Possible and Selected Cast

I have created an assemble of portfolios for people to whom I could possibly cast within my teaser trailer. By having a wider selection of people, this will insist on who will suit the characters best, as well as, who contains the largest amount of acting experience.

Claire Gibbons Age 19

Chris Lanham Age 19

Ozzy Morgan. Age 17

Megan Hinton. Age 17

Parys Davies. Age 18

Jordan Haynes. Age 18

In the end, I have decided to go with Claire and Chris as they both are on university drama courses and therefore have the experience of acting and will be easier to work with. Also, as they do not live far away from me, I am able to meet them at almost any time to be able to film my trailer.

Planning Timetable

Treatment

Working Title – With Burning Desire

Estimated Duration – 1minute

Style – My film trailer is going to be the a combination of genre's but i intend to focus more on the Mystery/Romance genre and I will try to create a ghostly feel that is serious but not scary because it’s not a horror movie. An influence for this genre and story would be the film Ghost (1990).

Rationale – This production is relevant to the target audience as the main characters and setting are teenagers at college and this becomes relatable however, it does have a twist to it and therefore becomes an original idea. Its reflective of current media trends as there are many films coming out recently where the main character is either a teenager or relatable to the audience.

Synopsis – Serah Lakin, the new girl at college, is a ghost. However, she doesn't know that she is one and throughout the film she begins to remember and figure how who she truelly is. She meets a teenager called Leo James, who turns out to be pyromaniac and was the person responsible for her death but she falls in love with him. The film resides her development into herself, once again, and her story and trying to find out what happened to her in her previous life.

Intended Audience - Both males and females (2:4), aged sixteen to twenty. They most likely are in higher education and have a high cinematic interest.

Feasibility - This should be a workable project as there is a lack of special effects and with a genre that doesn’t need as much extra props in a comparison to an action or adventure film, it becomes easier to produce.

Format – I will be using the following form of technologies to create my products: Adobe Photoshop: Editing Software (iMovie): Sony HVR-A1E: FinePix S2750HD Camera: Computer (Apple Mac). I will burn the final video into a MPEG4 format.

Budget – I will need to buy some matches for the scene where Leo drops the match on the floor to burn the house down. I will also get my actors to work for free and borrow props and costumes when needed.

Research Into Film Titles and Font types

The name and font of a film can hugely affect its target audience and what genre it is meant to come across as. The fantasy genre usually comes across as, depending on the storyline, either friendly or serious.

As a result of my feedback from the practice video, I did some research into possible film titles and font that should be used in the trailer as this caused a misconception of genre to my target audience.

Because of these results I have used "With Burning Desire" as the title of the film. Also, to make the title look more fantasized I have used the Scorchflash font as the first letter because it relates to the plot of the film and it was the 2nd most popular font chosen by my target audience.
