The document outlines three potential ideas for a film trailer: 1) A horror story about a family visiting an isolated hotel where strange events occur. This idea was rejected for being boring and difficult to edit. 2) A romantic comedy about a chance reunion between high school sweethearts. This was too complex a story to convey in a short trailer. 3) An action/comedy about two police officers teaming up to rescue the police chief's kidnapped daughter from triads. This idea was selected as it could be exciting, funny, and produced with the available characters.
2. First Idea-Horror
• This was the first idea I thought of when choosing the appropriate
genre, I decided this because I had number of ideas into how I can
create a successful horror trailer, my first thoughts where that the
ideas required by a horror trailer where not difficult to collaborate,
also I think that various age groups would be interested
• Plan- A family of four decided to go away for the weekend at this
place where the father was told that it’s a great place for families,
little did they know, that it was an isolated place where you are
unlikely to see any visitors, when they arrived they can feel the
tense atmosphere, the door of the hotel was covered in blood , but
they continued to go, as they opened the creaky door, it was
evident that not many people would come to visit, at the
receptionist they stood gazing around this spooky place
3. Reasons why I didn’t choose this idea
• I decided against this idea as it didn’t appeal or interest me.
The storyline itself is rather boring and would not draw
attention to its target audience, also the editing techniques
involved within the trailer will be difficult to create as it the
cuts happen within seconds, moreover the trailer itself
4. Second idea- romantic comedy
• For my second idea I thought of romantic comedy as I had
some interest within the genre itself.
• Plan-A man gets a chance to meet up with his dream girl from
highschool, even though his date with her back then was a
complete disaster.
• They where both in lessons together, however she did not
know that he had a massive crush over her, he always tried
things to get closer , but she was a popular girl within the
class, so all boys had a crush on her, but he was not willing to
give up.
5. Reasons why I did not choose this idea
• decided against this idea as it involves a huge storyline with a
range of characters, therefore I am unable to create a trailer
where I have not got the right amount of characters to
produce a successful trailer, due to these factors I am
impotent to produce a trailer of that calibre, Furthermore due
to it involving two characters who are in love, I cannot
produce a task which my characters are not comfortable in
doing.
6. Third Idea- action/comedy
For my third idea I thought of action /comedy this is due to the
fact that I enjoy watching movies of this type. It shows to sides of
a movie, one side being very funny and the other being
serious, this is the reason I chose this idea as it would interest
the viewers.
Plan- Two police officers team up to get back a kidnapped
daughter.
The triads have kidnapped the chiefs daughter and the two cops
are on the mission to getting her back
7. Reasons why I chose this Idea
• My final decision was action/ comedy , I
believe this genre is something that I believe I
can create, it is exciting and funny at the same
times, at times it will you jump out your sits
and it will be a movie which you are unable to
forget.I also believe that I have the
appropriate characters who can produce
scenes of a high standard
