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.
