Brainstorming

Brainstorm on Prezi

After we had chosen our groups we began to brainstorm ideas about the type of trailer we would want to do. We considered various genres, and we initially chose to do a horror film. However, we felt even though the idea for our storyline was good, it would not really work, as we weren't sure where we would film it or who would act in it, as we needed a young girl as an actress. After deciding that this idea was not what we wanted to do anymore we chose to do a film set in the 19th century about a wealthy girl who loves one man who is beneath her class, with the title of 'Ménage à trois', which means 'Love Triangle' in French. In the film he loves her also, but she is being sought after by a rich count. She feels attracted to him slightly, so she decides to lead them both on, resulting in a massive fiasco. I feel that our second idea is better as it will be more interesting and something very different to horror, which could turn out to be cliché and end up looking over the top if we did not get the balance right.

For our idea of a peridoic teaser trailer we are going to need to find props and shoot in buildings which are of the 19th century time period. The drama department at our college do have some costumes of that century which we can borrow, but we will still keep asking people around college if they have an 19th century clothes, furniture etc... or if they know of any buildings which we could use for the film trailer. We will also display posters around college letting people know that we need props for our teaser trailer.

Another thing which we need to do is display posters asking for possible actors/actresses so that we can hold auditions for those who will be interested. Once people come forward the auditions can be held and we can begin to plan the locations where we will shoot, as well as the costumes we would like people to wear. The auditons process will be carried out during lunctimes when people are free, and we will film each person. My group can then watch them back and decide who we think will be suitable for which part.
