New Target Audience

We decided that we needed to change our target audience because our new film is so different to the last one. For example the kind of people who would have  liked the old one would have been interested in films like Trainspotting where as the new target audience enjoy like films like The Bourne Identity.  Although we have kept the target age group about the same even though the new certification is now lower than before, this is because the audience will be able to relate with the new protagonist.

New Actor, Props & Costume

Actor

Here is our new main actor for our film. His name is George Moffitt and we chose him as he is a skilled bmx biker so fit perfectly with the role. Also his appearance is like a stereotypical biker as he wears a lot of skater hats and clothes that link to the skater culture.

Costume

We decided to let George wear his own clothes as they look skaterish already. These may include;

A BMXer hat

High Tops

Shorts                                                   Checkered shirt & T shirt 

We also have a couple of scenes where George will need to be wearing PJ's

Props

There is a variety of different props that we will be needing when filming the trailer and doing the photo shoot. These being;

George's BMX bike                                       Backpack

Post it Notes                           Magazine Cutouts & Photos of George doing tricks

We will also need the objects listed below but these will all already be available in his house;
-Toothbrush
-Toothpaste
-Cereal Box
-Bowl, spoon (General breakfast objects)
-Torch
-Lipstick

Re-Think

 We have decided to change our promotional package and the storyline of the film. This is because we didn't think that the story of the film or the teaser trailer would be strong enough to be successful in the competitive market. Therefore we have created a new storyline and will be creating a new teaser trailer, film magazine and poster
Here are the previous pieces of the promotional package for our film;


This is the teaser trailer that we began to edit but then never completed;

Here is the incomplete film magazine;

Here is the incomplete film poster (I created two at the time as I wasn't sure on which image to choose);

Making the newspaper scene

Part of our trailer involves a car crash scene, so to show this we are going to briefly film some homemade newspaper articles on the disaster. Here is the process and the actual articles that will be used.




The images;

We got a template for the newspaper front covers from the website 'Online Newspaper Templates' (http://www.cleo.net.uk/index.php?category_id=317) and we will adapt this to suit our concept.

Costume

'George'

These tracksuit bottoms and T-shirt are similar to the ones that we used during the filming of our teaser trailer. We paired these together to illustrate to the audience, through the use of the colour black, that he is an upset, confused and angry character that needs help. Also by using just the one neautral colour it puts more of a focus on what is actually happening and the character's emotions.

We also asked the actor to grow a bit of stubble to give the impression that he doesn't care about his appearence and give him more of a messy look.


'Young George'
We asked the children who were acting as 'young George' and his friends to be dressed in their school uniform as a uniform gives them the identity that they are part of a group, in this case a school, which is what we were trying to aim for as it makes it look like George had a wonderful life before the disaster. 
Also a uniform is made to make people look smart and make it seem like they care about their appearance, which emphasis's the change in costume later on in the movie/ teaser trailer.





Teenager's Parents
We used an existing photograph of the 'teenager's parents' on their wedding day as it made it look more realistic and natural. Although when searching for the photo we wanted the bride and groom to be wearing typical wedding outfits, i.e a black suit and a long white dress, and to be looking very happy.

Songs that may have appeared in our teaser trailer (if they weren't copy righted)

We thought that these songs would have worked really well with the trailer (if they weren't copyrighted) because they all talk about the issues that the main character in the film is thinking about. Also they aren't very upbeat songs but still have the breakdown near the end, which would match perfectly with the onscreen events. We were mainly looking at the genre of rock/ indie/ punk music because it is kind of an 'indie' film and because pop music or dance music just wouldn't fit in with the story line.
