THE TAKING (2013)
We chose to swede the film 'The taking' we copied shot for shot 30 minutes of the trailer where two people are having some kind of issues in the woods. The trailer itself wasn't as fast as normal trailers however it used some very effective shots that we could recreate when filming our official trailer . The making of the swede allowed us to re familiarize ourselves with using editing software such as ' final cut pro'which will be a vital software to use when making our own trailer. We also got to experience of how to film a trailer and we learnt some rights and wrongs of filming and editing. Focusing on a slow moving trailer also gave us the challenge to match our shots to the soundtrack in the background, this gave us an insight on how important a soundtrack is to a trailer and how it needs to match the pace perfectly to be effective. As this was our first attempt at recreating a trailer it is not the best we could do, there could easily be a lot of improvements such as a better location and cleaner shots, however we decided to put it down as a practice in which allowed us to become motivated to successfully make a zombie trailer,.The following trailer is our recreation of 'The taking' (TB)
