The film that has inspired our teaser trailer was 'Phone Booth'
It falls perfectly within our choice of genre 'Psychological thriller'
The concept of the main protagonist being targeted and chased by merciless assassin. (good vs bad) (light vs dark)
Our trailer follows the narrative from 'Phone Booth' where the viewers will encounter a breif personailty of our protagonist as a scum to the society, where money, power and fame is his only priority.
We included voice-over for the hidden character in the background to narrate and describe what the protagonist has done and why he should be killed in the process of the chase.
Taking ideas from 'Phone booth' we decided to use voice over in the background to create an effective thrilling experiance, we believe that the technique used, was to create suspense which correlates with the genre really well.
We wanted to use plenty off speech epmhasising the communications between the protagonist and the assassin the same way as in 'Phone Booth' however the phone booth in London is not as wide and open to do so, however a teaser trailer is about showing short burst of scenes and situation avoiding the main narrative and giving away half of the film.
We took plenty of ideas which we were inspired by from 'Phone Booth' to ensure we get a thrilling, claustrophobic reaction from our audience this is by tightly configured chases through the city which has been edited to explains the nature of the genre.
This film made me focus on the concept of editing.
The scene that had inspired me to ensure my film proceeds further is; 'the bank robbery scene chase' when Mr. Pink robs a bank and makes a run from the police and falls into a more massive dilemma shooting the officer in the process and hi jacks a car. The scene establishes a a very well edited scene of a slow camera shot trailing Mr pink as he runs through the streets. We used the same idea in our video were we displayed the assassin in a suit, the camera shots were medium and long range establishing the effort made by the character, this is because we physically see the character manually running and using the energy he has to ensure the scene to be a success. The long/ medium shots allows the whole body to be captured so that audience can see every movement by the character, running and straining himself in the process. It also follows the concept of cat and mouse hence the chase.
