Narrative: The narrative of my film that I am producing a trailer for is about a young girl who was bullied all throughout her childhood, but also abused by her father then suddenly she goes missing then is found died. She still communicates with her only best friend as she is trying to get her to find her murderer. I believe my film trailer will be an open structure as it denies resolution by leaving the audience to wonder what is going to happen next, hopefully making them want to go and get the full experience at the cinema by watching the movie.
Genre: The genre of my film is going to be thriller to create tension for the audience but to also keep them on edge to what is going to happen next. Therefore structuralism applies which the main code Hermeneutic from Barthes theory as it doesn’t give away the full truth and avoids telling certain facts about the narrative itself.
Characterisation: My main character that dies and is bullied all her childhood by peers but also her father will be timid, scared and weary of others, but contrast to that her only friend will be outgoing, confident and gets along with others very easily. Therefore Levi Strauss’s theory of binary oppositions also applies to my film as the two main characters within my film are complete opposites however have a close relationship that links them together. The father is abusive, confident and heartless again contrast to his daughter, this is to show the contrast between certain people that the audience are able to relate to as they may know particular people that suit the stereotypes used within the film/trailer.
Setting: The main setting of the film will be located in a dark and gloomy forest where the young girl dies to create an eerie atmosphere for the audience but also a similar place they may recognise so they’re again able to relate to it as it is an area that resembles trouble within other particular horror/thriller scene especially in the dark. Another main place will be a graveyard to signifying the young girls death but also the relationship between the two best friends as it is the first place the friend hears or has connection with the dead young girl since she past away.
Props: I will use a wide range of props ranging from grave stones to basic furniture. A significant prop I will include in the film is a teddy bear to symbolise the young girl but also they’re often used to represent a child but ironically in this circumstance it resembles death and loss due to the death of the young girl, but it is the only physical item the best friend has of the dead young girl to remind her excluding memories, however it is also the only thing that connects the two girls together.
Costume: The costume of the young dead girl will be dark, ripped like clothing to represent she has had a traumatic experience, with dark and light makeup to symbolise a dead look. Again contrast to this her best friend will be fashionable with bright clothing therefore, binary opposition applies to my film trailer again representing the contrast between the two best friends.
Cast: I will have various cast members.
