Evaluation
For this project I had to create a 'comedy drama'. I decided to make a trailer about two detectives who solve crimes and mysterious. I managed to get the comedy element by having a character who is socially awkward, comes across funny, but also really clever. I wanted Detective Inspector Pearlman to try and act like Detective Inspector Carter but fails really bad, this is where the comedy element comes in (falling over, tripping up, walking into things). The inspiration I got is from this is a BBC show 'Death in Paradise', where you have a male and female lead solving crimes together with that comedy aspect.
I created two versions of the trailer. The second one is all my work, with my own music played on the piano. The first one has the inclusion of the BBC watermark and other effects to make it look like its an official trailer from the BBC. Also an existing music track which is called 'Pompeii' by Bastille (instrumental version). Out of the two versions of the trailer I personally prefer the BBC One version, this is because I much prefer the way it looks with the added watermarks to make it more authentic.
I like the use of camera angles and good quality audio. The trailer was filmed on a DSLR camera and recorded with an audio recorder. We recorded the audio in-between filming and layered it over the top afterwards. We did this because we wanted good quality audio, as we recorded in a quiet room with no background noises. But by doing this it had to sound correct. For example if I was outside talking it would have more echo. So what I did was reverbed the audio to fit its surroundings and to make it sound more realistic. I also did some foley such as closing doors and running, which I would layer over the footage, just like I did with the dialogue. I particularly liked the opening and closing shots because of good lighting, strong focus and framing.

Problems I faced where the weather and the amount daylight. There were several days I wanted to film but was raining, also by the time I got back from college it would be too dark. I kept booking equipment out for roughly about three weeks. There's nothing really standing out that I would change, although editing the audio levels was a challenge, as audio would go loud then quiet. But I think I managed to fix this.
Overall I am very happy with the final outcomes and enjoyed making this fictional trailer come to life.
