Week 7

This week we had started to do some shooting for the trailer, what we in charge of is to produce some Chinese trailers to attract some Chinese students and make the advertising video be diversified.

When we plan to do that I thought that will be a simple work, 10 to 20 seconds, in Chinese. We made several ideas to our group, and then we decided to start. However, when we start to get down to that, there are many troubles we face. At the first, we got many novel ideas. For instance, we plan to make a short story that a mystery man flies a paper plane which made with MIYFF poster, and in the other side, there are some students sitting on the grass and hit by the paper plane and they are interested to that film festival. During the shooting, we found it was difficult to shoot how the paper plane flying and it’s hard to control the direction because of the wind.

After the failure of the first time, we had a discussion and made a new plan, we decided to do two trailers, one is about 40 seconds and the other one is about 10 seconds, that will be a normal trailer that include some details about our film festival, and the other will be a mini trailer. After we finish the shooting and editing, and we discussed with our group mate, then I found I’m not really professional with editing, although when I choose this to get in charge I thought I would create an interesting work for my group, there are many things I can learn.

Over all, this week I finally finished the trailer, and I realized I need to get into the discussion with my group and talk more to get more idea.
