There were many extras included in this trailer. 

Jordan and Jaemee have shared a lot of the roles equally within the making of this trailer. We directed along side each other with filming different scenes for example, Jordan would be cinematographer for one scene (classroom scene) while Jaemee would be boom operator and both would direct along side each other and bouncing ideas off of each other in order to create a shot perfectly suited to our needs. Jaemee would then take over as cinematographer for one scene and Jordan would be boom operator in the same scene (news reporter scene). 

Editing is a different process where Jordan took the over the role as main editor while Jaemee organised written work and gave feedback on the trailer where needed. 

Changes made to the trailer:
- To emphasize disaster, we have added in a scene of normal life
- Establishing shots were filmed to make the trailer make sense to the audience
- We made the decision to not add in an American news reporter because we felt that we had sufficient amount of reporters and having the extra reporter would have been confusing.
- Stock Footage was added in to add in a dramatic effect, to impact the audience and to make more emphasis on the disaster.
- A shot of a picture frame with a picture of Louis and Dan as brothers was added in so the audience can understand that they are brothers and gives more of a sympathetic panicky reaction for the audience as they realise the parents sons are out camping while a tsunami happens.

We stuck to the script as much as we could - we kept the majority of our lines except for the line where it says "......is being hit by a 60m wave) we made this change to the line to give emphasis to the disaster because there would be more destruction from a 60m wave than the original 30m wave.

There was a change in the time that we filmed the camping scene. It was filmed a week early due to conflicting times in the camera booking, this meant that there was more time to edit the footage carefully and allowed us more time to film pick up shots where it was needed and still have time left over to carefully edit and render a rough cut.
