Planning- Script


This is the script that we used to show what people will be saying and at what time. We structured our script like this because it is easy to understand and read. We have chosen to use a voice over of someones voice instead of just a plain title card. Were spoofing promotional videos by advertising a school in a non-serious manor, almost as if we were mocking it. Were using Mr Jones as the voice over as we feel he would be perfect as he is a very humorous person. It is very common for horror comedy trailers to have voice overs which portray humour either through the accents and ironic tones.

Planning- Storyboard



This is our storyboard that we created to show what what camera angles we will be using for each shot and what narrative is there in each scene. The storyboard helped us alot as it showed us when the next scene is and what camera angle and character we were using in that particular scene. We picked these different angles to show variety throughout the trailer, so that the viewers dont get bored. The storyboard shows how the narrative moves from scene to scene which helped when filming them.

Planning- Mind Map


This is the mind map we used to put all our ideas on to determine what type of trailer we were going to use. We discussed what theme we were going to use and what characters we were gonna use. We also wrote down what iconic props we would use in our trailer. We also planned the setting, which is Park Hall school and a member of the groups house.

Primary Research- Questionnaire Results


We measured up all the results and we put the results into charts and graphs so we could compare the answers. These results will effect what a trailer will contain and how we will film it. These results helped us target our specific audience, and how we was going to attract them. By asking where people watch trailers gave us a helping hand into how we was going to advertise the trailer. When asking the question 'Who do you prefer to see in the beginning of the film trailer?' most people answered that they would like to see an antagonist. This will help us decide on how we can attract the audience and who will the audience see at the beginning.

Primary Research- Questionnaire

This is the questionnaire that I used as research to find out what attracts viewers to watch trailers. We asked questions such as, what pace of edits do they prefer in a trailer and what genre of film they prefer watching. We used this questionnaire to find out what type of target audience we will be attracting. This will help us determine what type of film we will be doing a trailer on, and whether we will use certain edits for the trailer. If a majority of people decided they like fast paced edits and a protagonist at the start of the trailer then this will help us make the decision to whether making these changes will be a good idea.
