Research and Planning

Knowing our genre, we looked at a variety of trailers. These involved the trailers for What Happens in Vegas, Without a Paddle, Lethal Weapon and Charlies Angels. All of these trailers included a theme tune that depicted a quick paced film, full of action, which is why we are searching for a song to base our trailer around. We also noticed the use of a linear programme, with the action happening in chronological order, with perhaps one or two analeptic shots to introduce characters, or including a comedic shot right after the title but before the credits. We took all of this into account when producing our independent trailers.
We had originally planned to film in Sherwood Forest but with non of the group members having a licence we decided to stay local, relocating to the 5 Pits Trail in Tibshelf, although the scope is much smaller, there are still plenty of trees and space for our requirements.
We have our Shooting Schedule ready, allowing for the time in getting to different locations and introducing props to the set, also costume changes.
