Sound- Music Artist




Amanda Kaletsky is a non signed artist with the song 'Say you believe' We used this song for our trailer 'Piece of cake' as it symbolises love and romance. As our trailer is a slow, moving motion of two young adults in love and blossoms through our trailer from heart ache of her boyfriend betraying her to making a cake together a sign of companionship. This song went really well with the trailer.

When looking for a soundtrack for our trailer we wanted it to have the following qualities:

  • A female singer
  • To be in the pop genre
  • To have some relation to love and relationships
  • For the artist to be unsigned
  • To have a 'chick flick' feel to it
  • To tell a story
  • To make the audience emotionally connected to the characters 


These are some of the songs we considered using for the soundtrack for our trailer:

Jessica Teves - Hiding My Heart

Jessica Teves - Hiding My Heart
Lucyliz - Dear John
Lucyliz
The websites we used to find these unsigned artists were Soundcloud and Unsigned.com

Changes to our characters

We made changes to the characters as our first male character Jack Gordon made it difficult to appear on the camera as he was busy with other stuff occupied with his subjects and we couldn't make time to act on his role, so then we went for Plan B. We got Ciaran Pinnel who did tremendiously well to act in his role.

Filming our trailer

We had booked the cooking room before hand, for filming. This meant the room looked as authentic as possible, the room was full of ovens, sinks, fridges for our film. we brought in some of our own props as well from cup cake cases,bowels, spoons and an cake that we had bought so it would look professional . We did come across some problems from finding actors to act as there was a lot f exams going on at the time and people didn't have the time. some of the charters description changed slightly as we had to use actors that were free to film.
