This document outlines three potential ideas for a movie trailer: a horror story, a romantic comedy, and an action/comedy. The author initially considers a horror idea about a family visiting an isolated hotel but decides against it for being boring and difficult to edit. A romantic comedy idea about reconnecting with a high school crush is also passed over due to its complex storyline and characters. The author ultimately chooses an action/comedy idea about two police officers working to rescue the chief's kidnapped daughter, believing it has the right balance of excitement and humor while also being achievable within the constraints of the project. A poll of peers in the target age group supported this decision as the most interesting concept.
2. First Idea-Horror
This was the first idea I thought of when choosing the
appropriate genre, I decided this because I had number of
ideas into how I can create a successful horror trailer, my first
thoughts where that the ideas required by a horror trailer
where not difficult to collaborate, also I think that various age
groups would be interested
Plan- A family of four decided to go away for the weekend at
this place where the father was told that it’s a great place for
families, little did they know, that it was an isolated place
where you are unlikely to see any visitors, when they arrived
they can feel the tense atmosphere, the door of the hotel was
covered in blood , but they continued to go, as they opened
the creaky door, it was evident that not many people would
come to visit, at the receptionist they stood gazing around
this spooky place
3. Reasons why I didn’t choose this idea
I decided against this idea as it didn’t appeal or interest
me. The storyline itself is rather boring and would not
draw attention to its target audience, also the editing
techniques involved within the trailer will be difficult to
create as it the cuts happen within seconds, moreover
the trailer itself is easy to create.
Characters-3- 6, including two spirit
Possible film name: Haunted mansion
Setting :Grace academy Darlaston
4. Second idea- romantic comedy
For my second idea I thought of romantic comedy as I
had some interest within the genre itself.
Plan-A man gets a chance to meet up with his dream girl
from highschool, even though his date with her back
then was a complete disaster.
They where both in lessons together, however she did
not know that he had a massive crush over her, he
always tried things to get closer , but she was a popular
girl within the class, so all boys had a crush on her, but
he was not willing to give up.
5. Reasons why I did not choose this
idea
decided against this idea as it involves a huge storyline
with a range of characters, therefore I am unable to
create a trailer where I have not got the right amount of
characters to produce a successful trailer, due to these
factors I am impotent to produce a trailer of that calibre,
Furthermore due to it involving two characters who are in
love, I cannot produce a task which my characters are
not comfortable in doing.
Characters 5-6
Possible name of trailer :True Love
Setting:Grace academy Darlaston
6. Third Idea- action/comedy
For my third idea I thought of action /comedy this is due to the
fact that I enjoy watching movies of this type. It shows to sides
of a movie, one side being very funny and the other being
serious, this is the reason I chose this idea as it would interest
the viewers.I believe this trailer would have a lot of interest as it
creates suspense and thrill.
Plan- Two police officers team up to get back a kidnapped
daughter.
The triads have kidnapped the chiefs daughter and the two cops
are on the mission to getting her back
Characters 3-6,Detective bahia, Detective ken, Mr lunn
Possible names of trailer, Dynamic Duo
Setting: Grace academy Darlaston
7. Reasons why I chose this Idea
My final decision was action/ comedy , I
believe this genre is something that I believe I
can create, it is exciting and funny at the same
times, at times it will you jump out your sits
and it will be a movie which you are unable to
forget.I also believe that I have the appropriate
characters who can produce scenes of a high
standard
8. Possible trailer
I have reviewed all the feedback, to find out which genre I
should create, I used the same age group as myself to find
out which is most popular, I chose this age group as they will
be the main target audience and would have more input into
which they find most interesting, by conducting a poll, it
allowed me find out about other peoples interest and which
they find more exciting to watch. I have collected all the polls
and added the total, below are the figures
Trailer 1-5
Trailer 2 -6
Trailer 3 -9
As you can see the figures show that trailer 3 was the genre
with the most interest, they wanted find out if the detectives
managed to get back the kidnapped daughter.
