Initial Ideas





I used images found in magazines for my moodboards. For the costume i stuck to dark, smart clothing as this is what you are most likely to see in a thriller film. The props that will be used in my film trailer will be gadgets such as ipods and mobile phones and also cars. I also found possible make up i could use on female actors, this is also dark but effective as it makes them look more suspicious and questionable. I also described what my film will be like using words such as 'smart' which is how the actors will be dressed and how they act, this suggests that they will be respectable and can be relied on. The image used on the second moodboard shows a girl smartly dressed but slightly hidden by shadows, this image is what i want my trailer to be like - you can't see everything which leaves the audience guessing.


You have 1 lesson to complete blog post 7. Here you should create a moodboard and initial sketches that outlines ideas following your genre and textual research. This could be split in the following way; 

1. A Mood board (cut and stick & hand drawn) of costume, prop, location, character type ideas - fully utilising the genres repertoire and findings from your textual research. 
2. A short paragraph to support your mood board. 
3. A timeline of the entire film outlining what happens in the beginning, middle and end. This could be handdrawn and scanned in with a short synopsis underneath (paragraph). The timeline will enable you to select sections of the film that can be showcased in your teaser trailer. Remember the trailer will in no way give away any form of plot ending!! 

This should only take an hour of lesson time and an hour of homework time.
