A2 media teaser trailer

Mark Chapman, Louise Chambers, Harry Erskine and Emily.

Genre

• Our film is a thriller/horror genre. In our trailer we will not release many indications for the plot, but it will be based on introducing the main characters, and showing the audience the atmosphere of the film.

• Our trailer will be a fast montage of many short clips of the film, and then we will edited them together in a specific order.

Characters• using masks to cover identity which creates a sense of mystery and fear. Allows us to use

more characters but the same actor, the mask allows us to not bother with make-up or editing some ones face to make them look scary.

• In our film there will be a main star which is the victim of the trailer. The other characters included in the scene will be masked characters. Using masked characters with their identities not being known will create a thriller atmosphere. Creating this atmosphere in the trailer will attract audiences to watch the whole film. By using masked characters, it allows us to use have more characters by using the same actor, however to create more fear we will use several actors with several masks. By using masks it will save us time in the editing process, and in the preparation process because it will mean that time will not be wasted before hand, as the masks do not need to be edited/made.

Posters

• As there are many inspiration films, the majority of them also have a poster to promote them in locations, therefore for each film that inspired us will be able to give us a guide of how to make our poster; some ideas will be colour schemes, layout, font, main image and whether we include the release date or not.

MagazinesFor our magazine cover, this is where we will suffer due to the fact that not many horror/thrillers feature as the main cover on magazines, therefore this restricts us how many examples we can use. However, we will research into this further, and combine the many techniques that magazines use when promoting horror/thriller films.

The types of branding we will use for our trend between products will be; the title, the main image of our film (which will be captured when filming), the colour scheme and the production company.
