IF we had an unlimited budget

If our company had an unlimited budget to the making of our film, we would have an idea of exactly who we would cast and why. This is a good idea for us as a smaller scale company to consider because it will allow us to picture exactly who we want. We can then cast alongside these making sure we as casting directors get the appropriate actors.

Casting

 The casting process is always very stressful for both the company and the actors as it is very important you get the 'right' people to play the part, if they do not look the part the film will not have the effect intended. These people have not only got to look the part but it is important that they have talent in performing and can act. If they cannot they will play the part effectively or how we as a company intend. 
When choosing it is essential for us to get their contact details to arrange the time and meeting places for filming days, we cannot hire any one that does not turn up to rehearsals or filming, this could possibly ruin the films quality because time for editing will be cut. We have already decided on the earlier post of what we are expecting each character to look like and so we have an idea of what sort of people we would like to cast.
Therefore, within the casting process  it is important for us to take into consideration the following aspects about each artist and auditionee:

  • Looks
  • Age
  • Style
  • Gender
  • Hair Colour
  • Wage
  • Weight 
  • Ability 
  • Versatility
  • Voice
  • Reliability

Introduction to all Characters & our expectations for casting

Here is an introduction to all the main characters in our film.

Thinking of Trailer Shot ideas

In this blog post, both Marcia and I sat down together to discuss the possible shot ideas, we will want to include within our trailer. This will help us with casting as well as getting appropriate costumes and props. Both is the picture of the sheet in which we jotted down the sequence of our shots. This will help   us to create a storyboard for our trailer further on in the planning process.

Logline Ideas

A Logline

What is a Log-line?

A Log-line is a short summary of your film. It is a short sentence in which tells you what the film is about and helps the audience see if they will be interested or not therefore. Therefore it is a vital sentence to get right in order to gain a wider audience and should interest people to watch the movie.
A Log -line is needed for film producers because it sells the film to the target audience and could possibly widen the audience members.



How are we to target this audience?



Immaterial Girl's Target Audience

The target audience for our film will be young Females under the age of 18. However, we will also try to include other audiences within our targeting because this will allow our audience to widen, creating more viewers and profit for us as a company.

General Target Audience: FEMALES 

Specific Target Audience: YOUNG FEMALES (15-25)

Film Audience Research


This can be found on the BMFI website in their 2012 statistical yearbook. It analyses how many people from different age groups attend the cinema to watch a film. Our trailer will be previewed at cinemas in order to widen audiences and let the film be known of. Without this advertisement from our trailer, the film will not have an audience.
This photo shows that 15-24 year olds are most likely to go to the cinema. Therefore our trailer and film should be targeting the younger generation. Evidently if 15-24 year olds attend the cinema more often, they are most likely to be the viewers of the trailers. Therefore it would be more beneficial for us to target the teenage generation in order to guarantee ourselves an audience.

What is a Target Audience?

A Film audience is simply the type of people who are going to watch the film and these is visible for every film. However, although the view is mostly watched by the targeted audience most definitely you also get people outside of the target audience range who also view the film.
A films visual interpretation attracts its targets audience because of the way the producers have made the film 'look'. Colours and in particularly the name of the film will be targeted at different types of audiences. For example, Romantic Films are aimed at women in particular and especially young teenage girls with the idea of bright, happy colours; however in comparison an action film is targeted specifically at men because of the stereotypical fighting and deaths that occur within them.
Categorizing a film bases the film on the stereotypical factors of that certain type of people, however the film industry will include factors that attract different audiences in to widen their audience amount.

Initial Ideas: Thoughts

Chosen Genre Mood-Board


I decided to create and research more into a Romantic Drama because my research into genres did not match the one we chose for our final film. The reason we chose this genre was because we liked both aspects from the Romantic-Comedy genre and the drama. The comedy would be very hard for us to portray but the romance we were interested in with twisting plots with a dramatic intention.
From this Mood-Board I researched into what are the main features of a Romantic-Drama film. I looked at films on the market already as well as some of the symbols stereotyped with a Romantic-Drama. Therefore for the dramatic side their could be twists such as car crashes, floods, hurricanes, tornados or even plane crashes. But these are juxtaposed with an emerging romantic chemistry emerging between characters which alert an audience to the dramatic event.

