Locations
I am going to use a few locations for my Trailer but for the magazine and poster, I want a white background so anywhere with a white background will do.
These are a few ideas of what I would like to include in my film.
The Bridge Scene
I want to use this location for a murder scene. The bridge gives access for a high location and the audience assumes when Sean grabs a character that he will throw him off the bridge. This gives the Trailer some tension and excitement.
Inside of Sean's house
This is for use during the breakfast scene. I think it will create a calm and 'normal' atmosphere for the trailer. This could contrast against the bridge scene that has a murder. The protagonist could be sitting reading the newspaper, watching television or eating lunch or breakfast. This creates an everyday life atmosphere.
Bede College corridors
I am going to use a colleges corridors for one scene as a representation of the separation of the main protagonist and society as two characters will nudge past him in the corridor. The main character will show no remorse for his actions and continue walking.
Although Sean is portrayed as an adult, the setting for the trailer is not actually a college, I wanted to create a scene of social deprivation for the protagonist so I used a suitable corridor scene.

Trailer - Editing and the Program
The program I am using to edit my film is Sony Vegas Pro 10.0. I am almost finished editing the final versions of the Trailer. I have used features such as Media Generators and Fade in Vegas to create a professional effect in the Trailer. I prefer Sony Vegas over Adobe Premiere Pro because I am used to it and it is less confusing for me. Although Premiere Pro has more features, much of the features can be added with After Effects or other similar programs.
Ideas for soundtrack
My ideal soundtrack would be using music track from the Two Steps From Hell production music company. They have realeased three public albums as of now and I am currently reseraching which music would go with the film trailer. I want the music to be dramatic but just to an extent and with paced rythym. I am also looking at how to contact the composers so I can request permission to play it for my trailer. I will choose which music is appropriate, then ask for permission to play it, and then buy the track or the album.
Target Audience
The target audience for my products is aimed towards people who enjoy british crime dramas. The audience would be class D to C1. I don't think class E should be included as our target audience because I think that pensioners wouldn't be interested in our films. I want the audience to see how Sean is portrayed and to get across the idea that he lives two lives. The trailer does state in some captions that he wants to break free from the bad side of his life and live a normal life. The audience may want to watch this for escapism, to escape from reality or for drama and general entertainment.
The target audience could also be a male orientated audience who can relate to Sean as a marginalised male, stuck between the chaos and complications of life, or it could also be watched as an escapism from their own problems. The products would satisfy this audience using a similar marginalised male who they can identify with or possibly use the character as an outlet. By doing so, I attract a certain type of male from Connells Masculinities and by word of mouth, the product could become popular.

Idea for the trailer
Me and Sean have talked about what to do for the film trailer and we came across an idea for the trailer while we were talking and creating the storyboards.
We decided to do a trailer with only two scenes, swapping them every 10 seconds or so. The first scene would show the character reading the newspaper, drinking tea and eating a bagel or toast. This would emphasise the fact that the character is living an everyday life.
We want the first scene to look a bit like this. The mise en scene is good as nearly
everything is white and this implies that the character is pure.
10 seconds into the scene we could cut to the character killing a victim. This may seem confusing but we leave the scene to play for around 5 seconds. Then it cuts back to the character eating his toast or bagel and still reading the newspaper. It keeps cutting between the two scenes as this puts emphasis on the statement I said before: This character lives an everyday life, but he has a second life as a hitman and he tries to break away from that life.
Brief
Brief
I have decided to do a film trailer with a poster advertising the film and a magazine featuring the film. I have looked at a few ideas for film trailers and decided to do a British Crime/Gangster genre.
I am going to use Sean Watson as the main protagonist for this film trailer as I thought he would create a good "silent character who will not speak out of line". Their characteristics are the same and he is what I imagined the character to be like.
Possible scene
Possible Scene
The trailer will basically outline how the character lives a normal life but also works as a hitman for a local gang. It shows the surpression and how he tries to break away from the gang and live his life in peace but as much as he wants to break free, the harder he struggles the harder it is to escape from it.
The characters will be wearing suits for parts of the film trailer which implies that the characters are part of a gang. I will also be using props such as a gun to create the crime/gangster cliché.
The poster and magazine cover featuring the film will have Sean posing as the main character since the film is essentially all about the main character.

Mood Board - Inspiring ideas
The current project I'm working on involves creating a page full of ideas from pictures and inspirational texts. Here I've use Publisher to compile the ideas together and saved them as one full page for each idea.
I have been looking into certain genres to produce a film trailer of that genre. So I decided upon three separate ideas. The first one I looked into is a traditional British gangster genre. The characters would look like cliché gangsters and the setting would be centred around industrial England.
The next genre I decided to research was a horror/thriller type film with a typical character who chases a group of people around. I decided to focus on masked characters so that the identity is unknown and builds suspense for the film. I wanted to set the scene in a dark forest to give that movie cliché.
I also looked at the comedy genre and viewed trailers from inspirational movies such as "The Hangover" and "Blades of Glory" to get some ideas for a trailer. Some of the characters from "The Hangover" series could be used as ideas for characters used in the trailer. I decided to set one scene in a football pitch in front of lots of people for the added humour effect.
