Forrest Gump Trailer

In our class we had to compose a video trailer of any movie we wanted and change the theme of it by using music to imitate the emotion. I decided to to choose Forrest Gump not only because it is my favorite movie but also because it had so many genres included such as: Romance, comedy, coming of age, drama, and Americana. there was a lot to work with so i decided the make it a horror. The concept of this trailer is that forrest was an outcast that no one could relate too, until he met this girl named Jenny. She accepted him for who he was. He ended up running away but still kept Jenny in his mind. She had moved on to someone else. Forrest came back for her but he became obsessed. So he ends up stalking her through the whole trailer.

This is the trailer i first watched in order to come up with my genre.


QUESTIONS
The mood has been changed from light and playful to suspenseful and creepy
I added the voice over at the end. I used different parts from the movie and put them in certain parts of the trailer so it would look more intense in some areas.
I wanted to make sure that the trailer would convey what i wanted it too. I wanted the viewer to see that he was progressing into a man who had an obsession. The music was a perfect fit because it linked everything together. It made everything more dramatic. It wasn't the easiest to find a scary song that matched my video. It took me about 3 periodes of searching in order to finalize the music. When i put it with the video it was a perfect match.
