Initial Ideas

Initial ideas

I have two different main ideas for the film trailer I want to do,  I brainstormed ideas around a film name which would suit a thriller film. I have also talked in detail things I want to include symbols and extra meanings in my trailer and I am going to think it through well so the trailer has a clear meaning.

Idea 1

Here is my brain storm...

'Insanity' is what I would call it as I looked it up in the dictionary it means; 'The condition of being insane; a derangement of the mind.' This makes it clear what I need to make clear that this is shown in the trailer that they are not 'all there'.  The plot of the film trailer is basically about a woman whom is going insane, her and her boyfriend and walking nearby a park when her boyfriend ties up his shoelace and the woman is gone. no-one or nothing is in sight. situations are shown of it happening to other people. Til the girl comes back and is something else. I thought of phrases I could use throughout other trailer to give an eerie tone;'I didn't know if it was me, my vision or my fear.' ,'I turned around and no-one was there', 'My footsteps haunted me.','unknown or unreal.' Throughout the trailer I may use voice overs to say these sayings either using a deep voice or a Young childlike voice as people see this as scary. I want to make this film more of a thriller also and make things ambiguous.
Idea 2

Here is a picture i scanned in of my brainstorm...

'Unknown' is my second idea, the plot is: A girl/boy who is being followed by someone but it turn out to be her best friend as they are obsessed with her, or it could be cyber bullying and the durastic measures people go to effect people. This is only a rough idea but I think it fits the film genre well as it is surprising, however I'm only going to reveal certain scenes in the trailer as I want to leave the audience wanting more. I would really like this to be interesting, to use phrases like; 'when trust becomes nothing.', 'not even footsteps make sense.' phrases like these will add an eerie tone to the trailer and give an impression on the audience.

Conclusion

However compared to my other idea I think idea 1 is better as it will grip the audience more and I can visualise this idea more. This idea 1 will be ideal as it know what i want my trailer to look like, i want it to be professional with well thought out edits and camera shots with a clear understanding. My trailer will also link well to my poster and magazine cover as you can see on my picture of my brainstorm.
