I have created the story boards for the teaser trailer of what is going to happen but while filming I am going to try as many different angles to see what works best for the teaser trailer. I may change my mind with what shots I am going to include in the final piece. These are first drafts of the storyboards.
I have been working on the plot of the romantic comedy for the past week and I have finally decided what it is I am going to do for this.
At the beginning it would be two people who do not know each other that well to end up becoming the best of friends who do everything together until, one of them has to move away. This changes everything for both of them. A few years later however, they meet again when he comes back. This sighting re-embarks the feelings he had for her and he tries to find her again to win her heart. It turns tricky for them when he turns up at her house and she instantly recognises him. This is an issue for her as she has a boyfriend but he is away but instead of telling him, she starts seeing him but just as friends first, to eventually one thing leading to another. To the climax as to where they would finally have there first kiss but are interrupted when her boyfriend rings her/ texts her. This is the point in which I have decided to end the trailer at due to if it was made into a film this would be another turning point in the film and should be a good way of getting the genre across and anticipates something big is going to happen. Therefore I am going to stick with this at the moment and continue with the storyboard and eventually do a first run of the shots to see if it works. If what I done, does not work for any reason I will change it where ever seems appropriate. I might need to extend what I have written for the plot as at the moment it is a bit minuscule but will probably be developed at a later stage after first shooting. I will also be looking at other trailers for instance LOL as it seems the most relevant to my idea. I have decided to create a mood board of all the associations there are with a romantic comedy. I did this at AS and found that it helped with the planning stages of the project and figured I would do the same for the teaser trailer. However, this time I have decided to take the pictures myself that represent the genre. By doing this, it will not only help create the mood board but help with my ability to focus a shot, as this caused a lot of issues last year and I want to avoid having these issues this year, so I am going to do as much camera work as possible for both images and video work. I have decided to create a mood board on Pinterest which will be an on going process of adding to through out the coursework.
The genre I have chosen to base the trailer on is a romantic comedy. I do watch quite a few rom-coms and so I am familiar with this type of genre. Iwill continue to look at other trailers to get ideas from and to help produce the trailer.
To help with the generation of my idea I decided to go on IMDB looking at a list of romantic comedies which I could then look for the teaser trailer of them. So far by doing this I have come up with a couple of ideas which will be uploaded later on.
The IMBD site I have been looking on: http://www.imdb.com/search/title?count=100&genres=comedy,romance&num_votes=10000,&title_type=feature I will continue to look at the teaser trailers to some more of these teaser trailers, to with finalising my ideas I have decided to create a mind map on Bubbl to show my decision making and how it has impacted on the choice I have decided to go ahead with.
