I am 17 years old and I'm directing, writing and I have a small Alfred Hitchcock-style cameo in the film

We're using a Sony HVR-Z1E for A-photo and a Sony HVR A1E for B-photo, that's two cameras in total. plus lights and a microphone(held up by me if we need it, we don't have a boom). All of this is provided by our director of photography (a 27 year old) who we're paying 4000 dollars for the job.

What you see in the trailer we spent one week to film, it's only half finished the other half will be filmed in one week in 20 days. as for additional costs, we have a person who's making a soundtrack for us (theme music and so on) as I understand it he wanted 4000 too but I'm not totally 100% on that. we also plan to buy some songs off an independent rapper who lives here (songs for party scenes and car scenes ect.)

We will be publishing on DVD and make both Norwegian and english subtitles so if you want to see it, just keep in touch and I'll send you a copy

Hey Daniel,

Congrats on making a movie - that's awesome.

The teaser trailer itself is horrible though imo. I have no clue as to what this film will be about and nothing in me really want's to see it. Slapping a teaser together might work for Hollywood cos' they obviously have a certain amount of draw power given the actors and what not. This, of course, doesn't have that for obvious reasons.

And on a technical note, I personally don't like when we see characters talking when they're muted due to the soundtrack playing over the whole thing, cos' part of me thinks that if it was important enough to show them talking, why wasn't it important enough to hear them talking? Doing a trailer with only a musical soundtrack you should never show characters talking when we can't hear them anyway. To me it looks very amateurish. Stay with the action shots and the emotion and leave out anything that doesn't tell a story.

That's the kind of critizism that makes me come back here regularly, thanks Sniper, I'll keep it in mind for the future

Nice stuff Daniel. I will keep in touch, and I will definatly buy a DVD of this.

Do you have any plans to send it to any festivels of anything?

Not really, Norway is a small country, I'm confident we'll be able to sell it without a whole lot of difficulty.

New teaser out, slightly better

[Translation:

Marina: Vengance will never halp anyone! It's over, leave me alone.

Kevin: Revenge helps.

Marina: It's my own fault what happened, vengance will never help anyone!

Kevin: Who the fuck says vengance doesn't help?

Title card: Vengance or justice]

Hey Daniel, just checked this out and it looks OK, no idea what it's about of course.  Even with the translation, I'm a bit clueless lol.  I guess it's a bout vengance or justice lol.

We'd like to keep a lid on it untill we've shot the rest. All the really cool scenes havent been shot yet, we've just shot the dialouge scenes and establishing.

The full story will be revealed when the real trailer is up. which will take a month or two. hehe. untill that just read the first post on this thread and watch the teasers to figure it out on your own

thanks for watching
