Organisation: Shooting & Editing

Canon 700D: The footage of the trailer is essential, if the footage is of low quality immediately the trailer will look unprofessional and of low quality. Therefore i will be filming with a Canon 700D camera, this is a professional high definition camera and using this will ensure my footage is really defined which which make it appear like a realistic product. As its my own equipment I don't have any limited time on it. I can use it frequently any duration of the time.

Iphone 8 Plus: I have also decided to use my Iphone 8 plus as it too is of a high quality so my videos and photos will come out professional. This is a smaller more portable version of my camera. Plus there are some apps I am experimenting when it comes to editing and as this is a more compact alternative it will be easier for me to do , more complex shots which will allow me a range of different angles within my trailer.

Macbook Pro 2017: I will be editing using my Macbook Pro. The Macbook is one of the best devices for filming and editing, its very compact easy to use and has a lot of storage to hold my videos. Plus Mac has a lot of editing software that i can download. The software I am going to use is 'Imovie' this comes with the Macbook I also want to experiment and use different software's aswell. But as I'm not editing at the moment and just focusing on shooting. I don't have to worry about the software yet. But I am definitely going to use Imovie as its one of the best software's out there.

I have all the professional equipment to ensure my trailer is produced at the highest of quality.Therefore, its up to me to film and edit to ensure that the trailer comes out successful and an existing product.

SYNOPSIS

Act 1 summary

What would you do if the love of your life betrayed you? CIARA and DWIGHT were unconditionally in love with one another. After being in a serious exclusive relationship for four years, they were infatuated, the apple of one another’s eye. They performed their usual routine, go to fancy restaurants and wine and dine, visit new places and become intimate with one another. Life was perfect in Ciara’s perspective she had her wealth, status, beauty and most importantly her soulmate.

Act 2 summary

Ciara was not prepared for the event that was going to unfold the following day. In her eyes it was a normal usual day. She decided to express her fondness for Dwight by surprising him, her plan to dress in sexy lingerie with champagne and strawberries in her hand. When she opens the door to their accommodation she starts to hear mumbling and rustling. The noise becomes more prominent in their master bedroom; there was a creak in the door providing a small confined space for viewing. Inside she sees Dwight caressing and about to become sexually intimate with another she female she briefly hears their conversation ‘When are you going to leave that wife of yours’. After hearing this Ciara’s emotional and physical behaviour began to decline rapidly she resorted to hard drug use, suicide and alcohol to remove the pain. She becomes villainous and behaves as though she possessed and her behaviour becomes abnormal and creepy unrealistic elements are included to exaggerate the psychological thriller genre such as her soul leaves her body and weird body language. She tries to change her appearance. She begins to torment Dwight, call his phone on unknown, watch him on her webcam, has a wall of his photos and locations. She’s behind him and when he turns around she disappears and every time he tries to reach out or see Ciara nobody has seen or heard from her.

Act 3 summary 

Ciara is in Dwight’s house with matches and the intention of burning the house down. However, he comes home early and catches her in the act they get in a heated aggressive argument which later breaks in a fight. Dwight and Ciara is brutally hurting one another (kicking, punching) then Ciara pulls out a gun Dwight wrestles it out their hand and they both start wrestling on the floor for the gun only their hands are visible. The trigger is pulled then it cuts to blood splattering on the wall. The climax is left on a cliff-hanger so the trailer does not tell too much about the film

Organisation: Actors Contracts.

I wanted my actors to be serious and dedicated to my project and like an existing real movie actors have a contract. Which is proof they have signed to dedicate their time to my trailer. The contract states all the binds and agreements such as they are ensured they will not be payed for their participation. We will not shoot longer than 3 hours in a single day. I will do my best to ensure their health, safety and welfare is at my best interest during the shoot and they know the final product will be uploaded to YouTube. The contract is proof of their commitment so i expect them to participate and work accordingly with me as they have decided to do this.

Drafting & Planning: Trailer script.

