Planning - Props

Planning - Costume

Costume is an important aspect of the overall mise en scene within my film.

Protagonist: 

The protagonist will be wearing all black within my film

Planning - Filming Equipment and Software

Other than the props I will need on each of my filming days, I have also created a list of technology (equipment and software) required for throughout the production stage of my film trailer. The range of filming equipment and software shown in my powerpoint presentation below are the main things I will need during the filming and editing processes when producing my film trailer. However, I may decide to use additional equipment when filming (such as microphones and artificial light sources), or a range of different softwares when editing my film (for example, sound editing software, softwares to create production/distribution company idents or film titles).

Although it is likely that I will use some additional filming equipment or different softwares for different stages of the editing process, I did not list these in my equipment list below where I have only mentioned the tools that are required for making my film trailer. Instead, I will mention any additional equipment or software, or changes to what I will use when I come to filming/editing my final product.

Planning - Casting

Within the narrative I have created, there are two main characters needed to make my film trailer possible. Both roles will have to be female to make the concept of stolen identity seem more feasible to the audience; for example, a male character stealing the identity of a young girl would be more unrealistic to that of a girl stealing the identity of another female.
Each girl will have to be around the ages of 15 to 25 in order to make my film trailer relatable to my chosen target audience.

Choosing Cast Members:

Protagonist: Charlotte Underwood (aged 13) 
I chose Charlotte to fulfil my role as protagonist; this is an advantage to me as she has a lot of free time outside of school that I can spend filming her in short notice. Although she is 13 years old and therefore 2 years younger than the minimum age of my target audience, her age will not be revealed to my audience.
Whilst the actor has not done much film work before (in terms of acting), I will not need her to use her voice when she is acting as I plan on having no dialogue within my film trailer. Instead, I will be filming her running away from the antagonist and completing normal activities.
However, she is confident to allow me to use audio of her breathing heavily as though she was running to use over my footage.

 

Antagonist : Molly Braggins (aged 17)
