Under The Same Sun

Our final trailer. 

Finally finished, We are very proud and excited to present to you Under the Same Sun.
Directed, Produced and Edited by Rahel Petros, Layan Akkad and Abigail Meakins. 

Enjoy.



Using type live

Typelive was really helpful when making titles, we were able to make our titles as complex as we wanted to with a really professional element, our titles ended up looking really great and they were definitely something we are all really proud of. Also on the audience feedback in the evaluation we had some positive comments on our titles.



Filming update 2 (day 2/3)

We were able to do a lot today some of the scenes we wanted to do really didn't work so we had to change them. Initially we wanted a shot of Lewis skateboarding but we couldn't get a hold of a skate board so we had to move on. On the other hand shooting the girls on the bike was a great success, although a tripod out of a car was risky (we were driving very slowly) it really paid off and we were able to get some really nice shots.

Todo list and what has been done so far.

Film update! 
Half way through filming we've decided to see how much we've done by looking at our story board. 
We're seeing what we've done. What we need to do. And what we want.

The purple is what has been done and so we do not need to worry about this now.
The blue is what we are currently unsure  as to whether  we need this footage, it is not necessary.
The yellow is what still has to be filmed and edited and it is necessary footage for the trailer.

Filming update (day 1)

The first day of filming went great, the lighting was not really on our side as the location was a long drive so unfortunately we couldn't get some shots that we wanted, however the shots that we did get are looking really good, and we managed to improvise with some locations like the supermarket! we are scheduled to film 2 more times and at the moment we seem to be on track!

Possible Song Choices



Lykke li- I know Places
We liked this song choice as it sets the mood and brings out the correct emotions we want the audience to feel.
It also gives away as much of the storyline as we want in the trailer which can make the audience want to see the film.



















Lecrea- Chase that intro
We like the pace of this music as it starts slow and peaceful but the pace starts to quicken adding tension and excitement which could make the audience want to know more. This links in well with the trailer as there is a lot of tension and anticipation.



















Jose gonzales- Heartbeats
We loved the mood this portrays and the peaceful feel it gives off to the audience.
However we feel it may be too mellow and is too optimistic, but we would like to perhaps use it in the trailer.
