I suppose it would have been more efficient to take some
more shots, since this video was originally…well…not geared towards action.
However, I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could create something from
just the original video. I did some research on the action genre. I knew what
it was in general, but wondered if there were some more technical details I
should’ve been aware of. Naturally, there were many different types of action
sub-genres, but the one characteristic that all action genre film shares,
whether it be a martial arts or spy film, is motion. For the most part, action
films will have continuous movement, usually something intense like chases and
fights, in its scenes. With that in mind, I made sure to not use too many clips
where there is no movement or action, which wasn’t too hard, since most of the
video had some kind of motion occurring. Furthermore, considering how the
scenes where shot, I decided to try to take a more subtle approach; I tried to
create an action thriller that is in its earliest stages. Basically, with this
trailer, the movie is just being created, so the audience gets a few clips and
a few notes letting them know that the film is on its way, but there isn’t
enough footage to really give details into the plot. The mystery and
uncertainty come from the little information given, as well as the fact that
the actors’ faces aren’t shown, but the intense foreboding sensation lingers
within the music. Basically, something’s going to happen but no one knows what.
