- 2. As it stands i would like to make a teaser trailer for a horror/thriller film. I have been coming up with many ideas in my head for it and seems the right way for me to go. The main idea of it is the killings of a serial killer and will have a similar theme to the Hannibal lector films. I say this because of the slow music and build up. I want to follow the theme of these films because they aren't just senseless murders; the murders are well thought out and Hannibal himself is a very intellectual and isn't made out to be an insane individual.
- 3. The plot to my film is of a deranged school child- gone serial killer, who has grown to hate everyone in his school after years of bullying. One day he just snaps and decides he’s going to do something about it. His first victim will be Sazi(mentioned in my blog), he goes for her because she is the girlfriend of the main bully and he wants to cause him as much suffering as possible. He has lost all sense of right and wrong but due to his intellectual mind he doesn't just go around with a knife stabbing them, in fact he has come up with specific way of killing each of them. Yes it does seem like your average boring horror but the twists behind the deaths and him being able to evade being caught adds something special has he isn't even suspected right up until he wants to get caught.
- 4. There is a chance either I or Paul will be playing the deranged school kid. I say this because it will be hard to describe to someone how I want him to act and behave . I may use my friend Paul as he is allot taller then me and would look like more of a physical presence, and this would allow him to look more threatening I will be using Sazi as a the female victim because she looks like such an innocent girl by the looks of her but she also has the ability to act mean. I am also using my friend Esteban because he is willing to act however is needed for my trailer. He can act bad, scared, happy, sad and just about anyway I ask him to. I will also have some extra’s in there but they haven't been decided as of yet.
- 5. Sazi will play the character of Shaniqua. I’m using this name as it is stereo typically ‘ghetto’ name and Sazi will be playing a ‘ghetto-ish’ style character. I am also using Sazi as she is a very attractive girl and she will attract the male audience using the ‘male gaze theory’. Shaniqua is the type of girl to encourage bad behaviour, hence the reason she is with the bully of the school and gets her happiness from seeing others suffer
- 6. Paul will most likely be playing the killer of my movie. The killers name is Mason and has been subjected to Severe bulling ever since he has primary school. He has Been seen as an outsider by his peers and this made him Become a very secluded person up and always just let the Bullying slide and never made a peep about it until he snaps.
- 7. Esteban is playing Jesús who is sort of the bullies main man, he isn't as harsh as him in terms of the bullying but does pick on Mason a fair bit. He has never been a shy type of person and does like to be at the centre of attention to make himself look like a ‘big man’.
- 8. Marcio shall be playing Junior. Junior is the bully and the main reason for the mental breakdown of mason. Junior has been a bully all his life and followed mason from primary school to secondary school all the way through to sixth form just to ruin his life and make sure it stays a misery. There is no reason for him doing this other then to cause him harm. He grew up in a run down estate and had to grow up fast and fend for him self as his mum is a coke head and his dad left before he was born. The only person in the world he has a soft spot for is his girl friend, Shaniqua, the only other people that matter to him is his mum and Jesús. Everyone else in his life has let him down and all these factors lead up to the way he is now.
- 9. I am looking to use an instrumental from a song called ‘dance with the devil’ by immortal technique. I am using this because it reminds me of the piano playing in the Hannibal film. And as I mentioned in my blog I’m looking to use aspects of that specific film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J- b6qCVwcB0&safe=active
- 10. At the moment I have only decided one scene that will defiantly happen in the trailer and that will be the opening. It will open with the camera fading into a boys lifeless face on the floor and as it pans away showing what has happened it will show the blood from his head all over the floor and the boy dead on the floor. This scene here would actually be near the end of the actual film but I want to use it for the beginning of the trailer because it shows the audience what is going to happen but when they already know this, it will make them interested as to what happens and it automatically attracts the audiences attention.
- 11. For my trailer there wont be any speech involved what so ever as u feel for my trailer it only ruins the suspense and atmosphere I'm going to be trying to build for it. If I feel at a later stage that I might add some in I will give it a go. Or I might try the trailer with some speech and make it without one to see which one I prefer. In the case of a scream or door creaking or something like that I plan to use a pre recorded template to make sure the sound quality is perfect.