Every trailer needs a script, it is an integral role as every movie is a story. Because my film is a trailer I have created a smaller condensed script for my actors. The script guides and explains what the trailer is about. As i haven't filmed the scenes which require the dialogues the script may be changed and amended, but so far this is the main script every character has a line because very character is important to the storyline and because the duration of the trailer is short the script is very through and straight to the point.

Drafting & Planning: Location List.

Location list from Ashlee Traill

Organisation: Mistress female Hair & Makeup

 As the Mistress is only in a very few scenes I don't have to have a lot of hairstyles or outfits. I want her to wear this top as its very alluring and seductive, and as she's a mistress its essential that she looks sexy and tempting to imply that she tempted the protagonists boyfriend to cheat on her,
The hairstyle is what shes going to wear very lose and straight waves, its very modern and it looks expensive like a Brazilian blow dry. Which makes the trailer look professional.

This outfit is what i want her to wear in the photoshoot, i want her to wear a plain black top or a white one i haven't decided yet but i wasn't to use the colours so it has reference to the colour scheme as colours are important in my trailer as they have a meaning. I also like this hairstyle so i may use this hair in the photoshoot as its sleek and very need as has this elegant and classy look.

Organisation: Protaganist male Hair & costumes.

This is an outfit the male character is going to wear he does not have to represent and appear to be classy as the female. I want him to be the typical masculine male. Therefore this black wholly jumper, black jeans and Black trainers. Will make the male cast appear modernized and represent his masculine nature. As if he was overly fashionable that is not a representation of masculinity. He also is wearing a watch and earrings which is a typical male feature men like to spend money on jewelry it makes him look as though he has money aswell.

This is another similar dress sense. I don't want the male to dress extremely fashionable I want him to dress quite plain but still dress nice. This is skinny black jeans and a red jumper. This outfit is not too casual but neither is is it elegant, it fit the male character very nice as it exaggerates his strong physique which will make him appear attractive and desirable towards the public. Plus red has connotations of love mystery and danger, so the colours of the clothing can be alluded and relatable to the plot.

This is another plain outfit but because its a blue t-shirt it makes the character appear very strong which makes him look really masculine. In trailers the male always appears very and has this attractive sex power. That make females fan girl, this will boost the box office sales and make the audience want to watch the trailer as the cast is representative.

This is what the male actors haircut is going to look thoroughly in the trailer. I have a picture of him actually getting his hair done its a very neat and low hairstyle and as hes getting pampered and taking care of his appearance it makes him look more attractive and quite rich as his appearance is very important too him. Plus, this hairstyle is very modernised and it suits the character as hes a male i don't have to worry about versatile haistyles.

Organisation: Protaganist female Hair & Makeup

I have included the makeup routine of the female protagonist. I wanted to work with her on the makeup routine, because I wanted her to be comfortable with the routine because everybody knows their face better than anyone else. But i still wanted her makeup to represent her characterization and suit all the clothing. So we have opted for a very beautiful bronze and nude look. She wears a full face of makeup consisting of foundation, concealer, setting powder, with fake eye lashes, mascara and eye liner and glow powder. This full face of makeup is versatile it can wear with any outfit and it helps make her look attractive and desirable. Plus when previously researching characters who have the same personality and interest of the protagonist vanity, and appearance is an essential part, plus it makes the trailer appear more professional. The nude makeups gives her this flawless and airbrushed look and its compatible with any colours and clothing plus the actress herself prefers this makeup routine rather than bright and bold colours.

I have also used various of hairstyle, we have a wig that the leading actress will wear in the second half of the trailer to show her new identity and appearance it represents after a breakup you reinvent yourself. I have customized the wig to be suiting to my preference its very different to the protagonist natural hair as its big platinum curls.

The actress is also going to have different hairstyles as their is different scenes. I am using the typical slit back, wet look hairstyle. This is the hairstyle the actress is going to have in the bath she naturally has straight hair so this is achievable not only is it seductive and desirable but it enhances her features which it vital because the bath is a very close and personal scene. This is the makeup look we are going to use again very nude and pink colours with long eyelashes. I want her to replicate this face for the scene she looks despondent and livid at the same time, its a very powerful and intimidating look.

