1. Production concept
Storylines
1. 4 Teenage male characters with laddish personalities and characteristics.
Inbetweeners type film with the four characters taking part in global challenge
set to have the craziest night out making sure to record the night with pictures
and video. The challenge has been noted as illegal by the government for its
likelihood to cause havoc. However the four lads are not phased by this and have
all eyes set to conquer the world by having the most disastrous night out they
can possibly have. Key events in the trailer could include:
o The gathering of the boys at one of their houses or in a pub setting perhaps a
fairly short scene with fast paced editing and closes ups of the boys discussing
the challenge.
o Moves onto a title screen, which gives a better overview of the story with a short
phrase.
o Small scene of the boys gathering their filming equipment also wearing their t-shirts,
which are all similar.
o Possible airport scene maybe showing some close ups of information signs
highlighting the location they are going.
o Landing at the location showing the group on a beach preparing their over the
top drinks.
o A few handheld camera scenes of the characters filming each other as they
stumble around and cause trouble.
o A wide shot showing the boys sprinting past being followed by a police vehicle.
o To finish the trailer off, include a montage of the boys causing havoc with very
fast past editing.
o A final title screen with the phrase ‘How mental can you get’.
Setting
o Beach
o Pub
o House
o Nightclub
All of the settings use will be conventional for the genre featuring mainly party themed
locations. In being realistic with our filming the locations would have to be in beach
areas like Hun Stanton or a local pub. These locations will apply for all of the storylines
to try and keep the trailer conventional and effective. The different scenes will be very
short in each of the settings and I will display some images to visualize the settings.
Mice-en-scene
The costumes used will be very casual for example everyday clothing like a super dry t-shirt
and shorts. This will keep the trailer conventional and also make the characters fit
in with the setting. For example one character could be wearing a pair of ray ban
sunglasses with a branded t-shirt and breach shorts. The costume will vary dependent
on location if the characters are on a beach scene they will wear more beach themed
clothes such as swimming shorts along with a t-shirt. Each character will have similar
clothing and all will be very informal. One character of the group who is shown as the
lesser member will perhaps wear a t-shirt with a funny slogan, which draws attention to
that character and humiliates him.

2. Camerawork
Our shots throughout the trailer will be fairly basic shots paired with fast paced editing.
Establishing shots could be used to highlight the location of the characters for example
an establishing shot too show a beach scene. Paired with close ups and wide shots to
show the characters together. A handheld camera effect will also be used in a trailer
because it makes the trailer seem more realistic and connects with the character more.
We will try to use a range of camera shots to show the characters effectively. We will try
to use a variety of shots to shows the different characters. In the smaller settings such as
a pub we will stick to mainly close ups and mid shots to keep to the conversation of the
characters.
Lighting
The lighting will be high key throughout the trailer because we want to connote a happy
and joyful mood. Also the high key lighting is more conventional the only low-key
lighting will perhaps be in a night scene, which shows the boys going out in the dark.
Most of the scenes for the trailer will be shown in the daytime, which gives us the
advantage of natural lighting. In terms of creating and crafting our lighting this will be
kept to a minimal as we do not have the resources.
Sound
The main sound we will have in our trailer will be dialogue from the characters, as this
will help us to create the story and scene. Our style of dialogue will be very informal and
language will be fairly masculine. The ambient sounds could include everyday sounds
like cars and people talking in the background to add some realism to the scene. We
could add in our own ambient effects but I doubt we will do this as it is a less important
part of the trailer and doesn’t really help in making it more conventional and effective.
We will include some non-diegetic sound such as music, which will be fairly fast paced,
and upbeat. We could use some songs like gold on the ceiling, which will give it a rocky
and energetic feel. For some of the party based scenes we could use some more dance
and rave music to fit with the scene.
Props
We will use general props for example mobile phones and a car. The main props we will
use in our trailer would be:
 Mobile phone
 Car
 Drinks (cans etc.)
There are not many other props we would use that would be effective in our genre as we
start production a prop may come in to mind or become useful.
