I have decided to use this plan to decide the mes en scene,
lighting, sound and camera angles/shots for my trailer.
I have realized that the lighting in romance trailers is
very natural and pure. This is to signify their romance so I would want to film
on days that are very sunny and bright. The weather has a lot of connotation to
the romance genre so it would have to be hot and very refreshing outside. This
represents happiness and innocence of a relationship. The lighting would have
to be very dull and dark when the miserable moments are shown in the trailer. I
could use rain to represent how the persons are feeling and to show how ruined
they feel in the relationship. It can express feelings and emotions. I could
use dark nights to bring out the romance in the trailer by using the stars and
the moon for romantic codes and conventions. The moon is usually shown in
romantic genres because of the light it gives out. The moon is often mentioned
in romantic plays, ‘I am the sun and Juliet is the moon…’ The twinkling of the
stars can bring out a romantic atmosphere.
The sound I am going to use is diagetic and non diagetic.
The sound track of the trailer will be very smooth and will bring out a
comfortable, loving feeling towards the audience. I want to use unique sounds
to make my trailer have the same techniques as other romantic genre movies but
also have a different touch to it. Non diagetic sound will be used by the
narrator telling the story throughout the trailer; this will allow the audience
to have their own perspective whilst watching the trailer. Diagetic sound will
be used by the characters speaking throughout the trailers to show the audience
their roles in the trailer and give them a glimpse of their personality.
A wide range of camera angles will be used to give my
trailer different effects on the characters. This will show the status of each
character and will give the audience different views whilst watching it. For my
establishing shot, I will show the setting of where I am going to be filming to
give the audience an idea of where the trailer is being shot. It will be a wide
shot so that they can have a clear view of everything around. I want them to
see the landscape, weather and other objects surrounding that. This will let
them recognize the genre of romance straight away. I will use close up’s to
show the facial’s of each character and long shots to show what they are like
by showing the their posture and clothing. This gives the audience an opinion
on them. I will use a two shot to show the relationship between the characters
in the trailer as it is relevant because of the plot. High and low angles will
be used because I want the audience to know who has a high status and who has a
low status. By pointing the camera above a character it will show how
vulnerable and powerless they are. It if is pointing up at them it shows how
powerful and strong hearted they are. I will use extreme close up’s to make
objects seem important and to let the audience know they are.
The costume of each character will be different and will be
in a specific way to show the characters as the individuals they are. I am
going to use stereotypical clothing and colours to give the audience an
ideology of each character. The makeup will either be drastic or light
depending on how the characters are meant to be acting within the trailer. I will use facial expressions and body
language very carefully to show the good and bad of the characters and make it
clear to the audience so that they have a clear understanding.
