"The Diplomat" Exclusive Backstory



Introduction: "The Diplomat" came about last year as a final class project for NMD 270. This was a rather open-ended assignment that pretty much just required that we worked in groups and the video was at least 1 minute long and utilized some techniques covered in class.

Intent: We tried our best to make this seem like a movie trailer. We aimed to have the pacing speed up by the end and throw in a little production value with weapon effects and movie studio logos. It's pretty obvious this is a class project and is a little rough but hopefully some hidden charm will shine through.

Premise: Aside from the movie trailer vibe we were looking to convey a sort of satirical take on the action/drama film. Nothing the trailer does is meant to seem original or fresh but rather it's aim is to poke fun at movies or shows we've all seen before. The title "The Diplomat" is unsurprisingly intended to be a little tongue-in-cheek as there's nothing very calculating or tactful about the main character to say the least.
