The document discusses the key elements needed for a trailer, including actors, locations, costumes, and props. It details the selection of 6 actors to fill main roles. Two main locations are chosen - a school and local town. Casual and smart clothing are needed to match different scenes. Props like guns, briefcases, cars, and bikes are required to make scenes look realistic and match the action themes. The selections were tested and deemed suitable for the trailer.
1. For my trailer the four main things that are paramount of importance are the
actors, locations of the trailer, costumes needed to be worn and props needed to
complete most scenes.
2. The first thing I need for my trailer are the actors. After assessing a variety of actors for my trailer I
have decided who my final set of actors will be for my trailer. My film will consist of lots of action, so
I will need actors who will be able to thrive when under pressure and to do quality acting. I will need
6 characters in total for my trailer; the two brothers who are at the centre of everything in the film
are the main characters. I have chosen Jaspreet Singh to be the elder brother (Ranvir Singh) in my
trailer and Reece Bahia who will play the younger brother (Rajiv Singh). The detective who will be
investigating the death of the elder brother will be Enamul Miah, (Detective Robert’ Da Costa), the
three ladies who are the girlfriends of the three men, are (Elise, Samantha and Anita). After
assessing these actors I have decided that they are most appropriate for my trailer. I decided the
actors for my trailer by giving each of them an interviews.

3. Locations – For my trailer I will need quite a few different locations, I have decided on my
locations after intense testing and assessments. My main location will be Grace Academy
Darlaston, I will be using quite a few facilities there to do most parts of my film. Another
setting for my film will be in my local town where I will be filming the racing scenes. I
previously had tried to do every scene in my trailer within Grace Academy but found it
extremely difficult to do certain scenes such as the racing scenes, so with these scenes
being impossible to do I have chose to do the racing scenes on the streets in my local town.
I also felt that with the school environment that some scenes may not be suitable and will
be hard to maintain the quality of the trailer.
4. Costumes - For my trailer I will need a variety of different costumes as the scenes in my
trailer will consist of different settings and props. So the different costumes will need to
match with the intensity of the scenes, for example in a romantic scene the characters
will be in a place of serenity and calm atmosphere, their clothes will also match with the
scene, so a lady might wear a long white dress in a romantic scene and a man might
wear a suit and tie. For my trailer I will need mainly be needing casual clothes as most
scenes will include action, I will also need smart clothing for particular scenes. I first
chose casual clothing as the main type of clothing for my trailer, I then went through my
storyline and noticed that money and wealth has a big part, so I then added smart
clothing to it aswell.By changing it to smart and casual, it matches more with the theme
of my film. It also matches with the clothes worn by most actors and actresses in Action
films, hence the reason why I have chose this type of clothing for my trailer.

5. Props – My trailer will consist of lots of action and a bit of comedy, to ensure I get my trailer to
be the best, I will need appropriate and suitable props. So for example, for a cycle race I will
need bikes and helmets. So for scenes such as the racing scene props such as cars will be
needed. There will be loads of other scenes where I will be needing a variety of props for my
scenes to run smoother. These props include: Fake Guns, briefcases and many more, all
these are needed to ensure my trailer is unique and looks realistic, also so it matches with the
themes of the trailer. After testing with the props mentioned above, I feel that I will not need to
change anything as they are all suitable and appropriate for my trailer. There were some props
that I tested but felt they were not suitable or inappropriate, for example for the racing scenes
I tested some other cars, but after testing with them I felt they were not suitable for the trailer
as they do not match with the intensity of the film, whereas a BMW as I have now chosen,
matches up to the quality and fast paced race as well as the trailer on the whole.
