The document discusses different techniques used in film trailers. It notes that trailers use voiceovers to tell the story and provide credits. Scenes from the film are interspersed with actor/director credits on screen. Key plot points are sometimes conveyed through on-screen text. Dialogue in trailers usually consists of short one-liners from characters. Dramatic camera angles are used to showcase events or characters. The action builds to a climax before ending, as music helps set the atmosphere.

4. Minoo’s idea
The story begin with a new girl coming to the town with her family
In their neighbourhood there is a boy living who fall in love with the girl and
tries really hard to talk to her everyday in school and outside the school but
she has no interest in him and just ignores him.
Once in the school they both accidently bump to each other and their
books and folders drop on the floor
As they were in a rush they pick up each others books and folders and
they don’t realise
When the boy gets home he finds a letter and a pencil sketch of himself
that the girl had drawn in school…
As we are trying to make a trailer there we want to leave the ending for the
audience to decide and how they want to end the movie
5. Ramiya’s idea
There’s a girl and boy who are both in a relationship with each other,
they both decide to go to the park to spend time with each other and
they both in the park spending time with each other, but then the girls
mother must be coming back with the shopping bags and sees then
both in the park, she doesn’t say anything and just walks off home the
girl runs after her mother, and tries to explain herself, but her mother
just stays quite. When they get home the mother calls her father home
as soon as possible, when he gets home the parents both have a
discussion about what the mother saw and all the father says to his
daughter is that who you going o chose family or boyfriend?…
6. Pooja’s idea
Nisha has always been a family girl who listen to her parents and
respects her elder's, but is also a school girl who has really likes
this boy from her school in the same year, the boy Punit has always
been good friends with Nisha has they hanged around with the
same friends so they were bound to be friends. Nikhil was Punit’s
best friend which makes it harder for both of them to get into a
relationship. Because of them two being best friends, Nisha and
Punit did end up being in a relationship which they hid from Nisha’s
brother.
One day Nisha and Punit were together and they went to see a
movie, Nikhil had suspected that there is something going but he
wasn’t sure enough to say so, so therefore he followed Nisha to see
where she was going all the time cause making excuses at home
something was defiantly up. Nikhil saw Punit and Nisha together
holding hands…
when Nisha got home Nikhil had things to say…
7. Final Idea
There's a called Nisha who is new to town and doesn’t know much around the
area and there is also a boy called Punit that has always lived in the
neighbourhood they both became friends and they both decide to go to the
park to spend time with each other and they both in the park spending time
with each other, Punit has always had feeling for Nisha, but because they are
good friends he didn’t want to ruin it by telling her he likes her with. Nikhil who
is Nisha’s brother who is also new to town became Punit’s best friend which
makes it harder for both of them to get into a relationship, even though that
they like each other. Nisha must of wrote a letter about the Punit and put the
letter in her book but then Nikhil see the letter when he was reading the
book, the letter stated how much Nisha likes Punit but cant say anything
because of Nikhil. Nisha and Punit were together and they went to see a
movie, Nikhil had suspected that there is something going but he wasn’t sure
enough to say so, so therefore he followed Nisha to see where she was going
all the time cause making excuses at home something was defiantly up. Nikhil
saw Punit and Nisha together holding hands…
9. poster
We have chosen three different posters to look at , from three
different drama genres.
Now is good
Remember me
Take me home tonight
We want to try and use the tree different ides from each poster to make
our final poster as in the fist one (now is good) these is a focus on
the two main characters in the story and also we want to use the
idea from Remember me to have a story between them as the both
character looking at each other and smiling also we were thinking
that maybe using variety of colours and including the pictures of
other characters in the poster can be a good idea as we can see in
the poster from Take me home tonight.
11. Magazine cover
We looked at variety of magazine covers and we have chosen three
different ones to focus on.
As we looked at these magazine cover we figured out that the focus is
mainly on the protagonist /antagonist
The main character of the movie now is good , Dakota fanning ,is the focus
of the magazine as there is a use of medium shot to show her and her
costume represent her as glamorous and attractive to the audience
On the cover of premier magazine , the main character is presented
through the use of medium shot and this inspired us for our own magazine
cover and the position of the character , however it is not very attractive .
So we decided to look at another magazine cover where the picture of the
character has been put during the scene which makes it interesting and
grabs the attention of our target audience.
