Idea's and Audience

The process of thinking of ideas can often be a long and strenuous task. Although, after many brainstorms and research on YouTube, Max gave us hope! One of his friends is an ex cage fighter and has access to a small warehouse with fighting apparel/equipment. The idea was to base this opportunity around our teaser trailer. Typically, a teaser trailer needs to be exciting and gripping to grab the audiences attention. What better way of doing that by using a high paced fighting scene. In our minds we all had different camera angles which would lead to creating some interesting and unique shots.
Teaser trailers are usually very short in length (between 30–60 seconds)and usually contain dramatic footage from the film. The trailer will contain elements of fighting and betrayal so it will be shown on television, but after the watershed of 9PM. At this time only adults and teens will be watching and they are the segment of the public that we think will go and watch the film. Advertising can be very expensive so we need to make sure that where our trailer is shown is beneficial. The trailer that we will produce is going to be targeted at people who are a similar age to ourselves(16-25 years old). We know what an average 18 year old would want to see in a trailer. I did some informal research about the trailer and what people might like to see in it. I carried this out in my school common room at lunch. I discovered that most of the boys were more interested in the idea than the girls. This was an obvious discovery for me but nevertheless useful because we now knew to only advertise in men's magazines etc. From our questionnaire results, we uncovered that a trailer is the driving force in motivating people to watch a film. This encouraged us in making enticing trailer which would tease the audience into watching the film.
Now it was on to storyboarding, some more thinking and creating a synopsis. Also, the ever important film name!
