Be a media critic
Once you’ve made your film trailer for Antarctica: The Movie, it’s time to consider a soundtrack.
Activity
Join up with three other pairs to make a group of eight.
Imagine you are film critics for a national newspaper. Together, review each other’s trailers!
- Is it clear what type of audience the movie is aimed at?
- What key words did the moviemakers use to hook their audience?
- Is there a soundtrack for the trailer and was it a good choice?
- For the 1948 film Scott of the Antarctic, Vaughan Williams composed symphony No. 7 titled Sinfonia Antarctica. Listen to the first 2-minutes of the score with your eyes closed. Does the music evoke a sense of place?
- Overall, does the trailer make you want to go to the movie?
- As a group, vote for the movie that has the best chance of being a big hit at the box office, and discuss why!
