Social Factors within the trailer - Becca

The main part of our plot is to do with Sam Snow a fallen popular girl who has received very low grades and has to take on some extra credit classes. She also feels she has to change herself in order to do better at school. Instead of the classic geek trying to fit in with a popular girl gang, we've decided to go for a more original plot in which the popular girl is trying to fit in with the geek gang. The trailer also conveys the hardships of being a teenager such as bullying, trying to fit in, friendship groups and many more. Sam eventually manages to fit in after a humiliating maths competition in which she knows no answers ,and is dressed in the latest trends. The geeks find the clothes and lack of answers hilarious and begin to mock her. Soon after the Geeks manage to transform her, by tutoring her and giving her a make over, they learn to accept her and she is welcomed into the group.

Industry - Jordene

We are a British independant company. Though being a Hollywood major would of given us more funding and opportunity, we wanted our film to be authentic! Our film had a lot of influence from St. Trinians as it was a heavily focused female cast and the UK film council and Ealing Studios effected the production of this film therefore it shows a film similar to ours can be a success with a British Indepedant company.

Photo's from Makeover scene - Becca

These are photo's from the make over scene in our trailer, which will change from pictures of the make over into a short film footage of the makeover.

Further complications - Jordene

Unfortunately we have had another set back.
Though some of our footage has recorded, the majority has not. This means we are going to need to get our cast back together to re film which may prove difficult as we all have busy schedules.
Our plan is to film on the 29th, this way we will be able to edit it all together on the 30th and we should then have a completed trailer. We have already made a lot of progress with our front cover and poster though and these are close to being completed, therefore we have slightly less to worry about and the rest of our focus can be on getting the trailer exactly how we would like it.
We have also been trying out different music and considering what style we are looking for. We want very up beat music to create a light hearted feel to the trailer. We are thinking of having edited sounds instead of clear guitars, pianos etc. as we feel this will attract our target audience.
We had found the song we wanted to use parts of in our trailer yet we did not get hold of the producer to get the rights to use it therefore our trailer will not have any lyrics in. Though we wanted lyrics, it will be easier to have it without.

Issues with editing - Becca

Media files going offline - A big issue we have had so far is the files we have uploaded into are trailer becoming offline, this has meant we have had to re cut several files multiple times and re inserting them also. However from this technical difficulty it has given us more practice to cut down files, this has helped our knowledge of final cut pro.

Photos - within our trailer we wanted the same effect as some movies, where pictures turn into moving pictures as a transitional edit. However when gathering feedback and looking further this slows the entire pace of the trailer down.
