The first tech project of the year was to re make a movie trailer with a different soundtrack to change the mood.
Here is the original trailer:
Reflection:
When we first received this
assignment, I wanted to use a well-known movie and change it up. I thought any
Disney movie would work well as they are known for being family friendly and
cute. I don't watch many horror films, so I did a bit of research and found
that the clips were very quick and the clips cut each other off fairly quickly.
With that in mind, I searched for spooky clips that had an eerie feel to
them and mashed them together. I wanted to change the plot a little, so I made
Princess Jasmine look somewhat evil and have dual personalities, as I thought
it would add an interesting twist to the original trailer.
In terms of sound, I needed something
with a faster tempo and eerie rather than slow and creepy. I think the song I
found really worked with the clips, and the timing looked good to me as well. I
used the voices at the beginning because I thought they would set the tone for
the trailer and the movie, whereas in the original trailer the beginning was a
series of clips from past Disney movies.
I arranged the clips in an attempt to
show Jasmine’s evil side, but show a little of the other characters as well. One
thing I struggled with for this project was coming up with a story line to go
by. Usually a trailer will show the viewer a little of what the movie is about,
but in terms of this aspect, I had quite a bit of trouble.
I think the two trailers ended up being
very different from each other; the original is much more enchanting and cute, whereas
the modified version is much spookier and less family orientated. Overall, this
project was fairly simple and entertaining. It showed me just how much music
can impact visuals, and how they work together to create the mood of a piece.
