After the results i received from the questionnaire, i decided that after decideing on the genre of film that was most popular, i would need to look into rival products such as trailers on youtube and thriller marketing campaigns which were most successful.
After asking what kind of thriller they would like to see at the cinema, the majority of people were up for anything. I have decided to do a trailer for a film about a stalker.
The main plot will revolve around a teenage girl getting stalked by this talk, shadowy figure who is obssessed with her, following her around town, in her home, walking down the street ect... I have a clear idea in my head and want to get some test shots to see if where i would like to film, whether the sound and surrounding would work.
Im now starting to look art music to accompany the trailer.
I want it to be classical to starrt but then speed up the pace at the volta point in the trailer where some action starts to happen.
I have come up with 3 questions i want to ask people about as well before i maike any more plans.
What is your biggest fear?
What would you like to see in a film involving stalkers?
What is your favourite pyscological thriller and why?
I came up with these questions so i could see what really gets people clinging to their seats, not just by watching the trailer but have elements of what would be in the film in the trailer.
I wanted to know what people would like to see the trailer as well, not just the usual conventions of a thriller.
The favourite thriller question is so i could look at the trailers for the films they answer to incorporate some ideas from them but not mirror the trailers.
I think im going to film these questions being asked, as a vox pop, so i can get use to the camera's we'll ber working with.
What is your biggest fear? spiders (seriously!)
ReplyDeleteWhat would you like to see in a film involving stalkers?
the build up, the victim initially not sure if s/he's imagining things, then that moment of realisation that yep its really happening, oh and it has to be believeable like it could really happen stuff not the wierdo stuff that you think 'nah that wouldn't happen', the stuff that scares ya the most is the 'oooooo that really could happen to me'
What is your favourite pyscological thriller and why?
i still can't watch Hitchcock's Psycho without a pillow to hide behind - the music, the build up, the strength of the acting ~ might seem tame now compared to some of the stuff thats out there but omg even now i wouldn't recommend anyone walking into the bathrooom if i'm in the shower i would scream the house down lol
