This has been done because our film is intended to be a
crime/action/thriller movie and shall therefore include
some scenes which are inappropriate for children (e.g.
fight scenes, guns and inappropriate language). However
we are going to make the trailer a 12 so that it can be
advertised to a larger audience.

his mid 20s who has a serious gambling
addiction. In one rigged match he loses all of

9. Title of the Movie

which is a reference to the names on the list that the
audience will see in the trailer.
• The voice will be either a formal woman's voice or a
rougher cockney accent to add to the criminality of
it.
15. Pacing
• The trailers pacing shall be based upon the
music used. It shall start slow with an ambient
piece of movement creating tension and will
become faster as the trailer progresses (also
the music shall be changed to one with a
faster tempo).
16. Special Effects
• Muzzle flare for gun shots
• Blood splatters for bullet hits
• Sound effects to improve the realism of the
fight scenes
