This document outlines a plan for creating a research-thriller film trailer. It discusses choosing the thriller genre to be different from social realism films. The main themes will be good vs evil. The trailer will have a fast pace, edits/transitions for suspense, and intertitles to set the scene. It aims to give audiences visceral pleasure and sell the film through suspenseful edits and action shots. Considerations include not overcomplicating the trailer and achieving dramatic shots may be technically difficult.

5. THEMES
 The main theme that we plan on doing is
good vs evil

6. NARRATIVE STRUCTURE
 On the whole thriller trailers are very high
paced with lots of edits/transitions which
create suspense and tension for the audience.
 Lots of intertitles which set the scene for the
audience
 The trailer is bold and stands out usually the
clips shown contain a lot of action in a non
linear sequence

7. RAYIONALE FOR CHOICE
 We wanted to do something different and
thought that their weren't many social
realism films out their
 Watch a lot of thrillers and are generally quite
interested in the genre

8. WHAT WE INTEND TO ACHIEVE?
 We want the audience to have visceral
pleasures when watching our trailer and to
sell the film to them
 We can achieve this by having fast edits
which create suspense
 We also plan on containing a lot of action
shots

9. WHAT WE NEED TO CONSIDER
 We don’t want to over complicate the trailer
and have too much going on as we feel that
the more simple trailers are the better ones
 In terms of technical aspects it is going to be
hard to get some of the shots that we want to
achieve as some could be quite dramatic
