Trailer Idea's and Brain Storms For Actually Course-Work Piece

In lesson me and my class mate who I am working with discussed a few possible ideas for our trailer. These included different genre's of trailer and the factor which we would include in them and any idea's off the to of our heads which we would think would work well in the idea in which we were discussing. Below is one of the brain storms.
Idea 1:   Biking Trailer

• Music- Starts off slow with scenery shots- few logo's/advertisements- suddenly snaps into fast music with quick shots and camera work-every now and then a flash of the director, cast, etc.

• Camera Angles: Lots of different angles-180 degree-shot reverse shot-panning shots-slow motion shots-close ups-tracking shots-different speeds

• Concept/Idea: Rider who has recently crashed and been off the bike for a long time and is now making a come back, following him trough training and events

• Genre: Documentary

Idea's and Brainstorms continued.......


Since last posting this Post, My class mate and I have decided to change our idea, and in quite a drastic and completely opposite way. We have decided, considering what sources, and environments we have available to us, that it would better for us to come up with another idea. This idea was and now is a trailer for a basketball film which would fall under a comedy-fantasy film.

The Idea we have come up with is that there is school basketball team who has a star player whom is very popular in and outside the team. The team also has a helper who assists the coach who simply carries out err ends for the coach and team. However; unknown to the team, coach and the school its self he is actually a very talented player who just has not got the confidence to apply for the team but needs to be on the court in some way as his love for the game is so big.

The idea is that in the trailer the audience gets the image of the two main characters who are the basketball'er and the helper. We plan to do this through a series of shots to establish these two characters and also to portray how popular they are and how they aren't.

After a series of shots and happenings shown in the trailer to achieve this, the plan is to have a shot of the helper on his own on the court after a training session shooting some hoops, unknown to him that the coach is watching, realising that he has a potentially amazing player right under his nose! After this the coach approaches the character asking him to attend the next training session, but not as a helper, but as a player.

The coach then introduces to the team that they have a new player, in which the team is then very curious, but when the helper walks in they just laugh and cant take it seriously. The coach then tells them to get there act together and starts the session. The helper then has more inspiration to do well.

The idea is then to show them all in practise, practically ignoring the new man who they cant seem to accept, showing shots and opportunities being missed because they would not pass to the new man. We also plan to show shots which show the new players awesome talent and team and the better player (to there disgression) realising how good he is.

The team then ends the session in the locker room mocking the new player expressing how its was luck or he put something in his drink etc. Finally the new guy and the better player are alone and the better player squares up to the new guy saying how he will be nothing compared to hm and that himself will always be best.

More shots of the new guy training and becoming more noticed on and off the court will be shown, even him talking to girls who are at first seen to be with the better guy. The idea for The end of the trailer is for tension to be built up to an outcome of a one on one game between the two rivals asking one question.....WHO WILL WIN?
