Research and Planning - Prop seleceted for the trailer

Below is a rough idea of how we expect and hope our script to turn out in our teaser trailer. We use little dialogue as a technique for adding tension and a sense of mystery behind the scenes that we show, although non-diegetic sound will be used to highlight any states of emergency and action.

The script was created by following through the animatic shot lists one by one and filling in where it would be neccessary to have dialogue.

Shot 4: (This winter..) - We are currently undecided on whether we will get a character to say "This winter" or leave the silence to add suspense.

Shot 5: (fight scene) - Moans and groans of the fight will be classed as standard diegetic on scene noise.

Shot 7: (Their story is told..) - Again we are not sure whether to include a voice over of a character saying "Their story is told", if we do decide on this the other titles will have a voice over accompanying them too.

Shot 9: (Result of fight - Close up) - Possibly diegetic noise may be said by the character as an emphasis on emotion and the state in which they are, but no specific dialogue.

Shot 12: (Confrontation of character) - The character shouts aggressively "What?" as a bold challenge and to highlight a typical aggressive attitude.

Props

Props for the scenes:

Below is a rough idea of what props we will need throughout our teaser trailer, it is important that we plan this aspect to create undeniable realism and a professional effect.

The (–) mean that props are not needed for this shot.

Shot 1: - (everyday tower block view no added props needed)

Shot 2: - (everyday street view of a police car, no added props needed)

Shot 3: A cigerette will be needed to add emphasis on a rebellious character introduction.

Shot 4: - (titles)

Shot 5: - (a standard mock fist fight with no weapons)

Shot 6: A spray of fake blood will be used to create the remains of a realistic fight splattered up the wall

Shot 7: - (titles)

Shot 8: Fake blood and Make up will be used to emphasis the rough attack on the character

Shot 9: A car will be used to race by (either mine or Daves) to highlight the rebellious act

Shot 10: A cigerette will be used again to be stamped out to illustrate a state of anger or terror

Shot 11: -

Shot 12: A replica BB gun will be used for this shot to add emphasis on the violent outburst

Shot 13: - (Titles)

Shot 14: - (Titles)

Shot 15: - (Titles)

This is the fake blood gel we will use:

Shot 9: (Result of fight - Close up) - Possibly diegetic noise may be said by the character as an emphasis on emotion and the state in which they are, but no specific dialogue.

However, as we are using quite quick, short shots very little is said in the trailer. This is quite common for a trailer, as it leaves a sense of enigma to it, hooking the audience in to following the other promotion schemes behind the film.

All these films have a gritty side to them. They are mostly drama's.

Research and Planning - Font Research

In this post I have researched into films with similar target audiences as our own and the types of font they have used in their trailers/ teaser trailers, in particular for their film title. Below i believe to be some effective some not so effective for different reasons fonts used fot the trailers. In descending order from left to right, here as follows are the names of the films i have used..

• Shank
• Kidulthood
• Bullet Boy
• 4.3.2.1
• Adulthood
• This Is England

Shank

For me Shank has the most effective use of both background and font... The simplicity of it, is ideal for a fast moving trailer, especially for teaser trailers as the pace of shots changing is even quicker. The ending of 'Shank's' trailer is nicely tied up by a rustic brown coloured, clowdy looking background with the film title 'SHANK' slowing coming out from the misty background, getting bolder and bolder, with their punchy eye catching catch phrases 'If Your Not One Of Us; (next shot) 'Your A Victim'

Research and Planning - Certificate

In our film we have chosen to guide the film along the '15' rating allowing us to identify the traumatic gritty scenes we wish to express. Below are the guidelines in which we must felow to consider the film efficently a 15+ aimed target audience.Discrimination The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatorylanguage or behaviour.DrugsDrug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must notpromote or encourage drug misuse. The misuse of easilyaccessible and highly dangerous substances (for example,aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable.HorrorStrong threat and menace are permitted unless sadisticor sexualised.Imitable behaviourDangerous behaviour (for example, hanging, suicide andself-harming) should not dwell on detail which could becopied. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised.LanguageThere may be frequent use of strong language (for example,‘fuck’). The strongest terms (for example, ‘cunt’) may beacceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeateduse of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.NudityNudity may be allowed in a sexual context but withoutstrong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in anon-sexual or educational context.SexSexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail.There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour,but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptableunless justified by context. Works whose primary purpose issexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable.ThemeNo theme is prohibited, provided the treatment isappropriate for 15 year olds.ViolenceViolence may be strong but should not dwell on the inflictionof pain or injury. The strongest gory images are unlikely tobe acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualised violence is alsounlikely to be acceptable.There may be detailed verbal references to sexual violencebut any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet andhave a strong contextual justification.
