- when making the graphics slides which included the tagline to the film, i had previously planned to use a white background with a black font on top, however after doing so and watching the trailer, i realised that the black on white looked amateur and somewhat like a powerpoint presentation. therefore i used a black background, with a white font on top, which allowed the trailer to flow more as i could use a 'dip to black' effect and then the graphic slide would fit perfectly. as the trailer is now complete, i am very pleased i changed to this option.
- after drawing my storyboard for the trailer, i included a large variety of shots which after filming were not needed. therefore, the film trailer ended up being a little shorter than planned, however as it is only a teaser trailer, i wanted to leave the audience wanting more as do all teaser trailers. also, within the storyboard i had planned to include more 'dips to white' however after i changed the graphic slides (above) i realised that 'dips of black' were a better choice when creating the trailer.

overall, there were not many changes made when physically creating the teaser trailer and the magazine front cover, from what i had planned to do. in regards to the magazine front cover, there were no changes made from what i had planned to do, which was great and allowed me to focus more on the trailer itself. when creating the trailer, there were only two main things which i changed in comparison to the plan i'd made;
one way in which i have used a convention from a real media text is within the film teaser trailer. as the film 'Finders Keepers' which we created fell into the surrealist genre, i chose to analyse a teaser trailer of a film from the same genre; 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'. throughout the trailer there are many quick cuts, which make the trailer fast paced and mixed up, therefore drawing the audience in, making them want to see the film, which is essentially the aim of a teaser trailer. in addition, i added some graphics into the trailer, which were the tagline to the film, and finally the name of the film and the release date. as all other film teaser trailers have one, maybe two, songs which can be heard throughout, i chose a song which was also in the film, therefore linking the two together. also, the same font type was used through the poster, the magazine cover and the film, which again made all items related to 'Finders Keepers' together. on the whole, i kept to the main conventions which are involved when creating a film teaser trailer.

the teaser trailer for 'Finders Keepers' is now complete. through completing the trailer i have been able to improve my skills on Adobe Premiere Elements. in comparison to my previous work created on there last year, my skills have been greatly improved, and my teaser trailer is of a much higher standard. i have successfully learnt how to insert sound, graphics and images into the movie, and then edit it all together to create the complete thing.
