Film idea 3

The third idea for our film is an Action, the reasoning for this is that we both enjoy action/adventure films and would enjoy filming, directing and editing an action trailer, also we felt that the conventions you would expect from an action trailer would be fairly easy to conform to and represent them clearly and effectively.



The plot to this film idea is along the lines of a man with a military background who's brother gets murdered, the film would be following his mission to exact revenge on the men that did it.

Pros
  • Easy to conform to cliche and conventions
  • We are both interested in the action genre
  • We have access to props and costumes
  • We are both aware of the cliches and conventions

Cons
  • Very small budget may make it difficult to produce a quality trialer
  • Some of the ideas we have would require private land which we may not have access to
  • probably the hardest to film out of our 3 ideas

Age of heroes

'Age of heroes' is a film based on a true story, in world war 2, and this information is given to the audience at the start of the trailer. Showing this information is effective at interesting the older male audience as it's historic and based on true events, this makes it more interesting to the older audience as it makes the film seem more relevant and real almost. The film also appeals to the younger male population aswell as it is a war film, the younger audience from about 16-25, are attracted to the shooting and explosions shown in the clip as it is showing the things thye love about other action films.The pace of the trailer is slow at first but it becomes quciker and quicker, this hypes the audiecne up and they are left at the end of the trailer wanting more. The pacing of the clip is effective at attracting the whole of the action audience, but having well known actors that appeal to the different audiences targets the older and younger audiences individually, Sean Bean has been in numerous well known films and in particular films that th eolder audience will have watched, similarly Danny Dyer is well known with the younger audience and having them both in the same film is effective at attracting both age groups' attention. The use of costume in this film is effective as it c,learly shows the time period it i set in.
