Textual Analysis (Music Documentary)
l https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oSJs25fg04
Discuss what is seen?
This trailer shows the backstage antic's of the band Green Day. Including in between shows and whilst on tour, with interviews between the band and the crew. I'm going to try and include all of these things in my own film.As well as footage from performances.
How has the director made this mean something?
The director wanted to make sure that Green Day fans can see exactly what goes on with the band whilst they are on tour, as this is an inside look that they don't usually get. As the band i'm making a documentary on are not particularly popular, mine will revolve around band practices and first performances, as well as setting up.
What it means to us
The director wants to keep the audience interested throughout the entire film therefore it's important that they capture important aspects of the film throughout the trailer. For example watching the trailer it's evident that the parts people are most interested in is facts and stories behind the performances and the performances themselves, therefore the trailer should build up with both of these things. My trailer is going to include these as people will see an amateur band trying to start out.
What is shown to us on the screen and the sound with it
As throughout the trailer were shown performances from the band Green Day, it;s only fitting that green day music is included throughout. If you listen closely when the band is performing the music is loud, and when the trailer skips to backstage it's quieter, this is what i'm going to attempt to recreate in my own trailer.
Mise En Scene
The Mise En Scene throughout fits in with the type of band Green Day is (grungy rock) therefore the costumes they wear include a lot of black and makeup around the eyes, the band note to self that I am doing my own documentary on, has the same image therefore it is crucial that the set designs and lighting are quite dim and gloomy to fit the type of band they are.
Extracts from Influential Films- Feedback
How are you going to get across the fact that this is a documentary and not a film?
Throughout the trailer i'm going to have certain title's to remind the audience that the film is factual and based on real life, for example titles such as "follow this one of a kind band around" that way the audience should realize that their is a clear distinction between a film and a documentary.
How long will it take to film this?
The band i'm doing my film on have got a concert on the 16th on December where i'm going to get a majority of my footage, as well as throughout January getting clips of band rehearsals.
What equipment will you need?
A majority of the set design will be provided by the band as they would have their own musical instruments, lights and microphones.
Is this going to cost you any money?
No it wont cost me anything apart from travelling to the destinations where the band are practicing.
