Our Finished Product. :)

As a well co-operative group, we have all chipped in our talents and created a 3 minute trailer; consists of the Thriller genre, targeted at 18 to 24 year olds along with the purpose to entertain.

I am going to include a scanned version of our storyboard and will develop it further by discussing what will be shown on screen, the order of events along with the soundtrack being played along with the shots; [The set of order which will appear on screen for out trailer]

1 Here is the film 4 logo in which will be displayed first in resemblance to what we had planned together, this logo help's signify that our trailer is a British, Independent film of the production company; Channel 4. Here is a trailer for Slumdog Millionaire which co-Film Four Productions as one of it's studio's along with Fox Searchlight.

2. Next up, onscreen would be the Gogo Films logo along with the UKFC Logo, both very diverse and direct media productions. Here is a link to both websites which have a variety of services on offer; such as Gogo TV, Gogo Film, Gogo Research and many more.

3. Trailer Starts! Here, we have included the first 3 shots of our storyboard, which I drew out in brief for a "feel" for what will be displayed throughout. We started off with a corridor scene where the "Film Club" poster is displayed on the wall and we see a group of girls staring at it with anticipation - and then the protagonist is introduced here. So basically we get a normal environment setting as most Thriller trailers do, such as After school - where our inspiration was created.

In Afterschool, we get the first scene set also in a college/school where the characters are introduced. These are one of the common conventions of a Thriller genre; the setting commences with an ordinary setting where ordinary events take place. In this case; school/college = study, projects, socialism and teaching!

4. Awards Information; This is a prestigious part of the whole trailer as it suggests that it's been reviewed by critics such as Phillip French who come from magazine reviews such as Empire magazine; http://www.empireonline.com/

5. More trailer shots; to help move the trailer along smoothly, we have included many shots, and here are a few clips from our storyboard to help imagine this out clearly;

^^ This part of the trailer is where the audience get an inner feel and depth of what the film provides - we tried our best not to place the order of events in chronoligcal order as it would'nt reconcile with the conventions of the genre itself; thus films like Memento and Run Lola Run; both of which are well-known for their unique portrayal of non-chronlogical/non-linear order of events which are displayed throughout the entire plot.

6. Institutional Data - VERY important which sews the whole trailer together with it's production companies, websites, release date, of course with a tag-line(caption); here I created a Poster for a film in which was very beneficial towards our groupwork as it helped me realise what to initially inclue and to re-iterate, it helped me with the actual title and the film's informative details;

7. Towards the end, shall be played some last footage of the trailer to leave the viewer shocked with awe with the climatic ending; [One of the key conventions of the Thrillers]

7. In Conclusion, here is a list of the possible soundtracks we have included and have used amongst our shots to help immerse them together and enable them to emerge as one as it's more soothing for the reader to absorb the medium - through music and shots.

Mr role entailed to carefully concentrate, select and apply the soundtrack along with the voice-over fopr the shots to be edited on Final Cut;

Our trailer is called The Cut where it has a unique storyline and plot and includes most of the conventions of a Thriller genre, this is our finished product and it was worth while! ;)
