For our A2 coursework we have chosen to shoot a teaser trailer of a thriller style teen-drama. After much planning and discussion we have settled on the basic plot of "girl meets guy but discovers he's not all he seems to be." Having settled on the title "Runaway" we had originally planned to have our trailer as short as possible, consisting of simple shots of a teenage girl packing a rucksack. We have learnt from our work last year that it is best to keep the construction of the footage simple and make it more interesting through the way in which we edit our filming together, this will hopefully overcome the aspects of last years piece, which were perhaps, not so successful. After further discussion however, we decided to expand upon the trailer to reveal more of the story line. We have composed story boards and sketches of what we are hoping each take will look like, and have researched films of similar story lines and genres in the hope of expanding our background knowledge.
One film we were particularly interested in was "Sleeping with the enemy" which follows the basic plot of our planned film, meaning the impact of the trailer would be similar.
Purely for composition of shots in the first few seconds of the trailer, with the captions interlinked, we have also studied the trailer of "Centre Stage" and hope to incorporate some similar editing into our teaser, as we believe it is very effective.
These trailers can be found in the links below:
