Development On Music

After some consideration and some development in the editing process, I have come to a decision to exclude the song "Ransom" from the beginning of the trailer as i feel it would be more effective to have just the voice over from the character speaking.

Current Status

We are currently in the process of producing the film trailer. I am currently involved in producing the sound for the trailer. I have found the soundtracks that will be used in the trailer. I am bringing together the different parts of the songs for the overall soundtrack.

Filming

We had filmed over 2 days. First during the daytime to capture day shots and the second in the evening to capture the night time shots. The majority of our filming had taken place in Balsall Heath/Highgate, an area which is suitable for the genre of our film. We had also filmed in the City Centre to get shots of the city at night time which are prominently used in these types of films. We had recorded a variety of shots and filmed more than needed so we can have more to choose from whilst editing the trailer.

Genre

Our genre for our film trailer will be Crime/Gangster. This is a genre that as teenagers living in the UK we can relate to this and voice a variety of opinions and express this in the production of the trailer.

Target Audience

Our main target audience will be male, aged 14-25.
We will be promptly aiming to target an audience which can relate to the genre and theme of the film. As the film is about crime in low stated areas in the UK, we would like to target audiences that can relate to the feelings of the characters in the film and who have experienced similar situations. As crime has been a growing problem in the UK in recent years, we would like to portray the consequences of such lifestyle to those who are involved in such events and those who are merging into this lifestyle.

Character Ideas

We would like to have our characters appearing in similar ways to these characters in well known Crime/Gangster films.

Soundtrack

As my main role is to construct the sound of the film trailer, i will be using parts of different songs to create the sound for the trailer.
At the beginning of the trailer, i will be using a snippet from the song "Bomb First" by 2pac (1:05 - 1:13). This will be used whilst the production companies logos are on screen. I have decided to do this so it gives an idea of the genre or type of film the trailer is going to show even before anything is actually viewed.

At the beginning of the trailer, i have decided to use a section of the music from the song "Ransom" by Wretch 32, Bashy and Scorcher (2:28 - 3:10). The music is slow and dramatic and correlates to the opening style of the trailer.

The soundtrack for our film trailer will be the introduction of Giggs' Album Walk In The Park.
This particular song relates to the trailer as it begins slowly building up anticipation, the same as our trailer. The lyrics of the song relate to the main character (Aqib).
