Group Planning - Trailer Structure

Our group has had a discussion about what shots and footage that will be in our trailer and we have followed the trailer structure;



Opening - Starts with the killers backstory --> His parents teaching him not to sin



Build up - In school  at the back of a classroom , in lesson. - Montage of him in school being ignored and unnoticed.



Problem - Carves attention because he never gets any - Popular girl its all the attention and he looks over and is ticking people off a list, who gets the most attention and planning to kill them.



Events - Begins next victim is restricted, with dead classmates around him. As the camera pans closer to the victim, the victim will look up and gasp - it then finishes with the title and credits.

Questions For Focus Group

  1. What do you like about our film idea ?
  2. What do you not like about our idea ?
  3. Those this film sound like a horror film ?
  4. Would this be a film that you would watch ?
  5. Any ideas you think we should add in or take out ?
  6. Do you think that we would run into some problems while shooting ? 
The reason why I am asking these questions is because I want to know how people feel about our film. Feedback on our film, especially from our target audience, is key because it enables to incorporate some new ideas and will help us get rid of some ideas that are target audience are not that fond of. As I will be asking my target audience these question I will get representative answer.

The Visit Trailer Research

I've just watched the trailer for the film The Visit and have gained some ideas on what to add into my trailer. The start of the trailer starts off in a real happy way. I find this a really good technique because when you showcase the more frantic and actual horror scenes it will hit the audience more and may have more of a affect on them. So I believe contrast is a really big thing.

Conventions of Trailers

In this task I was asked too talk about the conventions of trailers. I have learnt a lot of different things from this task, I learnt all the main conventions that should be included in horror films for example voiceovers and showing your lead actor/actress. I will definetly be using some of these conventions in my trailer I create. In my trailer, I now want to add voiceovers into my trailer, as I feel that it adds to the atmosphere of the film

Structure of Trailers

In this task I was asked too, look at the structure of trailers. The structure in a trailer consists of Opening, Build Up, Problems and Events. I will certainly be following this structure as it gives you the outline of where to put what.
