I have been thinking about ideas for my trailer. I started by looking for a song or piece of music to have in the background. Ultimately I wanted to have an original song 'Ode to my Vest Top'. I really liked this idea and had a even thought of a few good lines to put in the song. Unfortunately this idea fell apart for the following reasons: 1: I can't play a musical instrument other than the recorder and don't know anyone that does. This would not be such an issue as I could put the lyrics to a song or piece of music that already exists if it weren't for point 2. 2: I can't sing and couldn't find anyone willing to do this for me. If I were making this movie for real, I would make an original song - 'Ode to my Vest Top' as this is not a possibility my search continued. The next idea I had lead me to You Tube. As it turns out, Bruce Willis sang a song called 'Respect Yourself' (Viva Las Channel, 2012, Respect Yourself - Bruce Willis, [video online] Available at: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SqFRYW0mrI>[Accessed 12 April 2014]). I thought it would be funny to use this song and incorporate clips from the original music video. I dismissed this idea when I looked at the lyrics, they were not in line with the theme of the movie. My thoughts shifted to focusing on the vest top. I located a few songs with a 'vest' theme which also were not appropriate until I found 'Life Vest' by The Material (thematerialmusic, 2013, The Material - Life Vest [official music video], [video online] Available at: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CRPnnSQCHE>[Accessed 12 April 2014]). I decided that this would be the music I would use for my Trailer.
When obtaining clips for my Trailer, I discovered that Bruce Willis had released more songs than I originally thought. I have now found his version of 'Love makes the World go round'(thesoulmanoldies, 2010, Bruce Willis Love makes the World go round [official music video], [video online] Available at: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQGea07guuc>[Accessed 22 April 2014]). As this is sang by Bruce Willis and it is a love song, I decided to use this song as it is perfect for my Rom Com theme.
As research, I have watched a few Bruce Willis films and have decided to use some clips from - The Fifth Element (The Fifth Element, 1997, [Film] Directed by Luc Besson.France: Patrice Ledoux). There are some scenes where he activates the elements at the end and I would like to try to put the vest top within the sparkling elements as I think this will create a cool effect for the trailer. There are also some scenes where he is wearing a vest top which should fit in perfectly.
My aim with this trailer is to create a funny romantic themed film with a few action scenes. I want to try to really sell the Rom Com theme and add in some text along the lines of 'One man and his vest top' to give an idea of the plot line without giving too much away. Text wise, I also want to show the names of the starring roles (Bruce WIllis and Mila Kunis) as well as some sort of 'Coming Soon' message advertising the films release.
The opening scene for the trailer will show the company logo, I am thinking this will also be a good place to add some brief plot text.
During my research, I located an animation of Bruce Willis dancing with a green screen background. Varun Karkhanis, 2013, Green Screen Bruce Willis Dancing Animation, [video online] Available at: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aYhH5K2LQ4>[Accessed 16 April 2014]
I was very pleased with this find as I have already located a few backgrounds that I could have this animation dancing in front of to give some good effects. After some consideration, I have decided to use the following backgrounds with this animation:
