VoiceOvers

A Voice-Over is the sound of a voice from an unseen character who is not seen speaking in the trailer but on top of the broadcast, many romantic movies use voiceovers in their trailers to act as a narrative for the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. it is a way to express what might happen in the film without giving a way too much, films often just use quotes found in the movie without the matching filmed parts. in our trailer we wanted to use a voiceover to narrate the female characters pain when things go wrong, and therefore a voiceover was the most effective technique in doing so.
Voiceovers are sometimes repeated from the traler onto the film and this is a way to add conuity in the rom-com Love and Other Drugs a voice over is used in the trailer as well as the final words in the film:
 “Sometimes the things you want the most don’t happen and what you least expect happens. I don’t know – you meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet that one person and your life is changed. “

This quote is from the Romantic Drama 'Remember me'
someone comes into your life and half of you says danger stay in your cage you're no where near ready and the other half says make her yours forever

This quote is from the Romantic Drama 'Like Crazy'
“I thought I understood it, that I could grasp it, but I didn’t, not really. Only the smudgeness of it; the pink-slippered, all-containered, semi-precious eagerness of it. I didn’t realize it would sometimes be more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea. Because it’s the halves that halve you in half. I didn’t know, don’t know, about the in-between bits; the gory bits of you, and the gory bits of me.”

This quote is from the Romantic Film 'The Vow'
Life's all about moments, of impact and how they changes our lives forever. But what if one day you could no longer remember any of them?


This voiceover is the one we chose to write for our voiceover for the 'Intimate' film trailer, we wanted to use love quotes like the other examples above and researched these quotes in detail. we think the words and phrases in the voiceover work well with the narrative and with what happens in the film, and if were to make the whole feature length film then including this passage would be important to us. 

This love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions. Like screaming out loud with no one else to listen, no one will ever understand just how much it hurts. I thought I knew what  IT was.  But I wasn’t prepared not really. Sometimes I even wish I could have all the bad stuff back just so I could have the good again.

Everything seems brighter, happier and more intense when your in love. When you find it don’t let go. 

Social Networking Sites

With the use of Social Networking sites being everywhere nowadays we wanted to ensure our trailer used sites like Facebook to promote are film. in order to do this, we thought that at the end of the trailer just after the billing block a screen shot of details on how to follow the 'Intimate' film franchise will appear, with the Facebook logo and a website name, similar to some other examples we saw whilst researching romantic film trailers on youtube. 

This was an example we found from the Vow trailer so recreated it in our movie piece. 

DVD

We wanted to be able to make a film cover for the film and therefore used the same image as what we used in the film poster because most films do use similar images as the trailer, in order to make our blue-ray cover we added and removed a number of components from our trailer, we started by removing the billing block and moving the title of the film from the bottom of the publication to the top, we also moved the character titles further up, we then needed to add to certificates to either bottom corners of the case this made the over look instantly genuine, we then added the blue ray logo to the bottom of the case and the logo for ‘focus features’ as this will be our main institution, in order to make the cover look even more genuine we then added review quotes and ‘star ratings to the dvd on either side of the main image this made the cover look further genuine, and we were really pleased with the way it turned out. 

Choice Of Title

We decided to call our film Intimate, the word intimate expresses and intimate relationshop that inbolves physical and emotional intimacy. physical intimacy is characterized by romantic or passionate love and attachment or sexucal activitiy. the term is also used as a euphemism for a sexual relationship. intimate relationships play a central role in the overal human experience- this side of the word intimate draws on the beginging and the equilibrium of the film where the couple are completley in love, however we wanted to make the word a pun and hint at the narative of the film, to do this we seperated the word so that the audience could read it as both 'Intimate' and 'In-mate' which suggests that the film would have something to do with prison, i was really pleased with this idea as it was a clever technique and something that real films look for when creating a title. our logo in general i thought was realy realistic and as a group we were very pleased with the way it ad turned out.
