Research & Planning - Costume Ideas

Our film 'Sub-urban Nightmare' will be based around the suburbs of London, stereotypically the teenagers are fairly fashion conscious. In the particular area we are filming and basing are film in its certainly not at extremely affluent area however are wealthy enough to be able to afford up to date clothing. Here are some images of the kind of clothing our actors will wearing, fashionable yet not big designer branded clothing.

Black trainers, however when filming the trainers we will use will be scruffy to represent, the more lazy , un-groomed appearance.

Standard black jeans, nothing to stand out too much, jeans faded again to represent that's there not brand new, however they don't have holes or anything to shabby looking.

Finally, this hoodie represents the street life style of the individuals, and portray a urban teenager. As apposed to a upper class adolescent.

Research & Planning - Sound 6

We intend to use some already established skills of the group on the software fruity loops to create our soundtrack for the trailer. Intending to create a fairly high paced meldoy, with the aim of creating as much tension in the short time we have available. Below is a picture of the software.



We'll also need to consider, ensuring we are concise in what we say as we only have a limited amount of time for diolougue within the trailer. The teaser trailer is only designed to grab the audiences attention, therefore its important we have got to say something catchy, and leave the viewer wanting to see more.

Research & Planning - Feedback

After doing my power point, my group and I received the following feedback:

• Set the trailer up as an Action film then at the end introduce the factor of a Urban film, the action will get the audience excited and involved, the deeper storyline can come later. This leaves the viewer at bay however intrigued to watch more.


• A highbrid genre would consequently mean my trailer would be very post modern, meaning I would have a lot to discuss in my evaluation.


• For the possible scene at the end where Myself and Max have a fight, we have fake blood left over from last years media piece to improve realism.


• Our choice of music has to be very specific, a slow melody can be used if there it builds into a crescendo, else a fairly fast paced beat is needed to empathise on the first tempo.


• Look at certifications. If my film is going to be a 15, what can and cant be displayed?


• The title. We chose, 'Suburban Nightmare' this was approved of by everyone as they agreed it represented our stortyline of these children not quite reaching the brightlights, within the city.
