Today's Teaser! 13/Jan/10

For the better part of today I've been working on our short teaser trailer (roughly 15 seconds long). It's a slow artificial zoom into a class room window - you cant see any students. As the camera zooms in, the audio begins to muffle in much like the audio in Saving Private Ryan. As this happens, we realise the audio is of a giant student argument - they're all yelling their heads off behind the door, as it escalates even more a student yells "NO!" and a chair hits the window that the camera is peering through. It fades to black giving the title of the series as well as a link to our blog (www.detentiondeficit.blogspot.com).

I'm pretty proud! although, If I were there when filming, I would've made sure they color corrected more by white balancing and exposing properly. I fixed that well enough in FCP however. Experimenting with audio was fun - I used a lo-pass filter, making the audio fade in via bass, coming from sub-sonic into perceiveable sound creating a good transition in rather than a simple volume increase.



Keith:
Keith is a troubled caffiene addict who suffers from anxiety attacks. he causes conflict from annoying people with his mood swings and excessive talking. and when he get's angry, boy does he flip out.

Sonny:
Sonny doesn't quite understand the meaning of detention, but enjoys the thrills that go with getting himself in it. He's certainly the most agressive out of the characters. This guy likes to shout.

Pier:
Pier is one of those people who always wanted the excitement of life to be like the films. He also loves freedom, and because of this, draws up ways in which to escape detention. obviously, his ideas are better than simply walking out the front door.

Valerie:
This girl feeds off everyones problems, causes conflict, and sits down and enjoys watching the mess she's created. She enjoys a good old shout as well, so her and Sonny don't tend to get along.

Vince:
The best way to descibe Vince is he's a paranoid pesemistic who believes that people are watching him at times. If he's reading, it's about conspiracy theories. Though he's obviously troubled, he's very calm in his approach.
