1. Initial idea (name) Positives Negatives/limitations
Disaster -Due to a ‘disaster’
being quite action
based, the scenes
will be quite
emotion-provoking
therefore will
conform to the
stereotypical drama
conventions.
-There could be a
wide range of mise-
en’-scene due to the
various locations,
different shots will
keep the piece
visually engaging.
-The storyline is
‘dramatic’ in itself
therefore fits into our
chosen genre
effectively.
-To make this idea
possible we would be
using Playmobil
figurines, similar to
what we did in our
trailer remake (Life Of
Pi). Although, this may
mean our shots would
prove challenging to
complete when
movement is required.
-The shots will be
quite static due to the
issue of moving the
Playmobil people in a
professional manner.
We could complete
their movement by
taking photographs
and piecing them
together although this
would prove
challenging and be
time consuming.
-A our chosen field is
drama, I figured after
doing some additional
research that close
ups are used regularly
to portray the
protagonists emotion.
Playmobil people
remain with one
expression, therefore
they cannot connect
with the audience and
will not be as visually
engaging.
Imaginary Friends -The main
characters would be
human, therefore or
instantly becomes
- Casting seems to be
the biggest issue in
the process of
creating this film. As

2. engaging to our
chosen audience,
with a lot of emotion-
provoking scenes,
meaning our piece
will conform to the
stereotypical
conventions of a
‘dramatic’ film.
-The storyline offers
a variety of
twists/turns to take
place therefore
opens up the
opportunities to
using several
different
locations/venues to
film. Which offers a
wide variety of mise-
en’-scene and keeps
the trailer visually
engaging.
-The storyline
conforms to the
stereotypical
conventions of
‘drama’.
we will need to find
two young girls and
two adults who have
enough confidence
and would be willing
to take part in this
time consuming
process.
