Shot's for Trailer


This will be used for the opening of my Trailer. As it shows Esther finding the book and asking her mom what it is. I wont use the whole scene for the trailer. However i think it has good shots.



This is another part of my Trailer, Where Esther is on the phone to Gemma telling her about this book. I again wont use this whole scene, but i think it will look good in a montage or a small part of the beginning of the trailer.
(This is two separate scene's. The fade to black shows when one ends and a new one starts.)








This is the ending of my trailer. I've edited it and added inter-titles. 
I will use this in my trailer.





I've also taken extra shots of friends talking to Esther about either the book or her life in general. This is taken with one of Esther's friends Kate, who is a lot more mature than Esther. I will most likely use these two clips in my trailer.





I wanted some shots of Esther's friends shouting at her because of the book. I will use some of these as voice overs and some as normal shots.





One main shot i will use towards the end of my trailer is a scene between Esther and her boyfriend Cameron. This is before he beats her but this wont be obvious in the trailer to keep suspense. I want to edit his swearing out however not re-film as i want it to be shocking and also show the audience my film is intense and links to the age restriction of 15.





Script

I don't want loads of dialogue in my trailer for two reasons. 1. so i can have a voice over and 2. also so i can have music in the background.



Script for trailer:
Shots of Esther finding the book, Cuts to inter-titles.
Cuts to Esther and her mom
Esther - "Mom, what's this?"
Mom - "Nothing, its just an old book, Just put it back where you found it."
Shots of Esther reading the book in her room.
Esther - "Oh My God"

FaceTime to Gemma
Gemma - Hey Girl, Whats up?
Esther -  Gemma, I've found this book.
Gemma -  Wow. Is this all you've called me for.
Esther - No, Gemma you don't understand, Its about me!
Gemma - What?
Esther -  Its about my life, Your in it, My dad's death is in it!
Gemma -  Esther your still upset about this, your just looking for something to relate to.  
Gemma Hangs up.

Inter-titles about how reading the book will only make things worse. 
(If i use Voice Over, It starts here.)

Montage of shots, fading to black.
Katy: Esther, this book can not change the future!
More shots in montage
Gemma: Esther, Stop being so stupid a book can not predict the future.

Esther speaking directly to the camera holding the book open. Cut's from Voice over to Esther speaking directly to the camera.

Esther: The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine, for me it was in a book. Imagine reading into the future and knowing you were able to change it. 
(Cuts from Voice over to Camera.) That's what i did and I've never regretted anything more.

Film Title appears.

StoryBoard

I created my storyboard on storyboardthat.com. This site allowed me to use cartoon images to create a storyboard, this was easy to create and made it seem a lot more professional than drawing out my images. This doesn't include the inter-titles. It also doesn't include information on lighting as i want to manipulate the lighting when editing.

Intertitles

























I've been looking at more trailers, and watching what the inter-titles look like. I've noticed not many of them have a blank screen or one block colour, so i've decided to try and add  background which relates to my film. 

I've decided to try out using the scribbles and writing background used on some of my posters and the cover of the book to see how that works and see if it holds a good effect. 

I've made these inter-titles for what would seen through the the trailer. ( I might use these with a voice over.)








I've tried to include the background into the main title for my film. I want to try and see what it looks like if it fades into the background or fades to white, this will help me see what to use for my trailer.










I've tired adding the final shot into the title then fading to white, However it didn't work very well.





I also tired adding sound. I think this makes it look good however i dont like the sound i used as its one you can get on iMovie, so i will look for my own music to use.

Billboard Mock ups

When i came to creating my billboards, I was unsure of what sizes to use, so I used Google it and this website http://www.ucsc.edu/identity/web/billboard-guidelines.html told me the typical dimensions that's real film companies use when creating there billboards.

Here are some of my mock-ups using these dimensions.






I feel these don't link with the drama/thriller genre, as some of them look more like a horror film poster. I'm going to re-edit my images to try and brighten them. After creating these I realised they are a bit small and are more like the posters you see on the side of buses etc. So i went back and did some more research into billboard posters and looked at there size and what they include. I will use some of the same designs I've used but with more information and more images etc.
