BLOGGER TEMPLATES AND TWITTER BACKGROUNDS »

Starting out...


Based on our previous reserch into trailers we understood what elements belong in horror trailers so this was a great start when my group sat down to discuss our ideas. we decided to split our ideas into sections, Plot, Name of the film, Settings, Characters, Shot types, marketing campaign, Sound (Primary and Secondary), props and costumes. This made it more organised therefore it was clearer and practical as we had many, many ideas.
As it stated in the exam breif we were to produce a trailer aimed for 15 olds, we went onto the British Board of Film Classification (BBF) website to look at the guidelines for a certificate 15 film.
As we had many ideas, we have various plot lines, for example at first we were set on having the teacher as the killer who kills his students but we found this was inappropriate as we didnt want to portray our teacher who was going to be featuring in the film as a pupil murderer. Also we had a story line that a girl was murdered on a school feild trip, this would have complications as to filming as we needed too many big props, for example a coach full of students, a country house ect.
We decided we wanted it to involve only students so our target audience could relate to it, therefore we settled for a geek who wanted to succeed in his education to kill his fellow pupils as they are preventing him from this. As well as this, the story line has an element of bullying which is a big issue within schools currently, therefore this is another aspect our target audience can relate to.
