Video production.

For this task I have chosen to work in a pair with my classmate Matthew Elliot. After discussing both our views about what type of video production we should create we both eventually decided on creating a Film trailer, film magazine front cover and a poster for the film.

Our film trailer will be based on a cross over between 'Paranormal Activity', 'The Fourth Kind' and 'The Blair Witch Project'. The narrative we have chosen to create will include an enigma. The narrative will include a group of teenagers venturing out into a local forest with some of the group of teenagers disappearing. The remaining member's of the group then try to discover what has happened to their missing friends. The enigma will be what has taken the teenagers ? Where are they ? Are they alive ? How will the remaining group members find their friends ?

The perspective of the film will be based from the main characters viewpoint. Their personal experiences will be included within the film from their own perspective as we have decided that the characters will be equipped with handheld cameras.

Our filming will be set in a forest. The cast will include stereotypical teenagers to create verisimilitude in order to reflect the age group back to our society. We have chosen to include a cast of 5 people including girls and boys so that the audience, of both genders, can relate to the characters during the trailer.

Our film trailer will be a 'Circe' and an 'Orpheus' narrative. The video production project we are going to create will be a cross-over between sci-fi/paranormal and horror.

The protagonists in our film trailer will be the group of teenagers and the antagonist will be the person/creature(s) which have taken/killed/abducted some of the teenagers. We are yet to decide what has happened to the teenagers who have gone missing, whether a person is responsible for their disappearance or Aliens have abducted them.
