6. Pre-production
What are you making? For my final project, I have had to chose a specific area of media to focus on and create a
product in that area. I decided to create a product in the video/film area of media more specifically a film trailer. I
decided to do this as this is the area I am most interested in and also enjoy the most therefore I will create the
best possible product I will make. My product is about a young girl who just gets a regular Uber home however, it
is her unlucky day as her driver takes an obsessive liking to the girl and stats to follow her around and stalk her
everywhere she goes. I decided on a stalker thriller trailer as I had a clear idea of what I could create and I knew it
would be achievable to make it with the resources I have.
Why? Because my product is a thriller, the main purpose of it is to create intense suspense. I will do this taking
different techniques I have learnt from existing products and include them in my product. This includes
techniques like a tone change half way through the trailer. This create an immense amount of suspense as it
catches the audience off guard. As well as that, the music in the trailers create a very tense atmosphere. This is
done by including a music change of increasing the volume of the music. Sound effects that are added f the top of
the music to create suspense also work perfectly therefore I will include many of these in my final product.
Who is it for? My target audience is the older generation. This is because whilst doing audience research, I found
out that people aged 50+ much prefer thriller films to the younger generation. My product will attract both
genders but I will try to target males more than females. This is because my trailer is quite intense and I feel
stereotypically males will enjoy is intensity more than females.
Where will it appear/on what? My product will appear on YouTube. Firstly, this is because it is a very easy
platform to upload videos or products on. This means that I don’t have to stress about m product being uploaded.
As well as that, this YouTube is a very popular platform meaning that if I wanted, man different people could view
my product and possibly give me some feedback on it. This would be good a sit help my future products as I
would pick up different skills and tips from different people. I could then incorporate them in my future projects
making them the bets I could possibly make.

Film summary:
Stalker meets young girl whilst in an uber. He takes a liking to her and tracks her
down. She tries telling her family however, the don’t believe her at first as she is
juts a little girl who is always making up stories. They only start to believe her when
they start seeing him around and this is when they try to escape. They tell the
police but there is no evidence to prove what is happening so the family have to
take matters into their own hands.

