Involving gangs- There would be too many people to involve, therefore we may only feature the main character and maybe a few other characters for action scenes. It gives the trailer an impression that there are gangs present within the movie without actually showing them.
Props- Would have to limit them. We couldn’t use a lot of weapons, so we aim to at least show 2/3 weapons and somehow create scenes where it insinuated violence rather than showing the actual violent act e.g. the opening of the Dexter programme.
Costume- Keep it simple= Casual wear i.e. hoodie and trackies
Formal wear i.e. suit, skinny tie etc.
Special effects- Can’t feature a lot of blood, fire, explosions, car chases etc. on a project like this, especially on low budget. Have to make it look typically British with the limited effects- low production value seen in films like: Snatch, Layer Cake etc.
Central character- Focused mainly on him; keep returning to him to avoid the use many characters which could make it look tacky and unorganised + it avoids the use of a lot of action/scripting scenes.
Exposition- Either we give way the plot, but we have to make sure we don’t give away the whole film plot or we keep the audience guessing and intrigued as to what’s going to happen next, but not to confuse them by making it too complicated and surreal. Thinking of using simple visual techniques, rather than telling a story
Plot device- Centred on the main character following him and seeing him maturing and taking his rightful place among the suits; learning valuable life lessons along the way.
Ideas for plot
• Theme of money- Start off with a beaten up car= poor/no wealth – at the bottom of the food chain
• Classic/old style BMW= better car, symbolising wealth and climbing to the top of the food chain
• Or we can have the character coming off a bus/out of crappy car, evolving into better clothes and car
• Maybe able to use clothes rather vehicle- includes one vehicle?
• Ali G type intro for character including a peek at weapon
INCORPORATE COMEDY- typical British gangster film trailers have this
• Scenes- Guy checking himself out in the reflection, then it switches to man shouting at him to get in the car already.
