The ideas we have had for music are to have a piano/violin piece playing slowly at the beginning whilst the nerdy children are being bullied in slow motion.

the piano piece in this song is one that we like and so i am going to make one that is similar that will fit our trailer



At the point when the nerds decide to become cool the music will change and become and upbeat more modern which is to symbolise the change in the nerds.

Our treatment

Sophisticated brain-boxes attempt to join ‘the chavs’ of the school, however this proves to be a challenge as they struggle to fit in.

They ultimately come up with a plan that will get them in the ‘in crowd’ they get tricked into thinking they get accepted, but in reality they’re just a temporary amusement for the chav's. The chav's have an initiation test for each member of the nerds, of which ends up showing their true intentions: to cause them harm and to humiliate them.
The nerds end up figuring it out and fight back earning respect from the chavs (however they still get beaten up) and a higher social status in school.

Nerd's names: Arty, Olga, Hilda and Neville
Chav's names: Dazza (Dwayne), Tyrelle and Chontellaniqua

Conventions

Convention of a Trailer

The basic convention of a film trailer is to introduction of the plot, establishment of the main characters, introduce the setting, establish genre, build tension and given an brief explanation of the situation the characters are in. We should aim to leave the audience with questions to gain their interest in the upcoming film and to keep

them thinking about it. Editing is very important in a trailer. The narrative structure should generally introduce (characters and setting) show conflict/ problem that characters have gotten themselves into, this is followed by the climax of the trailers where the problem is somewhat resolves.

Convention of a Film Magazine

A conventional film poster has a dominate image , Masthead (name of magazine), tagline, Coverline (this tells the audience what’s in the magazine, date and cover price and a barcode ( offers that help promote the magazine.

Convention of a Film Poster

Film posters generally have a tagline, a dominate image, the film’s title, release date cast/stars and the directors name. Some films posters may have all these however some only have a few.

  This makes us aware that editing and music is key in attracting the audience, this tells us that we have to experiment with different editing techniques to keep the audience interested in our trailer.

Before we composed out questionnaire we decided to do a comedy, the results help us to know that our target audience prefer comedies so that shows that there is a larger market for comedies. This can also help us decide if we want to create a hybrid genre for our media promotional package or not and what genre we would combine to allow our audience to get what they want.

We asked male and female students questions about what trailers, film posters, magazine and movie genres to get an insight into what interest people to go see a film. These are the question that we believe gives us and insight into what the audience may want from our promotional package. We will attempt to incorporate as much of what the majority of our audience said they liked into our final products.

Trailers

These are some of the trailers we have watch to give us inspiration for our media trailer. We looked at the music, the representation of certain characters (mostly the nerd/underdog) the timing of clips shown in the trailer and the convention of the trailers. These Trailers helped to build ideas of how we want to portray our characters and it help us gain an general understanding of what has been successful in comedies.