Initial Ideas: Idea 3

IDEA 3 

After a late night out with her friends, getting drunk and joking around a young girl hurls a taxi down. As she stumbles about in her stiletto heels she falls off the side of the pavement, into the road. Being knocked down by a car.
She finally comes around in the the hospital after months and months of being in and out of consciousness. The family are over joyed with happiness, with greetings from her husband, sister, mum and dad. However, there is one problem. She cannot remember most of her life, her only recognition from life is her life when she was 18 and under. She remembers certain names of girl friends she was so close to and unfortunately she does not remembering even meeting her 'husband' let alone marrying him. The family do not understand and the hospital fill them in in the life threatening brain injury she has suffered. Her husband agrees to take her home to 'their' home. When she enters she sees pictures of her self, happy and overjoyed. This hints her and the frustration of not being able to remember things. She uses her phone to text a friend she remembered, not knowing that she had fallen out with her years ago. As the film goes on she agrees with her husband it will be better to stay at her family home where she remembers familiar faces. She begins going for a coffee every morning before work and spends more and more time with this man who also does the same. The story begins to conclude as she falls in love with this mystery man, and out of love with her husband. The divorce as she agrees she does not remember every loving him, her family force her to stay with him in the hope she may remember everything however, she thinks it will be better for her to create a new life. She ends up being friends with both her new girlfriends she had made in her unremembered life as well as those she had lost contacts with for so many years whilst she'd been married. After she begins to start a new life with her new boyfriend she finds out she suffers major stomach cramps. As she is rushed to hospital she is told that she has been pregnant this whole time and because of the crash the baby is due and could be serverly disabled. This baby is her and her husbands. The baby is born and put straight onto life support. Fortunately the baby lives and she falls back into love with her husband, her boyfriend disappears of sight and the family settle down to recreate their past life together.

IDEA 2 

A high powered lawyer is living her life to the max when one day a simple mistake sees her whole life shattered before her eyes. As she goes about her normal routine one day at work she realises a mistake on the system, an error that could cause the whole company to go bust. She tells many people about the error and insists they find out who has caused the problem. When she returns to her own desk she flicks through all her documents, then suddenly it comes to her she has missed a file out. If she hadn't of missed the file out the mistake would not have happened. She sees it as all her fault. Out of horror she sends an e-mail to the boss to explain what she has done, gets up and leaves the office. She returns home collects a few stuff and decides that no one will want to know her anymore, not even her boyfriend who is the bosses PA. She leaves on a train to nowhere, not knowing when she will return or where she will end up. She gets off the train in the countryside, walking miles and miles up a long road past several houses. As she starts to lose her patience finding a hotel; she is now starting to get bursting for the toilet. She knocks on the door of a house, and politely starts to ask if she would be able to use their toilet. However, the couple at the door are also expecting the arrival of a young woman. They automatically assume she is the woman they have been waiting for and show no interest in what she is saying. They greet her and ask her inside. She explains that all she wants is to use the toilet but they are too engrossed in talking about a housekeeper they have been expecting and it suddenly dawns on her that they are thinking she is their newest housekeeper. With no energy to argue they show her the house and her room.

Her conscience beats her heart that tells her to go home and stop being stupid, but she thinks that in the morning she will explain but for tonight she will sleep her. So she does so. Waking up the next morning to a whole new life, she agrees for maybe the next week she will pretend to be the housekeeper whilst she decides what to do with her life. This then leads to months, she knows not how to cook or to wash or even how to make a bed. She has to learn. The couple have a son who lives in the house, who she starts to spend quite a lot of time. She has no contact with her life at home so sees herself as a new single woman. She starts to realize she might be falling in love with him. On her mothers birthday she decides it is only polite enough for her to ring her so she does. Having access to 100000 of emails, text messages and missed calls. On the phone her mum explains how stupid she has been, asks her what she is doing, but explains that the company realized that the mistake she did was because of someone else in the office not her. She would never of been asked to leave because it wasn't her fault. She sees her old life in a new life and tells the son. He goes mental at her for lying and cheating his whole family. He chucks her out and tells her he never wants to see her again. When she returns home she realises how happy she had become in her knew life. As a result returns at the end and apologises to all she has hurt.

Evaluation of Mood-Board 3

By looking at drama films the footage is all of a mixture of colours to represent that the drama involves lots of different factors. The dark colours represent the danger the drama could cause and the light colours show what outcomes the drama has on people. Castings are normally male and female with male actors being the protagonist saviours/heroes.

In my opinion I think me and marcia could recreate a dramatic film trailer to some standard. However, the most dramatic hollywood box office film involve stabbing, shootings and car crashes, for us this would be impossible to create with the equipment we have at school. We may look into combining the dramatic genre with another though.

