miserable one.
