Location Scouting

We are aiming to create a very rural feel to our film trailer, so the locations we use are extremely important. To gain some research I went out and had a look around my local area and found a footpath separating two fields. The open and vast view that can be seen from the path could work extremely well for our film.

My Black Swan Poster

I was inspired by the four 'art deco' style posters I found and created this simple, minimilistic poster on Pixlr. 

Black Swan Poster Research

This is the poster for Black Swan that was used most frequently in the build up to its release. I think that it is effective as it is clear about the ballet theme of the film, but the red eyes make it clear that there is something quite sinister about the film.

However, I also stumbled across these posters for the film which really captured my attention. The 'art deco' style of them shows a complexity in the image, and requires the viewer to look deeper into the picture to discover the depths of it.

My Teaser: The Editing

I turned the saturation down to 47% on all clips so that the colour was more similar to that of the film itself.

I filtered the image with iMovie's 'Grain' filter to create older, more authentic looking footage, as this was the style of footage that was used in the opening of Black Swan, where she is dancing. 

I used GarageBand to create the sound

I recorded myself humming the Black Swan Theme

I then turned up the reverb to 100

I considered enhancing the tuning but it sounded to modern and not authentic enough

Black Swan Teaser

This is my self made teaser trailer for 'Black Swan'. I filmed my friend dancing and then I found a black feather and took some shots with that as well. I then edited it together using iMovie.
