Foreign Streets Trailer (7.5.09)

Here is the finished version of the trailer I edited for Foreign Streets:

Foreign Streets Trailer



The main thing I wanted to do with my trailer was to catch the viewers interest without giving away too much about the story. I feel as though this was achieved because during a seminar when the lecturer asked one of the other students what they thought my film was about, they had a very vague answer, which wasn’t close to what the film is actually about. This however, can be seen as a negative aspect in that too little about the film is portrayed.

I am most happy with the look and feel of the trailer. I used increasingly quick shots to maintain a fast pace and in order to build up the suspense. I used the Last Skeptik remix of Mowgli’s Road by Marina and the Diamonds for the soundtrack because the song is about a fork in the road and taking the “beaten path”, which both relate to the message I’m trying to send across. The message I want to portray is that everyone feels the same emotions and face the same life-changing obstacles.

Another note: Paul’s character is now named Dennix. Paul was an initial name I chose solely for scriptwriting purposes. Also, I wanted to put more of Dennix in the part and make it more of a personal thing.
