Planning

For the first part of my planning we did the synopsis of our trailer. We wrote it on A3 paper so we could all put across our ideas before finally agreeing on something. We found it quite easy to write this as we had a clear idea on what we would like to do. We had already decided on a genre (thriller) so to make up the trailer we just had to research more into thriller films to decided what kind of film we would make.

After that we made a basic story board on what we would like to happen in our trailer. However we feel that we will make many changes to this as it is only our first thought. Although it is only a basic plan I believe it will help us with our final idea and product as the key themes are in it, such as a girl going missing and the friends are the ones to save her.

The last bit of planning we did was to discuss the mise-en-scene of our trailer. Like the story board it was only a basic plan and is likely to change as we developed our idea. However the setting is something everyone agreed on and what would work well for out trailer, This is because dark, creepy alleyways is something that is used a lot in thriller films and it will be easy for us to film in one as there are loads around.
