Due to one of the previous actors not being available, a recast has had to be filed. This meant that I had to re-film all of my trailer within 72 hours before the trailer deadline.
here is a draft for the new footage.

Character profiles (changed)
Tessa: Bethany Mallett
Characteristics: Brown hair, blue eyes, 5"3 tall.
Why is she suitable for the character?: She is a suitable candidate as she is willing to get involved with our production, her physical features are what we are looking for in our character Tessa. She also has a similar fashion to her character and lifestyle, meaning she can be herself in the production, and will not find it hard to get into character.
Luna: Trinity Roberts
Characteristics: Short brown hair, dark clothing style with Brown eyes. 5"5 tall
Why is she suitable for the character?: I feel that she will fit the character due to accepting to be a part of the production. I feel this will be a slight challenge for her to change to the character but she will be able to do it as she does have similar antisocial characteristics. She also has lots of different clothing in which she could wear for the videoing sessions.
Jamie: Lauren Brown
Characteristics: Red rockchick hair, brown eyes 5"6 tall
Why is she suitable for the character?: Similar to Tessa's reasoning. Her personality and characteristics are similar to the character due to being very rebellious in her behaviour, as well as not being a highly social character in social situations, in which is very similar to the part of Jamie. She is a person who would be willing to partake with the production as well as being part of the team creating the trailer. She wears similar clothing so will not need to buy clothes for the production.

Improvements to script
Luna:
This is the story about how I lost my bestfriend... my co worker and almost ruined my career.
But lets start at the beginning.
Tessa:

Tessa:
(Curiously) "Are you going to the meeting for the BFI competition later?"
Tessa's friend Louise:
(disgusted) "EUGH, Why would I go to that??"
Tessa:
(monotone) " Have you ever been so oblivious to some people who make you happy?"
Tessa:
(monotone) "And they disappoint you?"
Tessa:
(argumentatively/loud angry tone) "I thought you were becoming a better person!"
Luna:
(sassy tone) "Well at least my old friends don't try and change me like i'm incapable of being myself!"

inspiration for improvements
After looking at my first draft of my trailer I realised I needed to make some slight improvements. From my trailer, I could see that it does not completely follow conventions of indie films/coming of age films. One key convention I have noticed is the use of narration, This is because the audience want to feel close with the main character and in most situations, the main character narrates the story so that you can follow. Here are two examples of trailers, not particularly of my genre, that follow this convention that I could incorporate into my trailer.
My voice over script:
- My names Luna Bloome and this is my story...
- I feel like life relates to diary of a whimpy kid, when i'd prefer the breakfast club
- I don't really like making friends..
- Wait. that's a lie. I'm just not very good at it.
- Ok.. i'm awkward.. this is so awkward
- I don't really know who I am yet
- But I definitely know it's not bloody butterflies and rainbows
- I feel like I try really hard to be friends with the local Barbie
- But no one beats my best friend Jamie.
Inter title improvements
I have realised looking back at existing products, as well as my own trailer that my intertitles do not look as professional as they should. Therefore I went back onto fireworks to edit my intertitles more to see if this helps to create a more professional tone to my trailer.
I think because of my audience, it is a good idea to include links to social media as this is a big influence on young peoples lives, as well as helping to show more marketing techniques that I could include for this piece.
