Research and planning: film name ideas on Solvr

I used this software to try and help me decide what to call my film trailer. I found it hard to come up with a name as I didn't want it to be similar to any other romance film, but also I wanted it to be original  and not cheesy.

Research and planning: Half term plan

Over half term I am hoping to get my production/distribution company ideas and start to think about what I should call my film trailer using Solvr.

This is my production schedule.  It will help me keep up to date with my project and give me a rough idea of when to do the tasks.

Research and planning: sound test

I have researched some romantic scores to give me an idea on what my soundtrack for my trailer will sound like.

The third song will be good for the scene where my male character runs after the girl as he realises he loves her.

This soundtrack involves different parts to it where it is reflecting the emotions in the storyline. I would like to try and make a similar soundtrack of my own in terms of changing the track to fit with my storyline.
