Evaluation of Thunderstruck

Thunderstruck 

After remaking an existing trailer we can finally understand how much effort, time and hard work is put into it. We didn't really plan this as we went into it just trying to recreate what we had previously seen in the existing trailer. We knew the characters we wanted to use as it is a basketball film and a member of our group plays basketball so we could use him and we asked another basketball player if he would mind playing.

What went well: 

We thought what we actually filmed on the day was a fair amount we had sorted our the type of shots we wanted and how we wanted them shot. We knew we needed some shot of each character performing well and the performing badly. We knew the location we were going to use and as it was only a remake one we decided to film in school to keep things simple and saved us hiring out the cameras and tripods.

Even better if: 

It would of been even better if we could of had extra characters and extras so we could of had people in the audience to make it look authentic. If we had a better location instead of the school gym, it could of made it look more professional. Maybe if we had drawn out a storyboard for the remake of the trailer, it could of made it easier to film and plan the shots we needed and how we needed to shoot them.

Make Up & Costume Design

Looking at the makeup and costumes of similar films we can see what factors our film needs to have for it to be effective. The makeup of the female character needs to be simple yet feminine.

This type of makeup id say is not appropriate for our film and this tries to indicate that the characters is very girlie as she has used a lot of pale pinks and her blonde hair makes her look quite innocent. We want our character to have a different side to her, she needs to be tough, independent and strong this makeup doesn't give that impression. 

The costume we want to remain pretty simple for the female character as she does like to bake cakes and doesn't dress up too much but then you see her towards the end of the film and she has transformed she is in a dress and her makeup and hair is done, which makes her character grow and you can see the difference from the cake baker and the real woman.
