Gay pride
Starts off with girl looking at crowded locker room, everybody assumes she’s looking at dude talking with girl, but then did walks away and she’s looking at girl, and she still looking. Sighs in expiration.
Locks herself in bathroom, and looks at poster on the wall, and then replies to note. Next day the note has a reply. She then starts talking and eventually texting the person when the paper becomes full.
"love comedy"
dramatic speech at somebody? (maybe parent), about no idea how she feels, or what she has to go through every day (having to love people that will never love her back).
People being a bit homophobic, ask something, long awkward loud laughter followed by swig of drink, dead inside look in eyes.
Movie Examples
Love, Simon
Call Me By Your Name
Brokeback Mountain, 2005
Weekend (2011)
Moonlight (2016)
Camera Angles/Shots to use
Flip to the main characters face, then back to the lockers, then back to the main characters, and then back again, focus on the characters face, SLOW MOTION
show side views of her looking at the paper, and then the back side of her looking at the paper. Over head bathroom shots; her busting in, and locking herself in the bathroom.
over the shoulder transitions
Zoom into the characters face
side "panoramic shot", where a whole table of girls shown, land on her sitting at the very end
analysing movie ideas (love, Simon)
Shots to use
side shot (when he's texting blue)
top shot (walking up the stairs)
far away shots for two people (when Simon's talking to dude from across the streat)
Walking shots: A group of people walking down a crowded hallway, the camera following before them, so it looks like a group shot
Focusing on different objects: the character is pacing around the room waiting for a message on his computer, so the focus of the camera is on the actual computer, and when it chimes, the focus is back on the boy rushing towards it.
Transitions: the transitions are very quick and short, showing how hectic and exciting it is for Simon, and to show as much as possible in a two minute trailer, but at the same time show clearly how he gets from one place to another
Film Ideas
Texting/Messaging somebody els
Comedy: I really like the little shots that are made for comedic relief, such as the parents concerned on their way of parenting, or him freaking out on the dance, running fast, and then texting his parents to pick him up because children are "drinking"
What's effective in the Trailer:
It's very well lit, and the characters are always in frame and clearly visible, so that the main character of the story is noticeable and clear from the beginning.
The whole family and friends are also introduced, so we know who will be in the story from the very beginning
We get a clear view of the characters day to day life, and how he lives, and what he does with his friends before we find out the internal struggle he lives with
I like the awkwardness which shows the true nature of the character and the struggle that he really wants to avoid but cant because t's part of who he is.
The writing in the movie is also portrayed in the trailer, and is it clear which words and text experts the makers want you to focus on , and really notice
What's less effective
Depression
Social Anxiety
love comedy
Gay pride (looking at lockers at “guy”, but then he walk away and she looking at girl)
brother missing
someone trying to decide
horror movie - ??
