During the half-term we spent time filming for the teaser trailer. However, as soon as we had a little content I realised that it was extremely hard to cut certain bits out to create the snappy transition of many 1 or 2 second shots which just imply a meaning and don't carry it out properly. As a consequence, I saw the opportunity to extend it into a short film instead. This would give me a chance to exercise my narrative qualities that I use with my creative writing in English – and a career interest of writing screenplay.
This leads me on to how a teaser trailer is so very different to a short film in so many ways, although they are both visual media and a short film is only slightly longer. Having said this, the extra few minutes are essential to creating an opening, and more importantly a closure of the narrative. This is the main difference between the two, as a teaser trailer with not have this explicit narrative, merely imply genre, stereotypes etc. as it is meant to entice and not explain.
To conclude, I am going to finish the short film, and also complete filming for the teaser trailer, so we have an option to polish one for the final product.
