Costumes - The Victim

The victim is young so we didn't want him to be wearing something that didn't suit his age. We wanted to have him look quite fashionable yet has the whole bad boy attitude showing as well. As he if from the good side, we wanted him to wear colors which aren't too bright but show that he is a bubbly kind child.

The following are the clothing's that we chose for him:

• A hoodie which isn't plain but has some sort of pattern on it such as stripes 

• Tracksuit bottoms (Grey or blue)

• Trainers (Black or White)

Costumes - The Antagonist

The clothes that the actors will be wearing and very significant as this also reflects other factors such as their personality or their character in whole. We also wanted the costumes to reflect back on the character so that the audience can differentiate between the two actors.

As the antagonist isn't a good person and is supposed to be someone who does bad deeds and is the evil person, we wanted him to wear dark colored clothing. Colors such as black, brown and dark blue will show this. However we needed to make sure that the costumes are fit for that time period as well such as if were filming in the dark and the actor was wearing a black hoodie then the audience will not be able to tell the difference and wont know what is going on.

These are the items that we have decided would be best for our antagonist to wear:

• A hoodie (Preferably dark blue or grey.) 

• Jeans (Black or grey)

• Gloves (Black - leather)

• Boots (Black or brown)

Casting

For our trailer, we only needed two characters which will be playing in the roles of the antagonist and the victim in the film. When we first started to look for people to play in the roles, we started to experience the same problems as last year and we were unable to find some reliable or someone who is free when we needed them.

We thought that it would be best if we could ask our family members to be in the film as this way we know that we can rely on them without them backing out on us last minute. At first we chose to use my cousin to be in the film as the victim and we had the shooting schedules planned out with him so that he knew which days to help us. However during December, he joined a school in another city and therefore would not be able to help us. We then only had 3 weeks to look for another actor to play the victim. In the end, we used my partners little brother who agreed immediately to play the victim.

The antagonist is going to be played by my partners dad who kindly agreed to be in it as he knew how much we struggle to find actors last year and wanted to help us so that we do not stress over the same problem again. This worked out well with us as we knew we could count on them and not have any problems with our filming schedules and if needed we could film with them again if necessarily.

Storyboard

We created a storyboard so that we know what we will need to do in every scene and can have everything prepared for that scene. This gave us a rough idea of how we are going to plan out how the trailer will look in the end.

Chosen Story Idea

The story that we have chosen to do is The Hood in the Wood. I found that this idea would be quite easy to do yet very effective and appealing if produced right. I thought the plot of the story is interesting and isn't your typical story that you find in every film.

Story Idea - Attack of the Killer Balloons

This idea is about a disease which has been brought from outer space. This disease then spreads throughout the whole earth slowly. It is unknown how it came or how it was started in the first but that it was created by some sort of bacteria. The cause of it is also unknown and as there isnt a cure for it; panic is created all over the world. 


The disease itself bacteria which is in a balloon shape and attacks its victims by the balloon bursting in front of them releasing a lethal toxic gas that burns its victims. Once they are melted they slowly are dissolved and they are also become part of the disease and are transformed into a lethal balloon.  

Shots that we could use: 

Story Idea - The Hood in the Wood

For this idea, we wanted to keep thing simple yet it still blows your mind away. This film will be about strange sightings in a park which no one can tell what they are. This will create panic as people start to go missing and unexplained acts happen. When people try to capture images with their cameras, nothing shows up but a black smudge.
