Trailer- Nice Work by David Lodge



For the execution of this Trailer of Nice Work, we´ve captured textual parts of the novel for us to reflect a faithful version of it. Taking into consideration that this novel has many aspects to be focused on, we´ve chosen to focus on Vic and Robyn´s love affair so as to make this story more appealing to the public.
The programmes we used for this trailer were xtranormal.com for the recreation of the scenes and VideoPad to put together all the scenes created by the previous software mentioned and to add some captions.


Due to the limitations of the programmes, we couldn't be as precise as we would have liked to be, but all the same we used this software because it is user friendly and it allows us to cause the effect we wanted.
The first scene that appears in the trailer was recreated by us, since we as readers only know about this event when Robyn tells her friend about the shadow scheme. However we thought it could be interesting to recreate the moment in which Swallow proposed this to Robyn. This scene was extracted from page 85 from the novel.
The following scene was extracted from page 144 when Vic and Robyn were complaining about the rights of Danny Ramm. We´ve thought that it would be interesting to show this part of the novel because it was the moment in which these two characters clashed the most.

The last scene was extracted from page 301. We´ve thought that this scene was fundamental in this trailer to show the turn of their story and to show Vic´s irrationality towards his feelings.
The scene of the plane flying was extracted from this link and the background song was extracted from this link.
I must say that, leaving all the difficulties that we´ve been through in this task behind, we think that this was a very interesting experience for us, not only because we got to know new softwares that we as teachers can use in the future with our students, but also because it helped us to be more immersed in this extraordinary novel.
