Applying Recognisable Conventions of Trailers

In order to apply the recognisable conventions of a trailer, in groups of three's we came up with ideas about who to market to and promote a film called BloodShed High.

As a group we all decided what to base o
ur film around and we came up with a decision of having the setting in a american high school hence the title name 'High' and to base it around dracula/vampires.

We started to sketch o
ur ideas onto 12 shot storyboard explaining how we are going to go about our trailer.

BLOODSHED HIGH STORYBOARD




For our film trailer, the USP we had decided was on that we wanted the film to be released in 3D as this enhances illusion of depth perception. Another USP was to have a mix of genres romance/teen-movie/horror. This is more explained in a little movie production we had done below.

We included an famous actor named: Robert Pattinson because he is known to star in vampire movies [Twilight] and has been a big seller. This actor is also known by many teenagers, so this therefore brings in many teenage audiences.

BLOODSHED HIGH TRAILER ANALYSIS




When producing the trailer, we had to come up with ideas which would engage the audience and interest them in watching the film. In doing so, we wanted to make the production details the main feature in our trailer. We used the director from 'The Crazies' Breck Eisner to direct Bloodshed High. This was because as the director is known from the previous hit movie 'The Crazies' audience's expectations are high as they would get the idea that 'Bloodshed High' is a good movie.

We had to also remember that trailers are not movies, so in our trailer we used blackouts inbetween the shots to create a sense of urgency.
