Transition from 'short film' to 'trailer'
As our filming developed and finally came to an end we started the editing process and as this progressed, we felt that the point and meaning of our film was not being put across in the right sort of way which therefore meant it would not have an impact on our audience. The films and scenes we have we did not feel flowed nicely and consecutively with one another and it is because of these reasons that we decided to change our ‘short film’ into a film trailer.
The storyline behind our film was that a girl who had joined a new school was bullied by four other girls but when we put our filming together this was not shown. After a lot of editing we did not have a sufficient amount of scenes that made our synopsis clear however no more scenes could be filmed as we had already exceeded the set limit of time which was 5 minutes. Due to this we thought it would be best to take the best scenes and clips we had already made and use them to create a film trailer rather than a short film.
Transition from 'trailer' back to 'short film'
When creating a trailer Dan and I felt that we had already placed enough hard work into producing a film that it seemed unfortunate if it were all for no use. Whilst cutting and editing clips we felt too much of what we had was going unused and although some of them were the best shots they still couldn't be featured in a trailer as they either didn't relate to the next clip or it caused the time limit to overrun.
We therefore came up with a second idea as to what to do with the footage we had already recorded. Using elements of a documentary we gathered all of our most significant clips and once again merged them together we then decided that we were going to do some further research into bullying and find some facts and statistics on the matter. With these facts we would create a short film that not only showed the viewer how bullying takes place in school but how it can take place anywhere and in many different forms across the world.
