Story Boards

Below are the story boards that show exactly what will be in each shot of the trailer. When I have things visually sketched down on paper and out of my head it makes me feel a lot more organised. These are not final, its more of a guide because if I have new ideas that pop up which I prefer I would include them also. I don't need to follow these storyboards  precisely but they are a good guideline. If a shot was not possible due to a change or a problem, then I would have to take them out and not include them. theses are all things that I need to be thinking about in order to be organised and to have a successful film trailer. 

The first two shots are shots of the city sped up at sunrise, it introduces the London setting and shows the busy city life in the morning. Shot 3 adjusts the setting of the 'streets' it shows the rough and dangerous part of London with a establishing shot of a tower block, this contrasts nicely with the shots of London that are more stereotypical and common within the media. The next shot shows the main character looking over the top of a building at a view of the city, he is thinking into the past which are shown in the next to shots, a child picking up a gun in a bedroom, this is the main character as a child and this is where the voice over will come in. These two shots will also be slowed down. The sound track that goes with these shots will be soft and peaceful to juxtapose with the following action shots with a rap soundtrack. Shot number 7 has been designed to create a kick or a jump in the trailer, it shows a car rushing into an area with a gun being pointed out the window.

The rest of the shots are fast pasted and contain a lot of action, they set the mood of the film and I have been careful in what I'm including as the purpose is to attract a large audience and to reach out to the audience I'm attempting to target. The focus a lot on the main character and action shots with guns and other weapons. Shot number 12 shows an expensive Ferrari driving out the front of a large house, it conveys the themes of money and power included in my film. This is a shot that I have managed to organize with a friend. This shot should make the trailer seem more professional and industry standard. After this are a few more action shots which include a close up of hands in handcuffs followed by the final shot were the music cuts off and a gun is pointed directly at the camera, the film title then appears synchronised with the sound of  a gunshot.
