Change of Title Font.

We decided as a group to change the font of the title, this was because we found that changing it made it clearer to see and had a better impact. The previous font was too small, and we were unable to change it to bold without distorting it, resulting in it looking completely different.

Script

We have decided that we would not need a voice over on the trailer. This is because the target audience is younger and fast paced current music would appeal more than a voice over as it may slow the idea behind the action down.

Final Decision on Genre and what I will include from my Research


After gathering all of our research we came to the decision that the classification of our trailer would be a 12 as very little evidence of violence, it is also a more masculine based trailer with the amount in the screen time given to males in the trailer, however the film itself if it was to be made may have some female screen time in it. The genre of the trailer is Sci-fi Action Thriller, we came to this decision as it is based on something that is not technologically real – a phone that can teleport people, it is also very action constructed, in that there are a lot of chase scenes in which the main character is shown being chased by a group of males. The Thriller element comes from the unforeseen future and not knowing what is going to happen next, leaving the audience to wonder about what could happen. We decided that we would take from research of our trailers the gradual build up of action, give the main character more screen time and allow institutional information and the release date at the end. From my poster research I have decided that I will use a similiar layout to that of jumper, which is very minimalistic and has an image of a silhouette with a tagline and very little institutional information. From my Magazine Front Cover research I have decided that I will also have a similiar layout to the film magazine Total Film, it has the title at the top of the page, an image of the main character of the film and the articles down the right hand side in an easy to read format.

Props

For our trailer we decided to dress the main characters which are male in smart suits, this was to create a male with aspirational traits that males will acknowledge, we also used a reasonably attractive male to also make females interested in the film. We wanted to create a feeling of a smart, proffesional and intellectual character which will reflect on the audience to use their intellect and work out the plot of the film.

Filming issues 2.

Another issue arose when filming when one of our group members was ill and unable to film, we then had to find someone to replace them so that we could have photos taken of us filming.
