Extra Footage, Dialogue and Music

We have filmed the extra footage of Mia's phone conversation. The location was at school in the media office, which is perfect to set the calm, normal everyday mood of Mia being at work as usual, before suddenly all this drama unexpectedly hits her life. The fact that the main protagonist is at work is an extrememly relateable experience for a majority of the audience, and makes the thriller that more terrifying, because a disaster like this could happen to anyone. She is with her best friend and work collegue 'Elana' in the office who is also seen in the original trailer, and at work they are chatting, not really very busy, which demonstrates further the relaxed atmosphere, which contrasts majorly to the catastrophe which is about to happen.

We filmed a few different variations of the dialogue, and we can decide when editing which is best to fit with our trailer, and also best fitting to the other half of the previously filmed phone call to Dean.

Another major decision we have made is to add another music track into the start of the trailer, and then attempt to blend it halfway through into the current music. The reason for this is because with the original trailer, basically every shot was action packed and had thriller conventions, however by filming and adding these new scenes of Mia at work to contrast her regular everyday life to make the action scenes even more disorientating, we need a calmer music at the start. Therefore when the footage starts to pick up pace and get exciting so will the music. We have decided on a track called 'The Dragster wave' which we discovered as it the the song played in the 'Taken' movie credits. It is extremely suitable because it has a relaxed feel to it as it is played on piano, yet there is an urgency about the tone and pace of the piece. This makes it perfect to build the tension.
