Shooting Schedule

Shooting Schedule
This is my initial shooting schedule. I created one, to enable me to constructively use my filming time effectively. My ideas on the actual day of filming may change, or i may have to adapt my scenes due to surroundings. This is why i called it my initial shooting schedule, as i am aware that it could change.

Story Patterns

When deciding on a concept for my teaser trailer, the story pattern was a major factor. I wanted my teaser trailer to be unconventional as the storyline is dramatic, edgy and dark. In terms of my teaser trailer i decided to use elements from Pattern 1: The "Character-Driven" Trailer and Pattern 3: The "Trigger-Event" Trailer.

Only two characters will be present in my teaser trailer, with a voice over present in some of the key scenes. As my trailer will consist of a montage of shots, i wanted to show a snippet of the "trigger-event" whilst still keeping an element of ambiguity.

The "Character-Driven" Trailer
My trailer will feature:

  • A sexy, seductress beauty driven to the edge by PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) : she is more than meets the eye
  • An egotistic male with psychotic tendencies: looks like an average guy but very violent
The "Trigger-Event" Trailer

This style of trailer will be portrayed through my female protagonist. At the start of the trailer the audience will see her as a "normal" 18 year old girl, flirtatious, outgoing and slightly wild. After the "trigger-event" the audience will see her change in appearance, behaviour and personality. She will become a dark character who is unpredictable and edgy.
