Studio Production Unit: Pre-Production - Trailer Style

I envisioned the trailer to comprise of only a few shots: having lots of cuts would remove the audience from the environment. With Jamie walking and the camera following we are placed right in the action as if we were heading to the set with him; lots of cuts would remove that effect.


On top of the concept I made here are a couple of examples of the transitions I want to implement into the trailer.




The clock transition at the start is very neat and the calibre I aim to make the edits in my trailer reach.


The second video just further examples the seamless transitions I am after:





I am aware of the difficulty of long takes but I'm confident it can be pulled off: I used long takes in my Directions Unit film with decent success. This will hopefully be more choreographed and the shots are more straightforward.

My only concern will be the co-ordination: the first shot consists of 4 paparazzi; 2 fans; a security man and Jamie. Including myself and a sound operator that's 9 people involved with one shot.

I know what I'm after and so as long as I can explain that there shouldn't be any big problems with the shoot.
