Planning - Professioal Trailer Lengths

Shifty 1:49
Adulthood 1:39
Kidulthood 2:05
4.3.2.1 3:39
Harry Brown 1:59
This is England 2:26
Cass 2:08

These are the time lengths for the current trailers which i have previously researched. As you can see they range from 1 minute 39 seconds to 3:39 and obviously as these trailers are all from professional films then i feel i should follow the way they have advertised their film. I am aiming to complete my trailer between 2-3 minutes. I feel this is the perfect length to create a small snippet of a film and should just be long enough to making the audience want to see more.

Planning - Location Shots

These are a few location shots of where the new film trailer will be set.
As they are close by to my home it will give me plenty of chance to re-edit footage that may not have appeared the way I want them to.

This was one of the main change of location based on this matter. I feel i will be able to produce a much stronger piece from this.

Planning - Soundtrack

I feel that for my film trailer i will be using an instrumental soundtrack with out the use of lyrics.

I specificly looked at the composer Yann Tiersen and have looked at diffent pieces which he has composed. I specificlly like the track 'La Plage'. Also as i am planning on using the setting of a beach i feel this music is ideal as 'la plage' is french for 'the beach'.

Planning - Plot Drafts

Walking along beach variety of shots, female narrating over, shots of feet looking at different
typical british film looks at everyday british lifestyles.
Music plays with beach, then cuts out, goes to back black screen with writing of credit details, character looking at letter? (No speaking)
Then narrator kicks in saying the brief story line (TBC)
writing on typewriter - over shoulder shot showing elements of storyline on screen
Pan shots on cliffs panning around to look at beach

Planning - Genre

The genre of the film is of typical British Drama.

DVD Cover Research - Green Street

This is the DVD cover for the film Green Street which is of a football hooligansim genre which is clearly shown from the cover shown on the left. The cover itself has been converted to greyscale to show the mysterious characters and that they do something wrong and not following the law in the film. Because of this it appeals to many as they want to see this as many of these aevents are present in real life today. Obviously in the film these elemts are exxagerated but still it appeals to a wide audience who are into hooliganism, fighting films. The characters which are shown by a medium close up on their heads appear to be straightbacked and appear to not be moving. This creates a defence line or barrier which shows to us they plan to fight. This links with the caption 'Stand your ground and fight!' which is next shown in the lower image on the cover. The charactersd have all turned to boystrous males who appear to be in a gang/firm which may have just won a fight with another football teams firm. This is shown on the face of one of the characters who appears to have a bloody nose. As i have already said these events are of real life happenings and appeals to many so for this reason are present on the front cover. The only colour on the page comes from the title of the film which is a contrasting red to the background which stands out amongst the other areas.