Mood-Board 3 of a genre

DRAMA FILM GENRE MOOD-BOARD

I have gathered some research and information into the genre of a Drama film. The mood-board relates to all films that are classed under the 'drama' genre category where something happens to cause another character upset or danger.


Evaluation of Mood-Board 2

I have looked and created the Mood-Board for Romantic Comedy films. The films are mostly centered around 2 main protagonists; one female and one male, who eventually fall in love.  The movies have colours of pink and red that relate or provide a hint of romance. However, the comedy element is sown by the characters relationships. On film posters they are laughing or have a gesture that suggests humour.

In my opinion I feel as if Marcia and I would be able to recreate a trailer for a possible romantic comedy. This is because the characters involve people who we could already cast. The shot would need to show both romance as well as humour. The colours used for mise-en-scene are simple, eye-catching and relevant to the films. The genre could be portrayed very easily through the trailer if we cast the right people and include the right shots from the film.

Mood-Board 2 of a genre

Finally I have decided to explore the Romantic Comedy genre. From looking at different film posters I have been influence into the colours, characters and stories that are used.


Evaluation of Mood-Board 1

When looking at the different looks of horror movies it is obvious the are all intended to scare an audience. This is obvious because of the use of their dark colours. dark signifying the unknown and mystery which may scare and freak out audience members. A lot of red is used within the films to represent blood suggesting possible death, murders and gruesome injuries.
Characters that are used every day people to affect the audience more because they can imagine themselves in the characters shoes. They also include other characters that may not be real. for example a monster, clown or scary toy.

In my opinion I think it would be very hard for Marcia and I to recreate a horror movie trailer. This is because the intention is so strong. It must make the audience feel scared and create tension. The colours, costumes and shoots must be done to an extent that it will make the audience know the film will be scary and gruesome. It would be hard to make the trailer look realistic with people in danger and  getting killed etc.

Mood-Board 1 of a genre

HORROR GENRE MOOD-BOARD

For this post I have gathered a number of different images that put together the look and feel of a horror film. This will give me information into what a horror movie would look like and be about.



What is a genre?

A GENRE IS THE CATEGORY THAT A CERTAIN FILM, STORY OR BOOK WILL BE CATEGORIZED WITHIN. THE STORIES WILL ALL HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON AND THEREFORE BE CLASSED WITHIN A CERTAIN GENRE CATEGORY. 

For example; Romantic Comedy genre films will all have a theme of love and humour with in the.

Remake of Hulk trailer


TASK recreating a trailer

TASK

My next task has been to recreate a trailer that is present within the industry. I have searched around at many different trailers and come to a conclusion. I have decided that I create a teaser trailer because my cast will have to be kept to a minimum. This because I want to film it this weekend (which is short notice to ask for actors) and have it edited by next so I can get on to creating my own film trailer. Therefore, I have chosen to recreate the teaser trailer for the Hulk, previewed in 2003. The film I aim to recreate is previewed below. 



This trailer involves one actor but a series of different shots. The trailer uses a lot of edit and to make this easier for myself i have come up to a conclusion myself, as the director. The house that has to get smashed at the end will obviously be hard to do. Therefore, I have decided upon using a toy house which I can then kick over at the end of the filming, to represent the Hulk who is evidently destroying the house with his strength and anger. The way the actor turns from skin colour to bright green will be don gradually using green face paint. 

ACTOR:
I have managed to cast my actor to play 'Hulk'. Casting your film is a very important part of the film production because it can target a range of different audiences. In this trailer the actor is a young man, who looks innocent and nice, which then differences with his later appearance as a Hulk. 
Therefore I have chosen upon using the following male as my actor...

Name: Lee Brewer
Age: 18

What is a film poster?

A Film poster is the poster, which is designed to advertise the companies film. The Poster should advertise the release of the film and attract audiences to want to come and watch it. The posters normally convey the genre of the film and have some introduction to the characters. The poster should make the film's name title visible for audiences to remember. Film posters could also include short slogans that advertise the story-line of the film to again attract its target audience. Film posters should be displayed where they can be seen and heard of by the public, for example the cinema normally have film posters situated outside. These posters are of films coming into and currently playing at the particular cinema.

