Trailer - Merging Ideas

New Group - Merged Ideas

Tinika and I both had very similar ideas. We were both interested in looking at the theme of kidnapping. We decided this would be a perfect theme for our film trailer and merge our genres to make a hybrid. Tinika's genre was thriller and mine was action therefore, we combined the two. 

It would be about a 17 year old girl that gets kidnapped and is held captive. The trailer will include snippets of before she was kidnapped, the buildup and process of her being kidnapped and the affect is has on friends and family. 

We decided we would have other cast members playing a police officer that receives a call from the distraught friends and family. We decided after a discussion that it is quite difficult to create the character of the police officer without making the characters uniform look fake. We thought a solution for this could be to have a voice over of the police officer taking the distraught call. 

We also decided we would want a relatively small cast, around 5 characters. We didn't want too many characters as it may overwhelm and confuse the audience. 

We both didn't want to over complicate the plot because we wanted to intrigue the audience, not confuse them. 

The film would be of the classification 15. This is due to some graphic scenes and I believe it may help me target a mass audience as people of this age bracket are a lot more interested in films with this genre.
