Script for Voiceover

so for my trailer my voiceover needs to be scripted, i probably have more than i need here but it's better to record more and just not use stuff than not having stuff you need

Script for voiceover

a great man once said, a lawyer with his briefcase can steal more than a hundred men with guns, he was almost correct, really one con man can steal more than an entire army of lawyers

the team leader, has to have control, has to be cool, has to look the part but most importantly he needs his team

this guy right here, he's the front man, he gets the documents and does the most face to face con work, he need to look suave and sophisticated.

This guy is the deciever, he needs fast hands and a steady mind, needs to be appear calm and collected, so when the chips are down and your hand is shown, he can really rake in the money

together they become one money making machine

starring 5 times award winner Conner Hughes

4 times award winner Liam Clements

and young actor of the year Owen Smith

problem is though as the stakes get higher, enemies are closer than they first appear to be.

Together they lie cheat and steal their way to success using manipulation, fraud, false identities, to fool thousands of people

lies

deceit

corruption

Props and other Equipment

so for the filming of my trailer i am going to need certain props and decide on a costume for my actors.

the costume for my actors will be very simple, a plain suite black or dark grey, as well as a pair of sunglasses and black ties

props:

• briefcase
• gun
• sunglasses
• newspaper 
• car x2 one striking/fast looking - the other dark preferably black

Storyboard draft 3

so i was looking at my first storyboard and i really wasn't happy with it, it was just too short so i looked at drafting a new one muddling things up a little and adding a few new ideas:

so here are the drafts for my magazine, the first was just a sort of rough guide that i used to establish where things should go from my research into magazine covers, and the second one is a more detailed version that establishes what pictures i want and the text in more detail

Poster Drafts

so this first draft was my original idea:

this second draft is my final one after i made changes to the first, the problem with the first one is i felt that it was the text that was the dominant feature not the actors, so i wanted to make the picture bigger than the text, the reason that i only chose one of the actors on the poster is that i thought it could work as a series, like other films where different actors appear on separate posters:

Locations

These are the locations that I have selected for my trailer what i needed was:

1. a pedestrian style walkway that has buildings on either side to give my trailer an urban look
2. an area with suitable seating 
3. bank branch
4. long straight road - dual carriageway

Treatment Sheet

Actors

ok so for my actors there was only really two people i had in mind for two of the roles, they are both Drama students so there acting skills are excellent and they do fit the bill rather well in terms of appearance:

the difficult decision for me was the third actor to appeal in my film, really in terms of looking the part i had two options:

In the end i went for this actor because he looked better in the sunglasses than the other option and the fact that he has more time available in the scheduled filming period

Media Questionnaire Results

Question 1

So out of those that replied 53.1% were male and 49% were female, so this tells me that my results are going to be for a trailer/magazine/poster that appeals more to men but not solely for men  

Question 2

The results tell me that my trailer/magazine/poster will appeal to the White British population

Question 3

the results of my questionnaire show that the trailer will appeal most to people aged from 16-20

Question 4

the results of this questionnaire show that the most popular genre is not really clear; comedy, action and thriller are popular but no genre really has an outright majority, therefore my trailer could be based on any genre.  

Question 5

The results of this question show me that most people only watch TV for 1-3 hours a week, so my trailer will have to be played during the most popular TV shows at peak times in order to get noticed and talked about, I realise that this would be ideal for every single piece of advertising ever but this is particularly important for my trailer but because my target audience don't all watch lots of TV they may miss the trailer and my film will suffer as a result.

Question 6

 The results of this questionnaire show me that my trailer should be placed during the most popular entertainment programmes and perhaps important sports games/competitions that would attract lots of viewers.

Qustion 7

the results of this question show me that people only go to the cinema about once a month, therefore this tells me that my film would either have to show so much popularity that I could bring it out during the peak time for films, or I would have to find a gap in the film calendar that no major films would be coming out, so that my film appealed more at that particular time.  

Question 8

these results show me that my trailer should focus on the stars in my movie, so focus on the actors that appear in the movie rather than the special effects or other features.

Question 9

the results of this question show me that people like to see a star studded cast and a hint at a detailed story line in the trailers.

Question 10

the results of this show me that most people find out about films through the trailer they see on TV
