Trailer Neature Walk

1. Trailer
Name: Neature Walk
Genre: Action-adventure/Post-Apocalyptic/Comedy
Content: Green band splash screen.
Logo animations of film studios (20th Century Fox, Universal?) and ‘PotatoSaLAD Pictures’.
Stock clips of riots usher an apocalyptic vibe. Coupled with non-diegetic ominous music (Escape by
Tom Holkenborg (Mad Max).
Insert of text - ‘The M.A.D theory states that full-scale use of nuclear weapons of opposing sides will
result in complete annihilation.’
An insert shot of a sign saying ‘The end is near/neat’ – foreshadowing.
Insert of text ‘The resulting environment will be left in ruins. The ideals of the previous world will be
lost. Society will turn into chaos.’
Crescendo of the non-diegetic music.
Uplifting song - (Daydream by Günter Kallmann Chor). High angle establishing shot - Dead Bradley
with Stephen is taking his stuff (both dressed in Mad Maxy costume). Tilt and pan up to Stephen
running away, shortly before being blown up by a mine (VFX). Camera pans 90 degrees to the right
and reveals the apocalyptic landscape of Skab. Matte background of image edited in After Effects.
Mental state of characters can be represented through shots angles, lighting and mise en scene.' Tilt
and pan off Stephen running after taking dead Bradley’s belongings, emphasizes the desperate state
and fear in the world.
Insert of text - ‘To restore order in this apocalyptic wasteland it will take two unlikely heroes. Those
heros are…’
‘Lenny!, Rodney!’ The two… ‘heroes’ are fleeing from some undesirables in a shallow focus wide
shot that uses a focus pull to show the distance between the heroes and the villains.
Cut to conversation between Lenny & Rodney and leader. Low angle of the leader of the gang, this
promotes the idea of power. He needs to represented as the strongest character in the room. This
means that slight high angles of the protagonists will be used to show they are weaker than him (shot
reverse shot). Lenny has power over Rodney so should be kept on the left side of the shot/reverse shot
and on the 1st vertical line of the rule of thirds.
Something funny occurring behind the leader? A henchman of the leaders loses control of their sub-
machine weapon and everyone runs away. Leader turns and shoots the henchman. (VFX)
Lenny and Rodney embark on creating a video, it goes inadvertently wrong.
The trailer ends with a diegetic, asynchronous gunshot with a black screen. Gunshot echo fades then
dialogue ‘That’s pretty neat.’ - reverb, echo effect.
Cast: Matt - Lenny Pepperbottom, Stephen - Rodney, Bradley - Shooter Guy, Dead Guy – Charlie
Bolding, Leader – Charlie Bolding.

2. Plot: The Untitled Gang commission two slightly dumb, rogue mercenary filmmakers; Lenny and
Rodney to make a nature tutorial because the members of the gang keep getting themselves killed in
the harsh environment, in very stupid ways. Lenny and Rodney create the PSA,and they are
inadvertently bogus.
