The music we are going to use for our trailer is Super Sharp Shooter/Borat by Glitzy Bag Hags. We thought this music would be effective and humorous, because it is a parody of the Borat music.
Our target audience is everything from 12 to 1200 - it's pretty much a universal film, easy to understand. Gender, ethnicity, region, sexuality and social groups are not really relevant to our target audience.
It will appeal to the audience because the scenario (being locked for a long time in a temporary block) could happen in real life to any of the audience and it is not unbelievable. It will appeal to this specific audience because of the reality, the fear, the suddenness and the claustrophobia of being trapped in a small space.
The characters we feature are teenage students and a caretaker. The main theme is the idea that 'it could happen to you!' The Borat music will be attractive because of the comic relief.
While researching to make this trailer, we have studied trailers for the films Buried, The Others and Funny Games. Over the next few days I will be adding a FAIR analysis for those films, as well as one on Empire magazine.
In class, we made mind maps of what colour, animal and feeling creativity takes the form of. I was going to scan that into this blog, but unfortunately I don't know how to do that, and I haven't had chance to find out how. I can tell you what I thought though:
Colour: green, because green is a fresh colour. Being creative will create a fresh atmosphere for the creative person, and make everyone else green with envy.
Animal: mouse, because mouse isn't usually the first animal you think of, and I think being creative means thinking outside the box.
Feeling: passion. I can't describe why this is, because the reasons should be obvious, but different for each person.