This is the other look. The sleek ponytail is a very elegant and classy look, as the actress is modelling the hairstyle it shows its achievable and it suits her and the role. I want my actress to have versatile haistyles as its more realistic and professional as i have organised and planned exactly how i want her to look. This hairstyle is very neat and classy which is what the character is trying to represent. Once again the makeup is very nude, but dramatic and flawless.

This is a hairstyle I will  use a lot in the first scene of the trailer. This is black big curls,i want to use this hairstyle because its contrasting to the blonde so it will exaggerate how much the actress wants to reinvent herself. This curls are very sexy and alluring and it looks likes its been professionally done which makes the character be represented as opulent.

I have used the bun hairstyle because it's a very revealing hairstyle your full face is exposed. The scene is sued this in is a very personal website and i want the audience to exactly concentrate on what the character is doing, and not be distracted with her hair or makeup. Plus it was a dramatic scene when she was in her personal house. It needed to be realistic as people do not dress up at their house. So this is a less sexy look.

This is another hairstyle i am going to use in a scene and also in the photoshoot. I have purchased a faux fringe so this look is achievable and i wanted to use this to represented the vast different hairstyle so my film does not look typical and as if its a low budget. This hairstyle will make my character appear youthful and innocent. Which we know shes not.

Organisation: Costume Ideas (protagonist)

Female Protagonist

I have decided to use this costume for my main protagonist the clothing is inspired by the film 'Clueless' Which is about a rich teen. Because my main female is suppose to look opulent I wanted her to wear this because it makes her look flamboyant and its very classy, youthful and modern clothing.

I want my main character to look very elegant and appear as though shes of a higher standard. I want her to wear a lot of white to suggest this innocence and purity. This jumpsuit was perfect because its got this sophistication and it appears professional. I wanted a variety of different clothing suitable for the different scenes, this clothing will suit the characterisation and their appearance and how they present themselves is very important.

These are two different dresses that I purchased once again they are very different elegant versatile dresses, I have used a lot of white and nude clothing as it has this grace and elegance linked to it. But the outfits are still modernised and youthful the clothing look and are very expensive with lace and silk material. The white dress at the bottom gives my female character this pure and angelic look which i want at first my audience to believe she's so innocent and confused to how she can be so capable of a crime

This dress is very lavish its filled with diamonds, it represents the characterisation of my character who's this wealthy opulent character. The dress is covered with diamonds, the expensive clothing will him me to reinforce my characters behaviour and her social class is more identifiable. I made sure that all my dresses are of a different range and non of the outfits are the same they are very versatile which shows my trailer is not low budget.

This is different to my other outfit its another two piece because my  main character is suppose to be beautiful and alluring I have provided a lot of seductive clothing for her to wear. This also is very opulent as its sparkly and it wasn't cheap it very sexy and revealing because its different from my other outfits it shows I have a range of costumes which shows sophistication.

This another white bodycon dress, white has the connotations of purity and innocence and its very sexy and alluring. Which is the image I want to present as I want my main cast to be very desirable. This dress also suits the characters image as it looks expensive and classy. Its important that the clothing is fitting to my character and as clothing and presentation is a vital part of characterisation like for example if my character is very feminine it wouldn't be portrayed if she was wearing masculine clothing and presenting herself as masculine. 

For my trailer to be realistic my character would need to wear different clothing to represent every and every day life as people don't dress elegant and fancy 14/hours of the day. Their are some scenes where her clothing are less formal I have included a more casual but still expensive and modernised clothing. This clothing is very modern amongst the youth ripped jeans and cropped jackets. It still very sexy and the jacket costing £100+ shows the opulence. 

This is your classic denim on denim  all her outfits are matching very stylish and modernised. Once again I have used a very expensive BOY London jacket which makes the outfit expensive and its very rich and presenting this lavishness. This versatile clothing is more realistic and as denim is extremely modern it makes my trailer appear modernised.

This is another outfit it's a BOY London bomber jacket and white ripped jeans all my outfits are unique and they all match. I like using black and white because they are very professional colours. Bomber jacket and ripped jeans are modern and the design of the jacket looks expensive and presents the characterisation of the character i want everything she wears to look expensive.
