Creating A Radio Trailer
Trailers are exceptionally important in ensuring a films success, capturing the attention of audiences of cinema, television, the internet and radio.
Using the computer programme 'Garage Band' I contructed a Radio Trailer for our short film 'Camouflage'.
I believe it's successful as a simple yet effective hook for the target audience of young adults interested an experimental genre, but also widens the audience as presenting the film as teenage tries to fight the media with battling music and a short ambigious voice over that reveals:
"A timeless tale of her stragle and its sacrafices...

Our intentions for Camouflage's film poster was to showcase the themes of control and change. Therefore showing our niche audience that society can control everything including your identity. Also we wanted to be experimental with our film poster because of our genre (Artist Moving Image) being experimental in itself.

By researching film posters, it helped us to understand the main codes and conventions which we then applied to our own poster. Although the is very poster is vey simple our own poster will be experimental reflecting on the nature of a short film, which will then be targeted at a niche audience.

The layout I am going to be using to construct our film poster is:
The Grid Layout:
The Grid Layout is similar to a table layout in Web design. This is where you divide the ground into equal ly‐ sized rectangles or squares. These blocks and their tangent points represent areas where you want to place your elements. For example, a simple quadrant layout can help you to centre the point of interest and then you can add other elements that create a more asymmetrical layout
The poster to the left shows the two movie stars placed equidistant from the middle vertical line. They’re also both facing toward the centre line at about a 45 degree angle. This angle echoes the sky above the horizontal line and the bowling alley lanes below that horizontal line. All the darker elements – in this case a bowling alley – are placed below the horizontal line, and the lightest element in this poster – a white light – is placed behind John Goodman exactly on that horizontal halfway point.
The poster to the right displays the stars in a circle that symbolizes a golf course hole. They’re placed smack‐ dab in the middle of this poster, and other elements are placed almost equally both above and below the horizontal line. The only elements that deny this poster a symmetrical layout are the golf flag and the landscape that’s evident above the horizontal line. Another way to use the quadrants would be to place one or more elements within one or all four quadrants.