LAST VEGAS TEASER TRAILER





The beginning shot divides the screen into three, introducing the audience to the three main characters. They are of similar importance wthin the film but the shot that the other man gets alone shows he is more important within the films story-line.
The music that plays is quite modern and street like, juxstaposing the slightly older generation which were seen as main characters at the beginning. This could therefore hint at the films genre to be of a comedy. This music links then to the scene of a party/rave, where it is full of young people and then the elderly men also attend. Reinforcing the comedy side to the film. The trailer also then shows quick shots of the men up against a young boy, hinting that they will also appear within the film. The man speaks 'we shall party like its 1979' after these photos are shown showing that the men are to relive their  childhood. The company has chosen deliberately to show the man getting pushed into the pool to target their target audience to adults who may enjoy humour and comedy within a film. The male audience have also been tackled to target by the campany by the shown scene of young females.
At the end of the trailer they have put the title reading 'it's going to be legendary' which targets the audience and attracts them to come and watch the film.

Teaser Trailer


AURORA : Theatrical Trailer



Aurora's film trailer is a teaser trailer. It is only 1.18 minutes long and begins with the introduction to the company who have produced and made the film. When the trailer is played also dramatic music is played, to create a dramatic and adventurous feel to the film. It introduces the film to its genre as a drama or adventure because the music suggests that something will happen. The music creates suspension from the beginning and the weather shown in the clips also again hints at the genre. Attracting the companies target audience. The thunder and rain also hint at the trouble that may occur in the film an how someone may end in danger. Each scene which is played is of dark and grey colours, which reinforces the idea of a dramatic film which leads people into danger.
We also see the fantasy side to the film with the sound of robots at the beginning. These sounds are purposely played at the beginning of the trailer so that we as an audience watch on to see wether or not these sounds were coming from real robots or the humans within the film. Later on we are then shown several shots and scenes that include rather large machinery and robots. The trailer also introduces the audience to the place the film is set in. This is done within a 3 second shot of the famous New York landscape.
This trailer introduces the audience to three characters, focusing mainly on a girl and a boy, questioning the idea of romance within the film. Titles are played at the end of the trailer, to each title there is an added sound effect of a 'BOOM' an addition to the dramatic, adventurous style of the film.

Theatrical Trailer

Insidious Chapter 2: (Theatrical Trailer)



This theatrical trailer begins with sad music making it sound like something bad will occur in the film which may possibly evoke emotion. However, this music also sounds quite child-like, and then later on within the trailer in several film scenes shown their is a cradle twinkling sound. This shows not only that the danger would/could involve a young child but that sound is also linked to horror and scare. The first title we are shown is 'IT BEGAN TWO YEARS AGO' already providing us with the information that the film will be set in the past or include a possible flashback'. The event being referred to as an 'IT' also suggests that it is something negative and not liked to be remembered. The scenes that are cut together mostly show the woman as scared suggesting this film is a horror and to be scary. The music also adds to the effect and creates a nervous atmosphere for the audience.
Each shot is shown cleverly, by the chronological look of the trailer. At the beginning we see a happy family and learn that 'nothing will hurt them now' showing they have had possible problems in the past. As the trailer goes on we are introduced to the scary, horror side of the film. We see scenes where the women is getting scared, the music turns more threatening and spooky, as well as this scenes begin to include skull heads and games associated with witchcraft and ghosts. This makes the audience want to watch the film because we want to find out what happens to the family and how they overcome their problems. At the end the scenes cut more into each other and are played more quickly. The scenes overlap each other to show the tension building in the film and characters. The title of the film is introduced to us at the end so it stays in the audience mind and it is known by all. 

Theatrical Trailer


Monsters University



This trailer is the theatrical trailer for Monsters Inc University. The trailer is relatively long, running at a full 2 minutes and 30 seconds. It provides an introduction to mostly all characters, especially the main characters Sully and Mike. A mix up of scenes are shown from the film and it is not in the order they would be shown in. The trailer provides a short understanding at what the film is about and it's plot. It has a change of music and shows a twist in the story but not how it is resolved. This is made for the purpose of audiences because they will then want to watch it to see what happens. The trailer involves several slides of just text which make the film sound exciting and adventurous, making the audience want to watch the film even more. At the end of the trailer they show is release date so that the audience  can plan to go and see it. This is mostly always put at the end of a theatrical trailer so that  the audiences watch the full trailer to find out when it comes out. The trailer also involves many humorous scenes to show entertainment and let the audience know that they will enjoy the film.

Trailer Research

Safe Haven



The sound and music aspects of this trailer apply very much to the genre of the film. The music played in the background of most of the scenes are romantic and calming, suggesting the film will have elements of romance and drama involved. There is no narration to the trailer to explain what will happen in the film but however there is the speech of dialogue between characters, the dialogue subjects changes as it differs from scene to scene. These pieces of dialogue create the stories plot for example "i've had things happen to me in the past" this suggests a dramatic twist to the film, attracting the audience to come and watch the film to find out the twist. 

