Reflection:
A very enjoyable task that allowed me for creative freedom. Focusing on the drama behind Donald Trump and Marko Rubio, I decided to create a ‘fake trailer’ for a film that doesn’t exist. This was done for comedic purposes and to respond to the Reddit thread ‘Trumpcriticizestrump’. Using premier pro I used heavy editing in a style of YTP. I used both clips of Rubio and Trump to create a sense of interaction between the two although not real, it is made for the purposes of comedy. I also had a go at automatic motion tracking but it didn’t work very well therefore all the tracking in the video is manual, the voice in the video was created through Text to Speech.
Evaluation:
The video suggests its comedic structure through editing and the overused trailer music, originally from ‘Inception’. Also the video starts with in a world, another overused trailer gimmick. The use of text to speech proved useful as it represents the typical movie trailer narrator from the 90s, which tries to add to the comedy. The motion tracking could be done better but I feel like it adds to the comedic value by not being perfect. Use of slow motion to emphasise key moments add to the genre of the trailer.
