Theorists- Maslow

Today we looked at Maslow in class and his hierarchy of needs.

This is a diagram made by Maslow, that shows his thoughts on personal needs and what makes people happy.

I feel that my main character Emma has everything on the triangle exceot for sexual intimacy, so according to Maslow she has no self esteem, which i do not necessarily agree with. But was still interesting to study!

Music from other Film Trailers

Listing to this i notice that there is not alot of music in the trailer BUT there are many sound effects, i want to find a trailer with music throghout. Then i can compare the sound :)

I like this trailer because of how it had music all the way through, i think it makes it more interesting. I think the musci adds real atmosphere to the advertisment. Which is what i think mine needs to have. I want there to be different moods in my track though to show the up and down moods of my character.

Music

This is a song that i am consiodering for my final piece, i like the clasical elemnt of it.
Now i want to have a look at music on other romantic comedies. So i can get a feel for what sort of music other trailers use.

Shot Ideas- Star wars

Just amusing myself really, was thinking when Emma realises she has no man something like this? hahahaha x

Characters!

Today i want to have a look at the different characters in my trailer, first of all we have:
Emma- Emma is the "bridezilla" character! She has a very good job, very good friends, but isn't close to her family after she moved to a small village near London where she lives in a large modern house. She has alot of designer clothes, and tries to make herself happy by planning her wedding to someone she doesnt even have!

Jess- The lady at the bridal shop! She loves Emma because she spends alot of money in her shop all the time. She is very arty, and we only ever see her in one scene, which is the opening scene when Emma walks into the shop.

Tash- Tash is the best friends who TRIES to be there for amy, but can kind of see why everyone thinks she is so mental!

Inspirations!

This is the trailer of the ugly truth!

It shows another helpless out of love, that makes a bet that her business rival can't make a man fall in love with her.
I like the snappyness of all the editing. And the amount of different mise-en-scene that has been encoperated into the trailer. x

Sean Fournier

The track broken stereo is copywrite, which is very unfourtunate because it did really fit with the theme of the wedding. But i have asked a friend who is a dj to mix me some music, so i will just see what he comes up with...

This week...

This week i need to;

• Complete my storyboard.
• Find out about copyright details on "broken stereo".
• Talk to the bridal shop about a date that would be good to start filming.
• Get a few more shot ideas together.
  

After looking at the MP3's i am looking into using broken stereo for my music, there are the lyrics:
Lyrics to Broken Stereo
Why do you look so glum?
Are you breaking
behind the smile that I know you're faking?
It is no surprise. I see it in your eyes.
And they just don't lie.

If your life was a broken stereo,
I'd be music to your ears
and your fears would be drowned in my audio.
You don't hear me though.
And I'd shed light on your worst-case scenario.
When you're crawling through the dark,
my spark would light the way back home.
You don't see me though.

And we could be so good.

Why do you look so glum?
Where you weeping
and letting go of dreams that you know you should be keeping?
'Cause once you let them go, they're gone. (So long)
But I can help you hold on.

If your life was a broken stereo,
I'd be music to your ears
and your fears would be drowned in my audio.
You don't hear me though.
And I'd shed light on your worst-case scenario.
When you're crawling through the dark,
my spark would light the way back home.
You don't see me though.

And we could be so good.

I'm in your vicinity, but you do not consider me.
Met you once or twice, but you probably don't remember me
'cause I go undiscovered. You confuse me for another.
I make faces in your faceless crowd.
And I've been screaming out loud.

If your life was a broken stereo,
I'd be music to your ears
and your fears would be drowned in my audio.
You don't hear me though.
And I'd shed light on your worst-case scenario.
When you're crawling through the dark,
my spark would light the way back home.
You don't see me though.

And we could be so good
