Production Company

For my Film Trailer i have had to design my own production company the idea i have come up with is Casual.Culture.Productions it consists of a kind of hooligan like logo which i think represents my genre of film well. The reason i have done this is throughout my research all professional looking DVD covers and trailers all include production company's so therefore to make my trailer look more professional i have come up with my own.



This is also another lay out of a magazine cover that i may use when designing my films magazine cover, although i may not use this actual lay out i mate take different aspects from it and corporate them in to my final design.


This is one basic mock up lay out that i may use or use different aspects from the lay out when designing my magazine cover for my film trailer.

Trailer Script

SCRIPT

Clip where outside of the school (mid group shot)


Harry Pickford – “When I see that Hack hales im going rip his head of “

Dan Barlow – “Im going smash that wasteman”

Liam Proyer – “Im going smash that pussy when a see him outside school, yeah”

Harry agrees - “yeahhh”

Dan Barlow – “ahh shit were going to be late boys”

Clip where it skips to the closer shot of them all getting around him and intimidating him (mid group shot)
Harry – “come on boys lets get him in the shed… lets get him in that shed man!”

Clip where beat and pushed to floor

Jack Hales – each time gets hit makes a kind of hurt distress noise.

Clip where blank then jack runs past then to right out of school
Dan Barlow – (not in shot, shouts) “pussyole”


This is going to be my script When shooting my film trailer, though when filming I may change it slightly or it may be said in a more informal way to give a better and more realistic effect.

The reason I haven’t included such a long script for my trailer is because a lot of the shots in my trailer and also the mood throughout the shots will give the audience a better feeling of what is going on. Also it lets the audience have there own interpretation on the situation that will be in my trailer. Another reason why I have kept my script so short is because it doesn’t give the audience too much of an in site as to what happens and leaves it for the audience to want to watch the actual film as this is the whole purpose of a trailer.

Location Shots






These are the three locations i am going to use to film different clips for my trailer. I i will also use inside the house and also inside some of the school grounds. On the first location shot in the street i have had to think about lighting as i am going to use this location when the boys assaults the to bullies. The reason i chose this location was because of the street lamps and they should resolve any lighting issues i may have if it becomes to dark to film under natural lighting.

Professional Storyboard


Storyboard



The reason i have made a storyboard is because this gives me a basic plan for my film trailer although i may add or remove ideas when filming and editing my film trailer.

From this basic story board i am now going to make an animatics video to give me a good idea of how i am going to film my trailer.

Storyline

From my research and studying of film trailers i have finally decided on a storyline for my film trailer. I have decided to stick with my chosen genre from my research which is thriller, but i am going to make it a kind of drama / thriller. My reasons for this is because most British films made today that are popular are drama or thriller genres. I believe the reason for this is because in drama's people can relate to the typical day to day situations but also if i include a thrilling aspect it should make my trailer more thrilling and a better sensation for viewers. Also this will widen my target audience and bring in more viewers.

My storyline - for my storyline it is going to be as follows.

A boy goes to school and gets bullied every day of his life by three bullies. Then one day he comes out of school and the bullies take him to a small room on the complex of the school and beat him then the boy will run home. Once he gets home already feeling frustrated and confused as to why its him. He then goes to his room opens up his laptop to find that the bullies have emailed him trying to wind him up. The boy will then flip and go down stairs to pick up a weapon of some sort, leave the house to find the bullies. He then finds two of them walking down a dark road and assaults them both and then once the assault is over he realises what he has done and hides the knife.

I have not yet thought of an ending, but i do not think this matters as in every trailer they never reveal the ending of the film or to much of what the result of certain consequences can end up in. Also if i leave the trailer hanging with the viewer wanting to know what happens as a result of the assault to the bullies.

The reason i think my storyline will be suitable for my target audiences of teenagers is because every teenager will remember or can relate to school, and in every school there is always bullying happening. Therefore so many teens will be able to relate to the storyline at hand.

From this storyline i am now going to design a storyboard and animatics in good time for good preparation before beginning to film my film trailer.

This is a list of fonts that i think will work well when designing my magazine cover, poster and i may even try to incorporate them in my trailer.

Film names

It has taken a lot of thought and research into what i want my film to be called. I spent a lot of time looking at films and there titles and thinking if they have any meaning or not. My results showed me that most thrillers did have a meaning behind the name therefore if i want my trailer to look professional i will need to include this in my film name for my trailer. I spent a long time thinking about what i could call it and eventually i found inspiration in a song i was listening to which was called F.E.A.R by Ian Brown. The reason i have chose this is because behind the name in all the lyrics of the song they started with F E A and R. This give the word fear a bigger meaning and makes the song have more of a meaning so therefore i thought i could incorporate this into my film trailer i am going to design. The lyrics with the meaning behind them that i am going to use are as follows: For. Everything. A. Reason - Forget. Everything. And. Remember - Face. Everybody. And. Rule
