Technical Production Reserach

What is it?

Technical Production Management includes the planning, logistics, installation and operation of technical equipment for events, exhibitions, live shows and conferences. This includes such items as: Lighting and rigging.

How have you used it?

This tells us that the planning for the trailer helps the most because then we can get more of an idea in our mind and we then use each stage on what to do and the basic next steps of it the best planned out stage by stage bit is to do it using and making a mind map because everything is on there

Effect you hope to achieve in your trailer?

To make people want to watch it more and eventually make and build that tension towards the trailer so if it came out the public would eventually want to watch the movie because rthe trailer leaves you on cliff hangers.

Jump Cut

In filmmaking, a jump cut is an edit to a single, sequential shot that makes the action appear to leap forward in time. After the cut, the subject may appear in a different position or attitude, or the camera position may be slightly different. I got this from adobe and the jump cut helps so much with my trailer because it is little things builing up at once and then it ends with a big cliff hanger.

Transitions

Crossfades can also convey a sense of passing time or changing location and it also fades the shot to a single colour, usually black or white. The "fade to black" and "fade from black" are ubiquitous in film and television. They usually signal the beginning and end of scenes.

Fades can be used between shots to create a sort of crossfade which, for example, fades briefly to white before fading to the next shot. The website i got this from is called mediacollege.com and the way this helps is when it is the colour white it gives it way more pace than black because with the colour black it feels like the trailer is quieting down as it goes on and with white it is brighter so it makes the pace go faster and better.


Camera Terms:

Are basically the lighting of the camera you use of all the equipment that is inside the camera and the equipment with it like a tripod.


Point of View Shot

A point of view shot is a film angle that shows what a character is looking at in the first person. In other words, the camera acts as the eyes of a character and the audience sees what they see. It is usually established by being positioned between a shot of a character looking at something, and a shot showing the character's reaction. This information is from studiobinder.com this helps in the trailer because you get to see a reaction in someone's facial expressions and you get to then also see there point of view on camera.