16. Pre-production: Locations
For my product, I have chose an array of different locations to fil. Each will add their own unique and important element to
my trailer. Firstly, have decide to film on some quite streets. I am planning to film near my house as not many cars pass
through it. The idea of including a quiet street in my product is used to create suspense. This is because if I filmed on a busy
street filled with people, the audience would feel the character is protected. Whereas, if no one is around and it is juts the
girl and the stalker, the girl appears very vulnerable. This will create a very uneasy atmosphere and leave the audience on
the edge of their seats.
The second location I want to film in is a ginnel. I have easy access to one as there is one less than a minute walk from my
house. I wanted to include a location like this as it is very secluded . This creates an unescapable atmosphere therefore
creating immense amount of suspense. Ginnels are also very quite as not many people walk through them especially the
one I am planning to film in. This creates an even more suspenseful atmosphere as there is no one there to save the girl if
anything goes wrong.
I have chosen to film in a house but more specifically the kitchen and bedroom. This is because the kitchen is a very open
space meaning there is lots of room to film and include characters in. It is also normally right by the door meaning it will fit
perfectly with my story. The kitchen also includes many different components meaning the characters can be doing
something when talking. This creates a more realistic feel therefore adding to the suspense atmosphere of the product. I
have planned to film in a bedroom because it is a very causal room where a large majority of the younger generation spend
their time. This again creates a very realistic feel and makes the product more believable for the audience. This makes the
audience much more engaged in the product.
I have decided to film a short section of the trailer in a car. This will be used when Lilly gets in the Uber and when she is
talking to her mum about her stalker. I have chosen the car as a location because it is a very popular place for parents and
children to talk about events therefore this creates a sense of realism and makes the story of the product more believable.
For my product I have also decided to film just a single shot at a park. This is because when quite, parks can look incredibly
mysterious and abandoned. This creates a very tense and suspense atmosphere therefore, fitting the theme of my product
perfectly.
18. Style Sheet
In my product, I am planning on including quite a dark coloured blue. This is because I am
planning to use a similar tone when doing colour correction in post production. The colour blue
alone creates very negative connotations which will create a very dull and gloomy atmosphere
for my trailer. The fact the shade of blue I have chosen is very dull emphasizes this tone even
more creating an even more dark and negative tone tone to the product. This is good as the
colour scheme of a film reflects the story and the message therefore the fact that this specific
colour creates a very cold and depressing theme means that the products tone is conveyed more
efficiently.
In my product, I have planned to include a grey based colour tone whilst in post production. This
will be achieved by predominantly decreasing the saturation and brightness of the product. I
could also change it to a more grey tone when using colour correction in Premier Pro. This will
create a much more glum feel to the trailer. This would be beneficial to my product as it conveys
the story of the trailer very effectively as it creates a very negative atmosphere. I want this tone
to be portrayed as this will create a much more depressed fell for the audience making them feel
more for the characters. The colour white is also included on this colour palette. This is because
it creates a very plain and emotionless feel. This is good as it reflects the stalker in the trailer and
adds to the overall tone of the product. However, white is also good as some may view the
colour as a sign of positivity. This creates a sense of hope for the young girl Lilly. This leaves the
audience gripped to the product as they don’t know what route the product is going to take. As
well as that, I have included this color palette as I plan to translate its dark theme on to what my
characters wear. I want the main characters to wear quite dark clothes as this will portray the
depressing and negative tone of the product more efficiently as there clothes will symbolize the
message of the trailer. Dark clothes will also give the product a very mature aesthetic meaning it
will look more professional which is the exact them I want to be conveyed.
19. Style Sheet
I am planning to include a similar shade to this colour palette in my trailer. This will be used for
any sort of trees or grass in the background of the trailer. I have decided on this specific shade
is as it very dark meaning it adds to the negative tone of the product and fits in perfectly with
the other colour tones. However, I wanted to include an element of slight brightness in my
product. This is because it creates a sense of hope and positivity for the characters. This will
create a more tense atmosphere for the product as it will leave the audience one edge for what
might happen in the product. This pallet of colour also still includes the dark colours of black
and grey. This is because the product must still include its dark colour to enforce the theme I
want to portray. These dark colour are the most significant element to create such a negative
and depressed tone.
I have included this specific colour scheme on my style sheet as all the colour included highly
enforces the theme of my product. The black suggests the idea of death and negativity which
creates a very dark atmosphere for the product. The colour grey creates some very negative
ideas. It portrays the idea of loss and depression. This idea fits perfectly in my product as this
creates a very dark and mysterious atmosphere leaving the audience on the edge of their
seats. The colour grey also however suggests balance which is needed in the product. This is
because we want there to be a glimpse of positivity in the trailer. This is so the audience feels
hope and optimism towards the characters. Overall, this creates a much more suspenseful
atmosphere as the direction of the product isn't clear.

22. Contingency Planning
●Potential Issue ●Solution
● The computer might crash ● I will make sure after every lesson that my
work is backed up onto either a memory stick
or One Drive. This is so I always have
multiple versions of the same file.
● If College is closed for the day ● Make sure all worked is backed up. This is
so I can access my work whilst at home.
● If I can’t get into college because if illness
or personal reasons
● Make sure I can access all my work from
home by backing it up whilst in college.
● If the weather changes and it starts raining ● I will get under the nearest piece of cover
and then wait for the rain to stop. I will make
sure the camera is in its bag to prevent any
damage.
● The public constantly getting in the way of
my shots
● I will make sure I chose quite a quite
location for the majority of my shots. If filming
in a busy area, I will not film at peak time as it
will be quieter then.
● The weather is too bright/too dark to film in
to portray the correct tone
● I will wait for the weather to change or if it
isn't a massive change then just correct the
colour tone in post production.
23. Health and Safety
●Potential Issue ●How will the issue be
avoided?
● Falling over chairs that have not been
pushed in properly
● For this to be avoided, make sure when you
leave the room or your computer, your chair
is pushed in.
● Spilling water ● If possible don't take it out your bag, but if it
as to be don’t leave it near the computer and
always make sure the lid is screwed on
properly.
● Pulling out wires ● Watch where you are putting your feet as
you may kick some out under the desk
● Falling over tables ● Make sure you are watching where you are
going and make sure all the walkways in the
room are clear enough to walk down.
●Getting a headache from looking at your
computer to much
● Don’t have your brightness on its maximum
and take a few breaks from looking at the
screen.
