Lets get thinking
- 2. Why would someone want to go and watch your film? • My film has interest as it links with an existing ‘myth’ • The attraction of not really knowing what will happen will make people want to see it to find out • The story line is in depth enough to create interest but not to confusing to put people off
- 3. Who are the target audience and how will you attract them? • Our target audience are 16-25. the reason for this is that most people of this age bracket have heard of the ‘Slender’ myth and will be interested enough to view it • By using a type of narrative that will intrigue our target audience we will get them to watch the film
- 4. What is the USP of your film and why? • The USP of my film is its plot line. It is based on the ‘Slender’ myth, there is no film out there with this factor it has a unique audience attraction that will bring in audiences
- 5. How will you have evidence of a variety of shot types, camera movement, editing and transitions? • We have planed specific shots due to our location as well as on the tone we wish to portray. • Our location allows for some interesting and dramatic shots that will increase the feeling of ‘being watched’
- 6. How does the music you have/will create match the genre? • On our team Tom has the ability to create and produce an effective sound tract to run along with our trailer footage. • The sounds he will use will mirror the information we got from our audience feedback, we will use strings as well as low drum beats to create tension and fear corresponding with our chosen genre
- 7. Will you challenge conventions at all with your trailer? How? • We aim to work with several general horror conventions, for example not showing the full threat and using darkness and shadow. • However we also wish to create our own take on a horror adding in our own tone. To do this we will use shots and angles in a particularly jumpy and erratic way to create the jumpy tone.
- 8. How will the trailer fulfil audience expectations/follow the conventions of a trailer? • We will use our audience feedback to influence how we create our trailer in order to fulfil audience expectations • The setting, tone, narrative and music will all fulfil this
- 9. Does it follow Todorov’s Narrative? • Yes it does, there is a calm start then there is the introduction of a danger and they work together to put it right. Obviously this is not all shown fully in the trailer as this would show the narrative in to clear a way • We do not want to give to much away of the story line
- 10. Do you have any of Propp’s character profiles in the trailer? • We do have some of the character types indicated by Propp or at least a variation on it • We will use characters such as the hero and the villain but we do not want this to be simple obvious characters there should be more than one layer to it
