AF105 Moments In Time

We have been asked to produce a TV trailer for a new series of radio programmes on Radio 4 called 'Moments In Time - Speeches' about a great speech of our choice from the 20th Century.

There is a list of speeches we have to choose from, if had any others in mind we could use that.
I chose Martin Luther King, I have a dream.

The TV trailer will act as a teaser about the speeches by creating a short film.  These films need to be a minimum of 1 minute long and a maximum of 2 minutes long with a 5 second leeway in each direction.  We will have to devise, shoot, edit and post produce ourselves.  The clips will be a visual accompaniment  to the words being spoken that will give the viewer a flavour of the political/social circumstances of the period in time when the speech was made.  We can include text elements to highlight the most powerful words being spoken.  We may also add music and sound effects if appropriate.

Points to keep in mind are;

- Do not film literal interpretations of the speech
- Do not let music overwhelm your trailer
- Do not let text get in the way/overwhelm your trailer
