Facebook:
We used Facebook as a good way to communicate with each other about our film trailer ideas. We discussed when and where we should film, who would star in our film and any other information that we needed to know.

USP and Target adueince

USP and Target audience
 
For this part of the planning of our film trailer we decided as a group to use a different technique to broadcast our information, we made a script and recorded the script and then edited it.

The script:
 
USP and Target Audience Script
Our target audience will be interested in current affairs and psychological events that occur in real life. Audiences would view these events across the news and social media which are therefore platforms we can also use to promote our film.
We think that both males and females will be interested in watching our film, as males conventionally enjoy watching action packed films featuring weapons and violence. But females will also be able to relate as it is based on realism as it’s not just a male sport.
Middles class people would be an expected group who would enjoy our film as they’re likely to use their disposable income to purchase cinema tickets. They can also relate to the key message portrayed in the film as they can potentially be in this situation. They are also likely to be a part of a large family and would sympathies with the vulnerable children in the school.   
Young adults will be our target audience as they’re most likely to enjoy the realism and suspense of the film. Young adults are also most likely to visit the cinema in the evening which is a typical viewing time for thrillers as it adds to the overall terrifying experience.
White British people would be most attracted as they can identify with the main protagonist more as he is also of a white background. However students and young adults won’t have the income so the cinema is a cheap activity for them to anticipate for the evening and weekends. They will also enjoy the built up suspense in the film more.

Casting Changes

Casting Changes

We had to make changes to the original character we had planned to use. Fraser unfortunately couldn't be apart of our film because he's acting skills were required for filming another Disney film which clashed with the filming time frame we had. Therefore we used a similar character called Joe, both male characters are the same age, the same height and acting skills.

We still plan to use the same clothing and for the character to play the same part in the trailer that we originally planned. One change we have made to the costume with the new character was that he will be wearing a balaclava, this is to hide the school shooting characters identity. It also shows the audience that this character is the villain in the film.      

This is a photo of the new character who will play the villain in the trailer, like before
he will be named after his actual name because of the research from the film Elephant.
