Synopsis

For my A2 coursework I have decided to create my own film trailer with a partner in my class- Priscilla. In correspondence with the people we have available and also the types of settings which are accessible we decided to go for a drama. Set in Thamesmead which is local to the both of us. I know that this is an area that has a number of films and series shot there. We have also decieded to base it on a true story.

Starting the planing process we looked a trailers that fitted the genre of  what we were trying to create, from this we could use techniques used in the watched trailers such as the type of colours, theme of music and shots. We looked at the following: Kidulthood, Anuvahood and Shank.
   Out of three I did prefer Skank, I found that it was doable. The action was very fast and fitted well with the sound track and worked effectively as a selling product. Kidulthood and Anuvahood required a script and ensuring that people featured in the trailer could act the set appropriately. In the case of these two trailers the words used are selling the film. Throughout the planning process we will be looking at trailers like these in more detail.

                     Many of our trailer conventions will come from this particular trailer.

To futher help with the planning of the trailer as a group we created a mind map to get all our ideas down which will develop throughout the process:
