First Draft - Mock Exam

This is the first draft of my film trailer.
During the phone call scene I still have parts to film for between the scenes (similar to how I show the character of Tyler when he is mentioned)

Animatic

Messages to cast

I often sent messages to the cast to arrange filming dates and locations.

Final Cut Pro Tutorials

Costume

My costume ideas are for my actors to wear regular clothing as it is a teen murder mystery therefore my target audience will relate more to my characters.

I will have my antagonist wearing gloves as it adds a sense of mystery as for the most part of my trailer the only part of the antagonist we see is their hands.

Storyboard

As I am doing a film trailer I am planning to storyboard all the scenes separately before putting them in an order.

Props

Jewellery box
Doll
Glove
Mobile Phones
Laptop/Computer

-Adding more as filming and story boarding continues-

Films such as the movie shank

I have found it difficult to link films to the other demographics due to the fact films can appeal to a variety of different classes unlike music which is stereo typically linked to one class.

It is important to understand demographics to be able to understand the target audience of a product and be able to direct the product towards them, the ideology of the trailer has to reflect the target audience's ideology so they are able to relate to the trailer.

Currently the industry advertises films through the use of television, youtube, cinema trailers.
