Idea's for Soundtrack

London Music Works – Requiem For A Tower

ES Posthumus - Pompeii

E.S. Posthumus- ARISE

These are idea for how I would like my soundtrack to sound when the action builds in the trailer. As you can hear with both of these the music has upbeat parts and parts where it is calmer. This could represent the action and what is on the screen in the trailer.

I think that the third one would suit my trailer the most as the music builds more and more as it goes through like the action in my trailer. I like the dramatic feel these soundtracks have which would work with the genre of my trailer as it is thriller.

Start and End of Trailer - Idea's

Start of Trailer

As I pointed out in my previous post most movie trailers have production companies and distributor screens at the beginning of the trailer/ film. This can sometime boost the reputation of the film as if the company is associated with a previous popular film then people might be more inclined to watch the new one. I have made my own screen for the beginning of my trailer. This is only an idea and for my actual copy I will improve the quality and make it look better as a whole.

End of Trailer

I have based this idea on my story board. I talked about how i want a black screen to appear then the audience hear a gun shot. I have decided to link this in with how my film title appears. The audience will see the two people with the gun before a black screen appears and a gun cocking will be heard which will be the trigger for just the title of the film. Then the audience will hear a gun shot and the blood will appear. This adds to the tension of the trailer and the audience will be left wondering what has happened and be more inclined to watch the film.

Production company Idea

Company Logo:

Screen for beginning of Trailer:

I used the paramount and the Universal logos as inspiration for my own production company. Although the screen/logo I have produced has no relation to the fiolm I feel it will work out fine for my trailer. the dark background will relate to the dark theme of the trailer.

The start of my Trailer...

This green screen is shown at the beginning of most trailers. It is like a license to say that the trailer is appropriate and has been approved to be shown for the audience stated on the card. I am only using this as an example and I will make my own for the start of my trailer to make it look more realistic.


These are examples of production and distribution companies that have helped with the film. These screens are shown at the beginning of a film but can also be shown at the beginning of a trailer to shown who have helped with the film .





Universal and paramount are two of the main companies I used as example.

They both have animated screens that play at the beginning of the film or movie trailer. i have also chosen these two to base mine on and use as examples because they are associated with alot of thriller/action films.

Text Ideas for Movie Title

This was my first idea for the text design for my movie. After asking peers and thinking about my movie trailer and what it involves I think they font is good for a thriller movie but not the back ground.

The feedback I have had for this font is that people like the idea but it is a bit hard to read for some people.







I like this font as it looks more serious and appropiate for a thriller film.






My peers have chosen this as the best font for my movie trailer. the red on the text relates back to the last scene of my triler with the gunshot that is heard. I have though about this and I might have the blood appearing on the text when the gun shot is heard at the end of the trailer.

Setting - Location's

I am aiming to film my trailer in four main and completely different locations. I want the contrast between the two main lcoations to represent the different type's or action and feelings related to the main character.

The first of the locations will be a ordinary housing estate. This I choose to represent how the main character has moved on from the events of the past. It will show how normal his life has become and how ordinary his life has been. I plan to show the main character walking out of the house and down to the local town. Although before he goes anywhere I plan for a flash back to be shown when he the main character reaches the end of the gate. When the flash back ends he will still be standing still and this will lead to the second location.

My second location will be the town centre. Two scenes in the trailer will be set in the town centre. One of which will be in the day and one will be at night. It will show the main character thinking about the flash back he had and looking upset. the audience will still be wondering about the flash back and what it meant. Another flash back will also hapen in the location and will show more of why he is upset.

The second time this location will be used is at night. The whole trailer will turn and at first it was rather calm but the action will all kick in and it will show the group of people seemingly attacking the main character. But this again makes the audience question over why the group of men are interested in the main character.

The third location will feature the flashbacks to the night where the whole trailer film is based on. It will show a group of people camping in a forest and it will also feature the murder which happened in the flash backs.

It will show a contrast to how serious everthing was in the other locations and how much fun the friends are having here. It will also show a contrast in the main character and how happy he is with his friends but how much his life has chaged in the years after the events of the third location.

The fourth location will be a dark room when the audience will get some clue to why the group of people want the main character and what happened for them to need him.

Other scenes will be shot in these locations. For example when the main character has escaped from the room he will be seen running to and from some of the locations.

Structure Idea for my Trailer

I chose this trailer to show the structure of how I want my trailer to be. I like how all locations are shown in the trailer and flash backs are shown in black and white. When the action is on the soundtrack plays which makes the action seem even more intense. But then we see him walking across a desert and the sound track calms down.
