Radio Trailer and Double Page Spread Interview

As part of the development and research into the production of my film, I decided to, as part of my marketing and research, create a radio trailer clip of music and a double page spread interview, as if speaking with producer, Spike Jonze. By doing this, I feel it will help me develop my marketing research in preparation for my own short feature film, and allow me to understand the methods in which advertisers and market researchers use to create an enigma around up coming film

Radio Trailer Music by ag4939

This radio trailer music took a while to develop, using the software, "Garage Band". As neither me nor any of my team members had used this particular software before, we found it at first difficult to get to grips with its different capabilities and many applications, but eventually grasped the concepts. We added various instruments and undertones of beats to our track, and eventually developed what is now our final piece. We thoroughly enjoyed its development, as we were able to build new skills in further programmes on the apple mac computers, and prepare for our very own film music, which we will need to create ourselves.

Our second production task required me to either create a film poster advertising the short film, "Im Here", or a double page spread of an interview with the director, Spike Jonze. I decided to develop the interview spread, as I felt I could best incorporate his reasons and details behind the production of the film through this method, and give more to the audience than a simplistic poster would. 

I found its production easier than that of the radio trailer, as I have used photshop previously for many of my media projects. I used the website, www.dafont.com to get the variety of fonts I used, and searched various websites for the main image used in the background. I asked questions such as, "What was production of the film like? I bet it was a tough journey?" and "Where did your inspiration stem from?". Of course the answers developed were not of his own words, but after extensive research and detailled answering I feel this finished product is professional and readable to a wider audience, and perhaps could be included in a film enthusiast magazine.

Double Page Spread Interview with Director Spike Jonze

In summation, I enjoyed this particular task of distribution. The research I carried out concerning Spike Jonze however has interested me to carry out a deeper level of investigation into why amateur and new directors choose to create a short film. I will now look at a further range of successful other directors, and their reasonings behind such methods of production of their chosen art form of short films.
