Possible Soundtrack Ideas for my Trailer

These are some of the soundtracks that I found to put as the backing track to my trailer, I think that as i'm pretty sure that I don't want to have any dialogue I need to make sure that the music I choose fits really well to my theme and story line. These are not the only options that I have there are also others, I just need to figure out which one sounds best with my trailer and which one fits with the genre best.

I really like this piece of music it but at the same time it is really dark and mysterious and I think it might not fit that well with my trailer. I don't think that it is fast enough but I really like the tension that it creates so I might try and see if I can speed the piece up.

This is my favorite piece of the three as I feel that it captures what I want my trailer to be like but it might to grand for my trailer and reminds me of superhero movies too much.

This again is too grand for my trailer but I really like the tension that it builds and the way that it gets louder and louder and more intense but I don't feel that it is the right fit for my trailer.

This is defiantly  my favorite soundtrack that I have found so far, I think that the songs lyrics fit perfectly with my narrative and I think that this version of the song is really creepy and the change in pace will make the trailer really interesting.

Settings Mood-board

This is a setting mood board that I made using In-Design. All of the locations are dark and mysterious and are conventions of the thriller/horror genre.

Cast List

Main Character: Lauren Reynolds- this will be the character that has all of the close ups of their face and is the person who has their memories replaced.

Other Characters that I may need to use:
- Jenny Sutcliff
- Jess O'Reilly
- Katie White
- Francesca Jones
- Holly Ward
- Daisy McCammond

These characters will be passing images and may be in some of the scenes but they will not have a main part in the trialer.

Letter Requesting to Film at a Firework Display

Dear the Great Kingshill Residents Association

I am an A-level student from the Misbourne taking media studies. For my media studies coursework I have to make a thriller trailer and one of the locations I need to film is at a firework display and I was wondering if I could film at your upcoming display on 7^th November?

I would only be filming my friends there and the fireworks along with the bonfire. There will be no inconvenience to you.

Thank you

Yours Sincerely

Locations

Most of the locations I would like to include in my trailer are easy to access. This is the list of places that I'm going to use:

• The Sand Dunes in Formby: at this time of year the clouds that roll off the sea look very sinister plus they are not very busy so they will be great to show abandonment. 
• Pine Woods: in the dark these will look very sinister and woods are featured a lot in thriller/ horror films so it will portray well what genre my film is 
• Bonfire Night: there will be a lot of people here and the lighting will be very interesting and creepy
• Shed: I will film this through the trees, therefore making it look like a someone is spying on someone. This is a convention of the thriller genre. 
• Train Station: I want to film when the station is completely empty it will show a sense of abandonment and loneliness

These are the the main locations that I want to use at the moment. As I start filming I think there will be more locations that I want to use and there will also be a lot of locations used for the flickering images. 

Storyboard and Shot Types

To make this storyboard I used a website called "Storyboard that" which is free to use up to 6 boxes so in order to make this I  had to print screen the scenes and put them into InDesign in order to make it this long, I found this website easy to use as it had a search bar to search for the things that you want to put in your storyboard which made it really quick to do, the only issue is that I couldn't find out how to add my own pictures, but I think that in order to do this you had to pay for it therefore meaning that I had to make do with the scenes that the website had preloaded.