The characters chosen for introduction within the trailer is mainly a man and woman. This not only introduces the main characters and therefore could widen the audience to both genders, but it also hints at the films plot line. The suggestion of romance will attract the films specific target audience. There is also an introduction to an unknown character who they refer to as 'he'. This creates suspense and tension for the viewers and will again attract the audience to view the film. This is because it shows an obstacle in their relationship, making the viewers want to know more about this man and why he is so heard about and scary.

The dark clothes the girl wears at the beginning of the piece when she is alone juxstaposes with the lightly colours bright clothing she wears when around and in contact with the man. This again could hint at the genre to the piece showing that she is happier when with him, making an audience want to know why she was unhappy and upset beforehand. 

The titles within the piece also have a significance; The trailer beginnings with the introduction to the title of the film "SAFE HAVEN FROM NICOLAS SPARKS BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF THE NOTEBOOK AND DEAR JOHN" this directs all readers of Nicolas Sparks and so targets their audiences. The best selling also will attract viewers because they known the story-line to the piece is voted very high by others. "THIS FEBRUARY" allows audience to remember to go and see the film when it comes out. At the end of the trailer again the title of the film is shown so it is known to the audience and they remember the name clearly. It also repeats again that it will be around for showing in February.

What is a theatrical trailer?



I think that the idea of a theatrical trailer is very successful because it makes the film known about and so audiences can acknowledge that they may want to go and see the movie. With the release dates being visible the target audience can then arrange to go and watch it. A theatrical trailer will target its target audience as well as widen it because it will tell more of the story and so the audience are allowed to know more about it and decide wether or not they may want to go and watch the film.
I find that the titles on the trailer allows an audience member to acknowledge that I will want to see it. However, a theatrical trailer mustn't reveal too much of the story-line because otherwise the drama and twists will be ruined and so the audience may feel as if they have already seen the film and so wouldn't want to go and watch it in the cinema. Therefore film companies should be very clever with the shots and scenes that they present within their theatrical trailers because they want to make sure they are steal capturing the audiences attention and anticipation.

What is a teaser trailer?

What is a teaser trailer?


I think the idea of a teaser trailer is very good for the film company and its popularity. I would say that teaser trailers do increase the audiences for films because they make the film known and heard about long before it is released. However, if the trailer produces no excitement but flashes some shots of the film this could make the film look boring and so decrease its predicted audience. A teaser trailer therefore is only successful if it shows drama and excitement within the film shots because with out this the film could be portrayed differently than expected.

Pitch Perfect


 
    The sound at the beginning is loud and dramatic, bringing attraction to the trailer from the very beginning. The first speech we hear is 'university' and so we are introduced to the fact that the plot is set in university and college so therefore we apply to teenagers and students mainly. The music is played through the background of the whole piece to add an exciting effect to the trailer and therefore the film. The music played is also the characters singing introducing the fact that the film revolves mainly around singing. Modern music is also played throughout to attract the films target audiences of teenagers The mix of different genres of songs also then widens the audience. This also makes the film sound exciting and entertaining attracting to audience members. The use of well known songs such as 'Mickey your so fine' is used in order to stick in the audiences minds because it is so catchy, they will therefore remember this trailer and the film itself.

The costumes hint at the films story-line because the character is shown in her own clothes to then in a uniform with a group of people. Suggesting they are a professional team, showing that she joins the singing group after joining the university. The make up used on characters isn't too much and applies to teenagers in the modern age, attracting their target audience. We are also introduced to 'Fat Amy' several times through the trailer so it is memorable for the audiences. The props used show the setting, yellow taxis are shown to show that the film is set in America and so may appeal to an american audience as well. Stages, microphones and all props to do with singing and the theatre are used to reinforce the idea that the film is about a theatre group.

The characters are all introduced too through this trailer. The casting of both male and female young people would allow both genders to be attracted as audience members to the film. There is no voice over for the trailer but however we are taken through a journey by the use of the different dialogue. This therefore allows the audience to figure wether or not they will enjoy the film. The film title is shown so the audience know what the film is called and it is now heard of. At the end of the trailer the title 'Coming Soon' is shown creating suspense for the audience and so that they can remember to go and see it at the cinema.

What is a Trailer?

What is a trailer?

It should introduce the actors and actresses involved as well as name the film. Movie trailers have now been put onto DVD and Blu-ray discs as well as on the internet and mobile devices, this is done for even more advertisement of a particular film. A Trailer has to attract the audience in no more than 2 and a half minutes which is the maximum length for a trailer allowed by the Motion Picture Association of America.
