Hi -
I don't have anything clever or earth-shattering to say, I just wanted to record that the 1st rough cut of the trailer is DONE. I will be getting some feedback from a film-teaching friend this weekend, and then will revise.
I'm finding that I am clueless about soundtrack music. Honestly, I always thought I'd have someone else doing that for me, so I've never really paid a whole lot of attention to it. The trailer needs music, though, and I Do Not Know what sort of music it should have. I mean, I can cut a montage to music that already exists -- music video as trailer -- but this trailer has a lot of dialogue, so I... I'm just kind of.... clueless. Hmmmm....
So that's the biggest challenge.
I'm wondering if I should take some of the dialogue out and replace it with Cool Images. Do more "music video" within the trailer. I thought I'd get the tire swing in there, but I didna.
One of the questions I haven't answered -- and admittedly would do well to answer before revising, I reluctantly admit -- is: Who is the audience for this trailer? Is it potential editors, or is it potential audience, or potential funders, festival judges, Kickstarter donors....
Would the trailer be the same for potential editors as it would be for Kickstarter donors?
I was originally thinking that I was making it for Kickstarter, seeking to raise some funds to get a real editor or two (two because one might be a sound specialist). Does that mean I should try to make it look COOLER THAN IT REALLY IS????? Hmmm....
Hmmmm.....
I'd love your two cents on the matter. Whoever you are.
