TEASER TRAILER- FINAL PRODUCT

This is our final piece 'GRACE'. 

We are ultimately proud of our final product identifying our key strengths especially in post- production with the use of sound layering; clip layering; tints and fades. Our favourite shot especially is the eye level extreme close up of our protagonist on the train, as this truly depicts her grief and follows the conventions of our genre (to see how our teaser follows conventions seek blog post on 'QUESTION- IN WHAT WAYS DOES YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT USE, DEVELOP OR CHALLENGE FORMS AND CONVENTIONS OF REAL LIFE MEDIA PRODUCTS?'

The most difficult aspect of our teaser trailer was most likely the shooting of the subliminal rape, since it was our decision to not have the male perpetrator included as a character (since we wanted to illustrate to our audience how most assailants are never brought to justice). Therefore, it proved difficult to make it appear as a rape with only the POV of the perpetrator. However, it appeared that the footage which we achieved seemed too distressing for our viewer when showcased for a period of time, so after audience feedback we scrupulously selected key moments within our footage and had these on screen for less than a second. We did succeed in achieving our intended affect, whilst also sending our message and appeasing to the audience's preference. 

If we were to start this project again the weaknesses which we would focus on particularly would be our shots of symbolism. Even though they each have specific connotations with our narrative, some can appear unclear and random among our shots of our protagonist. To improve this, we would suggest having our protagonist integrated with the narrative: eating pomegranate seeds; laying below the falling feathers; within the bath of milk etc.
