Appling The Conventions Of A Trailer To Bloodshed High!

After coming up with are final synopsis for 'Bloodshed High'we decided to begin planning the trailer by breaking down each scene in a story board, this can be seen below:

To make sure our 'Bloodshed High' trailer is good me and Phoebe added lots of recognisable conventions to help the audience understand what our film is about. Below I have listed some of these conventions:

• The trailer previews the best parts of the film - the initial murder, the revenge killings.
• The audience is introduced to the main characters, and the background of the protagonist
• The soundtrack is urban and helps the audience establish the fact that the films set in London
• The narrative of the film is not in chronological order, we picked out the scenes which have the most impact to generate excitment from the audience.
• The pace at the beginning of the trailer is slow as we wanted to make sure the audience understands the background of the film, however after Shauna is killed the mood changes and the pace increases dramatically
• The trailer ends at a climax and doesnt show the resolution, this grabs the audiences attention and generates mystery.
• The name of our film 'Bloodshed High' will be shown at the end of the trailer, this is because its the last thing the audience will see, and so the name will stick in their head
