new teaser poster

this is the teaser poster but with the new name to our film. (poster made by Charlie Blackmore)

Name Change

Changing the name.

Our original name for our trailer was the job. But after careful consideration we decided to change the name to best fit our film and make it sound more interesting.

These are some of the names we went through:

From the video you can see what name we went with The Forgotten Man

Final Title

This is our final film title. This is the finished product with the edit and effects that we will use in the file edit for our film trailer.

title research

Choosing the right title style is key in a trailer as its like you are giving the audience a message that tells them what the film is about and what they can expect from the film. Because this is an important thing we had to look into some possible title styles and effects that we could use.

poster

This is a mock up of a possible poster for our film "The Job". This poster wouldn't be a main poster as it does not give out a lot of information about the film. It would be a teaser poster to promote the film as it gives the name, one shot of an actor in a scene and says "in cinemas soon" but does not give anything to specific.

Music and Sound

Music and Sound.

We have managed to get a band and musician to provide us with music for our trailer. This is good for us as it is all his own work or covers that have been changed which means we will not encounter any legal issues when putting them in our trailer.

Also, we will be using garage band to make some of the music our selves. this enables us to adapt the music to the edit once it is all done and means we can sync the two together. this helps make it all fit and flow naturally rather than sounding and looking like its all be thrown together.

introduction to characters

This post explains who the characters in our film are and what there role is in the film.

James Ford:

This is the main character of our film. He is ex government who was lost in the field as he suffered an injury that made him lose his memory. Because of this, he lives on the streets of London not knowing who he is and what happened to him.

Boss:

This is the crime boss that wants James Ford to deliver secrete government files to another crime boss. He is a wealthy man who sees himself above the law and try's to take down the government. But he doesn't like to get his hands dirty, so he gets others to do his dirty work and in this case it is ex government James Ford.

Women:

This is the boss's right hand women, she is the one who is told to go and get James Ford and make him do the job they have for him. She is a ruthless character who considers herself to be safe because of her position in the organization yet she has a rebellious side and has the tendency to get emotionally involved with the people that are brought in.

Henchman x3:

These are the people that work for the big boss, they are basically the run rounds and whatever the boss says they do. In the film they are the ones who follow James Ford and make sure he is on track to do what he has been told. It is their job to make sure he doesn't step out of line, and if he does, deal with it.

Government Agents:

These are Jams Ford's team members from when he worked for the government. they are the ones who are trying to intercept the file so that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. They realize who James Ford is and try to make him remember and give up the file but if they cant they have to make the harsh decision of what to do with him as they have been told to get the film by any means necessary.

1st draft of story board

This is our 1st idea for our film. the pictures show a rough outline as to what we want the main story of our film to be. However this will be edited if needed to produce a more stronger story line.

character costume

Main Character :
Start of trailer seen as a poor person: (Tramp) - ( Teared clothes, dirty and not much with him. )
These images show the in depth part of what the character will look like in his costume in the beginning of the trailer.
The meaning of tramp for the trailer is necessary as we need to show how he lives and where he has come from and what he has. This will be shown in the trailer by showing him as a tramp 

The transformation of him coming from nothing to having this opportunity would ideally look something like what you see in limitless where he goes from a man with nothing to a successful businessman.

props

Props

This prop will be needed in our film as it will contain the important documents that the main character is asked to transport and deliver to someone. This picture represents the holder of the file, it will not necessarily look the same as the one shown.

This picture shows a gun, this is because we want the bad guys to have some type of weapon. Ideally this would be a gun as they are gangsters and it would help keep up the idea and also hep the mise-en-scene 

We have a phone on our props as it will be a main focus in some of our shots that we do. This is because the main character is given a phone by the bad guys so that they can get in touch with him and monitor what he does.

plot

Our films main plot is that the main character has a military background but due to an accident on one of his tasks he lost his memory and cannot remember who he is and because he was on a secret task the government has lost track of him and thinks he is dead.

When the gang finds out about his background and they use him to there advantage to deliver a file that holds important information about all of the secret government agents that, in the wrong hands, can bring down the government. They persuade him to do this job in exchange for the information about his past.

As he transports the file he is being followed and then chased by men in suits, who turn out to be the government. Because he cannot remember he thinks that they are the bad guys trying to kill him and steal the file and that he is working for the good guys. 

He then recognizes the symbol that the gang uses to identify themselves and has a flash back of his accident. this is where he finds out that the people he is working for are the same people he was trying to bring down when he was working for the government and that the file he now has is the same file that he was trying in intercept. Once he realizes this, he then try to take down the gang who he is working for now whilst trying to avoid getting killed by the government who still think that he is one of the bad guys.

His big task now is to prove to the government that he is working for them again whilst trying to keep the allusion that he is still working for the bad guys in order to take them down from the inside. 

This is a basic plot that outlines the whole underlining story for the film that we are making our trailer about. This is so that we know the outline of our story so that when we come to making the trailer we know the different aspects that we need to include and the type of story that we need to get across in our trailer.
