Term 2, Lesson 8

Today was the first lesson that Mr Andrews was away and I just need to keep researching what to do for my trailer and have a clear idea of what that will be by the end of the week. I have changed my mind from what I previously wanted to do which was the Hero's Journey but with a fairytale twist now I'm thinking of doing a woman trying to 'make it' in drag racing and her journey to get there. I've been doing some research on trailers of films about drag racing:

Fast & Furious 7 (2015):

First of all Furious 7 isn't about drag racing but is about driving and being on the run. Besides that I feel that it is easier to create a trailer like this than a fairytale, as in there is no magic or princesses even though especially in that trailer there was a lot of special effects that obviously I wouldn't be able to achieve. In this trailer the Hero's Journey was very clear and even outlined the particular characters.






Need for Speed (2014):

Its becoming clear that most films including racing or drag racing have an underlying message, or conflict that the driver my be reading for, this makes me realise that if I do this kind of trailer I need to come up with a reason for wanting to race. This trailer follows the Hero's Journey exactly. I enjoyed this trailer as it was fast and keeps me interested.







These trailers were enough for me to know that I am going to do a trailer based on a female drag racer, I will do further brainstorming to come up with the other aspects needed for my trailer.
