Beth Pollard + Chelsea Marshall.

We have chosen to make a film trailer, with a poster and magazine page

The genre for our film is romantic

Trailers include a selection of shots from afilm being advertised. The purpose of the trailer is to attract an audience to the film, they are usually made from the most exciting, funny, or important parts of the film but in abbreviated form and are usually done without spoiling the storyline.

Romantic films focus on emotion, passion and a couples relationship. Couples can face obstacles, for example finances, illness or someone leaving. Most love films focus on love at first sight, happy endings, forbidden love and final kisses.

Our inspirations for ideas have been Dear John, One Day, The Notebook, The Last Song and The Lucky One.

Timeline of when the couple meet, including when they meet and their dates. At the end we want to have a cliff-hanger ending to our trailer, leaving the audience on edge and wanting to watch more. Our ideas were

A young boy and girl meet in a odd circumstances

They typically fall in love

One of them has to leave, possibly the girl

They break up

She comes back because the boy and her are so in love or because something happens to the boy.

They get back together.

When we are planning each scene and event for our trailer we will need to think about the codes and conventions of Romantic films and include them in our trailer to ensure that our trailer is similar to other film trailers existing today.
