Developed Draft ancillary texts

Here two examples of my developed acillary products, in this case i am promoting my film through 'EMPIRE' magazine. First the outiline for the poster and secondly the cover for the magazine.

Costume Sketches

These are the costume sketches for each character of the teaser trailer. I have tried to create costumes that reflect both the themes and mood of the scene as well as the personality and role of the different characters. And the main idea here is to create contrast between the two types of characters in the trailer through thier image and choice of clothing.

Script

This teaser trailer is based on two contrasting scenes which acts as the twist in the storyline. The first scene is a big contrast to the second with the duality of good and bad, and happy and sad/angry.

Scene 1

Two people, boyfriend and girlfriend that are holding hands and walking through a field, in an environment of trees and more fields. It is near sun set so the sky is likely to be very light with elements of orange, to resememble safety and happiness. Nothing startling. They both walk very slowly. The camera angle is a low and the music is introduced. The music is happy and shows no idea of fear or tension.

The next image will be of the two charcters embracing under bed sheets and then quoting "I love you" (Girl) with a reply from the boy "I love you too". They then smile and close their eyes to show there comfort and peace together.

The next shot resumes the flow of happiness of the two charcers. The boy places a camera excitedly on a cuboard in a bathroom. The lighting in the bathroom is light and it holds the typical elements of a bathroom, including a shower, sinks and towels. The camera angle is at eye height and is staionary. The camera angle then changes to a reverse angle of the previous shot. This shows the boy walking back towards the girl after applying the self timer to the camera. The third and final shot of this section is a close up of the camera focusing on its flashing light (self timer) which runs onto the second scene and major twist in the trailer.

Scene 2

The flashing and beeping of the camera then runs onto the same diegetic sound of a hospital support machine revealing the that something bad is or has happening. The next shot reveals the problem with the girl who gets attacked.

The visual is of a dark alley or street with very little light source. The camera angle is at eye height and is in mid shot whilst panning, following the character around a corner with the view of three hooded people (male) in the long shot. The next image is the result of the problem, she is seen falling to the ground in a close up shot, the camera on the floor and then the girl falling into the shot, her head tilted slightly towards the camera, with the hooded characters casually walking away laughing. There is then a reverse image showing the girl being left by the attackers.

The next thing we see is the boy casually picking up the phone and receives the news that his girlfriend has been stabbed by a gang of youths, and that she is luckily in a stable position. The camera angle is lowered to almost floor level and the boy falls into the shot sliding down the wall after dropping the phone. His facial expression then progressively changes from shock to sadness to anger. Each heavy sound beat (which is very clear and distinctive) shows his reflection of their memories and also the disturbing images of her being attacked. These images pop up very quickly overlapping the outline of the boys face.

The boy then runs out of the room in rage, camera panning with him. He then goes to capture the main attacker (he finds out where he is or who he is) and the camera now has the effect of it being held while running, and the suspect is jumped on and some kind of thick bag is thrown onto his head. The suspect is then dragged to a quickly to the floor or into a car and taken to the torture location. The camera is panning again as it traces the movement of the vehicle.

The next shot is of an abandoned house, the insides dirty and dark, and there is a single old chair is the centre of the room. The suspect is thrown into the room, by the boy and ties him to the chair. The lighting is very low and from one source and direction. The boy is now the non-diegetic voice over, he states "Revenge has no more quenching effect on emotions than salt water has on wounds". The Boys says this right next to the suspects face in a close up shot both facing towards the camera.

The torturing begins, the suspect is seen being hit but through the eyes of the camera (camera acting as suspect). He is punched repeatedly and on the last beat of the music to end the trailer the head bag is removed almost revealing his face before the screen turns blank.

Draft outlines of ancillary texts

These are my scanned images of the outine of the magaine cover and film poster. I constructed these layout with a combination of primary and secondary research, with existing products.

Storyboard (Ideas) - Planning

Here are three progessive storyboards detaileng the main features of sound and visual instructions for my thriller/revenge teasure trailer. These storyboards were created bearing in mind the running time of 30 to 90 seconds (which I conducted from my research).

Initial Ideas

Here is an examplw of my initial ideas presented ina brainstorm format. I focused on several aspects of the teaser trailer including storyline, end scenes, links to official film, the twist in the storyline and the results and effects of this.

• My initial ideas for my teasure trailer was an action packed, revenge film, that reflects upon some of today's modern problems throughout our culture.
• The initial genre of the trailer was based around an action, with a class of cultures or people.
• In terms of music, my origional ideas were based on a powerful collection and contrast of music that reflected upon major elements of the film that would really get the audience emotionally involved. I intended upon several different styles of music to reflect the different emotions being portrayed through the trailer, which will be inflicted onto the audince with dramatic effect. There will be a lot of powerful non-Diegetic sound with little pockets of voice overs throughout the trailer to give the audience a deeper insight to the content and narrative of the origional film.
• My intended audience would of been the young adult or teenager.
• The format that I origioanlly planned to produce was in a digital format. The editing process will be done on the latest technology on iMac softwere.
• My time limit for the trailer will run somewhere between 30 and 90 seconds.
• Fesibility will be recorded at the later stages of the production schedule, when looking at locations and formats, and how easy everything is to access in reality. Contacts will be recoreded that could influence my product, and there are many different types of contacts that could help or influence my teasure trailer.
• My initial thoughts on a name for the trailer, was a name that covered a lot of topics in todays society that covered the synomyms of passion and revenge.
• The theme's and styles of this film include passion, revenge, anger, violence and love.
• How is it rationale? It will cover an aspect that everyone will recognise and will gather thier intrests through emphasis of a particular aspect or subject matter.
• My deadline is 26th of Febuary.

My initial ideas for the plot of the teaser trailer were a series of criminal events that included revenge on someone or a group of people. This could be due to an attack or violent act against the main charcters wife/girlfriend or family. It could even result in death. This creates the revenge action theme, that also runs into a passionate sub genre.
