Justifying Our Actions

Throughout our trailer we've made a number of choices and decisions that have had a big impact on the general outcome of the trailer as an entity. For instance, the entire Trailer has been shot with handheld camera, rather than with that of a stationary camera on a tripod. We chose to do this based upon the fact that we needed to challenge codes and conventions to an extent to create an original product. There have been occasions where we have considered that maybe the doing of the product in hand held camera maybe was a bit on the extreme side, however we have looked at in the sense that is in a documentary home video style, much like the TV series, Modern Family is.

In a similar aspect, you will notice on our trailer that their is a lack of dialogue that you can hear. The characters themselves are talking through the trailer, though we chose not to include the lines that they used primarily due to the filming technique that we used. For instance, to maintain a level of attention to the trailer, we have split the clips into bits. The problem with this technique however is that audio simply isn't distinguishable due to the rate in which the clips changed and advance.
