Props/Costumes

We only needed one prop and that was the mobile phone, as the mobile plays a key part in our teaser trailer, no phone, no movie. the rest of our props where coming from our enviroment where we actually filmed the shots.

For our costumes, we decided to go with suits, there was the main character, in a suit and the people chasing him where dressed in shirts and tie, this way you can easily identify the main character, through mis-en-scene as he is the only one wearing a suit jacket and the rest are just in normal shirt and tie, also it makes our film look very modern, in the aspect of, the film revolves around a mobile phone, which is new up to date technology, so we had to give the actors costumes which would suit that aspect of the film. suits, shirts and ties are all very 'business' like and when talking about mobile phones you would expect a business man to have a mobile phone, so we where right in giving the actors suits, to go with the business look and the whole mobile phone idea.

Script.

My groups original plan was to include a voice over with the movie trailer, but we have decided not to, as it would not suit our target audience. We feel as though our target audience would be alot more interested if we where to include fast paced music which is up to date. We feel as though a voice over is suited to a more older target audience and may slow the whole concept of the teaser trailer.
