mood board

For the trailer to be a success, I found that I needed to distinguish which emotions will be at the incline of the trailer, I also need to determine the turning points in the trailer that will grip the audiences attention. I put together a mood board with all the emotions that I would like to be the focus of the turning points in my trailer. In this first mood board it is set with a negative tone, as I have filled the most of the mood board, with depressing images and I believe this is the emotion that engulf the most of the trailer. I wanted to establish a sense of negativity, disappointment and loss of hope. I feel that these images are concise in demonstrating that to the audience.

*NEW PLOT CHANGE*

After critical decision making and attempts at filming, I decided I wanted to change the story line to something more realistic and relate-able to my target audience of young people aged 13 - 18. The plot is of a sexually abused teenage girl who falls pregnant after this attack. She contemplates keeping the child and how this will affect her. Struggling to come to terms with this the trailer will follow the trials and tribulations that the protagonist faces, leaving the enigma code of what she results in doing.

Production Logo's

This is the film logo I had created in Serif PagePlus to make, it was
originally a template however I altered the type and colours to adhere
to my logo a little bit more.

After researching various production logos, I had a clear idea
about what I wanted to create for my trailer.  The bright is in yellow
to connote the colour refrence and when light meets film refrences the logo.
To adhere to film conventions a bit more, I uploaded another film production logo that I am
in association with.

Photo chocie

This is the main image, that i have decided to focus on when
developing my magazine. I shortlisted this from the most of the photos
because I feel like this connotes passion and hurt which is a significant
and occuring theme within my trailer.

Risk Assesment

What is a risk assessment? 

When filming, I need to think about what harm or ill health I can cause people. whether it is location, weather or sound. It is required by law for me to carry out. I must take serious control measures and do anything in my power to at least reduce hazards and any form of danger.
 - Identify hazards.
 - Evaluate and analyse the risk associated with the hazard
 - Determine how to eliminate the hazard or control appropriately..

Why will I create a risk assessment?

I will create a risk assessment so that I can prevent myself
and crew from any type of injury of illness. I can identify
if an of my actors or myself will be at risk with any of the 
factors concerning the filming of my trailer. By preventing
any risks early on, I will most likely be more confident to 
film scenes for my trailer smoothly and within time frame.

The aim of my risk assessment.

To create a risk- free and controlled area to film. To
be completely aware of any hazards and risk that could be 
involved and reduce them or remove them for a safer environment.

Actor Profile

Name: Brianna Lindo
Age: 17
Character Role: Tanji Theo
Race: Mixed Race (Caribbean & English)

Brianna is a close friend of mine, she is studying
A-Level Performing Arts and has performed in various
shows from Wicked, Legally Blond and Oklahoma. She is
very enthusiastic and able to take on any role no matter how complex. After asking for her permission and discussing the
requirements of my film to Brianna, she then agreed to being involved. I outlined Tanja's character role to her and she was excited straight away. She is different to Tanja in terms of personality as
Tanja is very depressed and not positive at all, however Brianna is very
outgoing. These differences will not affect the film at all, due to the fact
that Brianna is very good at putting herself in someone shoes.

Name: Jordan Quinn
Age: 17
Character Role: Gabriel Simms
Race: English

I am very lucky to be friends with people such as
Jordan who like Brianna studies A-Level Performing
Arts, Jordan is passionate for acting, and achieves high levels
in performing arts , therefore using him for my film will be
very exciting. Alike Gabriel, Jordan has a kind heart and never
fails to make people smile. I believe he will be an asset to my
film

What Genre Have I Chosen? Why?

To be completely clear, I chose the theme of Drama as my overall genre for my film. To be specific I had chosen to do an Urban Drama. I had chosen Drama not only because of the connotations I can apply such as social realism issues.But because my target audience of young female people are specifically interested in the Drama concept. I also feel like in terms of capturing those conventions, that won't be difficult as the conventions are easier to capture especially as a young person. Films such as Kidulthood, Paper Towns and Hunger Games have inspired to me as they have attracted a young audience, and therefore my film is most likely to involve these desires of my taret audience
