Inspirations

The main inspirations for our trailer have been , Adulthood and Brick .

Adulthood - due to the inner city feel of the movie and especially the trailer. We found the use of costume and music really effective in the Adulthood trailer and therefore decided to use a similar concept for our own trailer.

Brick- After watching the Brick trailer we had a much more clearer outlook on what we wanted our own trailer to look like. This was due to the effective yet do able shots that the trailer used, alongside certain motifs and props that it used. For example in the Brick trailer a character is playing with a rub-ix cube and in our trailer we used this as an inspiration for making our protagonist play sudoku

Below are links to the Brick and adulthood trailer so that you can take a look yourselves and get a real feel for our ideas .

General feel of the trailer

The main character of our movie trailer will be played by Mobeen Nawaz , who we thought will fit the brief of the victim well . The innocence and body structure will be effective in showing the victims personality , especially compared to the much bigger bully's that were going to use.

The music is going to be mainly grime in order to reflect the setting which will be inner city Birmingham. We decided to use this setting as we believe that it will be the most realistic and therefore most effective. Furthermore the costumes of the characters and the general Mise-en-scene of the movie is also going to show portray this outlook.

Furthermore the locations we are planning to use are also places that you would realistically find teenagers in , for example - college , library and parks.

We have decided to call our movie trailer - 'Over The Line'

Synopsis

The movie that the trailer is going to be set on is about a teenage boy who gets bullied . Its his journey of how he turns from the victim into the murderer .
In the beginning it seems that the young boy will never be able to fend for himself however when he finds himself in a one on one confrontation with the bully in an alley way (the changing point of the trailer) his whole persona changes as he picks up a brick and kills the bully. After this point we want most of the rest of the trailer to be a montage of scenes as the young boy and his friend dispose of the body.
We also want to show the viewers the psychological change that the victim goes through by showing that he has some sort of anxiety , where going to portray this through showing the boy endlessly completing sudoku's.
After the montage the trailer is going to slow down again , and the two boys ( the victim and his friend) are walking away from the bridge where they disposed of the body into water. Meanwhile a news reporter is announcing that a local boy has gone missing .
We then want the cut the trailer at a slight hangover. Playing some grime music while the name and release date of the movie appears.
