Sweded Movie Trailers

In our recent media lessons we have been looking at different movie trailers that have been sweded. The most popular one, and favourited of the class was Batman (link is opposite). Although the budget was far from spectacular, the group managed to create a effective movie trailer that displays all the correct and indulging properties of the original movie Batman movie trailer. This is the newest batman film out also, so the trailer was going to be more advanced and developed than the previous batman films.

After looking at these trailers and taking notes on the comedy aspects but also how they create a trailer from practically nothing - we were given the task to create our own sweded movie trailer.

I partnered with Harry, and ironically we decided to produce Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

We were going through different movies in our heads such as Saw and Superman, going through different ideas, how comical could we make it or if we had enough materials or the correct sort of enviroment to do so. When we decided with Harry Potter trailer, we both just started coming up with lots of innavative ideas which we could being possible to adapt.

We created story boards and a plan of action for our day's filming. On our next production day we brought in our required elements which where our wizard gowns (or dressing gowns as you may call them) and began to film the key features of the film, Harry finding out he is a wizard, going to Hogwarts, deciding his house, first quiditch and of course about the Stone. We followed our story board but most of the final decisions about the different camera shots where spontaneous.

We enjoyed our time filming and editing as we both felt it was very relaxed and that not every bit of detailed had to be perfect as it was a sweded trailer rather than a proffesional trailer.

We were very pleased with the end result and were proud of our work. We believe it is very entertaining to watch and our classmates voted it as one of the best.
