Evaluation on Thunderstruck

Thunderstruck 

After remaking an existing trailer we can finally understand how much effort, time and hard work is put into it. We didn't really plan this as we went into it just trying to recreate what we had previously seen in the existing trailer. We knew the characters we wanted to use as it is a basketball film and a member of our group plays basketball so we could use him and we asked another basketball player if he would mind playing. 

What went well: 

We thought what we actually filmed on the day was a fair amount we had sorted our the type of shots we wanted and how we wanted them shot. We knew we needed some shot of each character performing well and the performing badly. We knew the location we were going to use and as it was only a remake one we decided to film in school to keep things simple and saved us hiring out the cameras and tripods.

Even better if: 

It would of been even better if we could of had extra characters and extras so we could of had people in the audience to make it look authentic. If we had a better location instead of the school gym, it could of made it look more professional. Maybe if we had drawn out a storyboard for the remake of the trailer, it could of made it easier to film and plan the shots we needed and how we needed to shoot them.

Today, it took a while finishing the in-depth analysis but here is the final outcome of my analysis of The Hangover 2. Thanks to the the useful website: Prezi which has helped massivily to present my work in another way which I was lacking on my blog recently. Now I can focus on the project first-hand, and improve on my work to get the best out of my ability and help my group on our current project we are working on.

Limitation on audience

The type of trailer we are making creates limitation on who will come and view it also. We don't just magically expect the public to want to see it we have to make that happen. Its restricted that males probably don't like cooking film that includes romance, so unless you go and see it with a loved one its unlikely that we will get a large amount of males viewing it. We know that males won't go and see a film with this category and it won't be to their likings because it's mainly attracted to females or couples that prefer watching cooking shows.

The fact that also our film is British, its hard for British films to make it into the box office as we dont have as good reputation compared to American films. We need to make our trailer appeal so a global audience and not just limit it to a british audience. Nevertheless, it can be produced straight to a DVD format as it can sell quicker than producing this film to a box office as the filming industry is a competitive market with good and better films being produced and coming out are high standards compared to a cooking film. But never doubt anything can happen!

Look at Think Like A Man film it produced $60.9million and it's the same genre as our film romance and comedy. Friends With Benefits grossing worldwide $149.5million. A remarkable achievement in the genre and this is the battle we have to face in romantic and comedy genre as it is well ahead and we need to make this work, but the fact is that we know it cannot achieve these high standards, as we don't have financial backing, we have to graft it out and use our own creative skills in making this film a good standard.
