Planning and Preperation

My Ideas:




For my film trailer i have deconstruced myself in order to understand my personal influences. By studying this i am able to see that through time the main tv programs and films that have influenced me are films of a supernatural genre. Films that mainly are about vampires and the dead i find particually interesting and i find that this interest has come from being young. Watching programs such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Charmed. I similarly now find myself watching programs such as Vampire Diaries and True Blood. My favourate films are also of a similar genre, being the Twilight Saga. These films and Tv programs are bassed on the idea of the existance of vampires.

However they are potrayed in various different ways. They have different ideas incorperated into each film and Tv program to show different beliefs of the existance of vampires.

Most of the current vampire films are very americanised and are bassed around romance. They also cover the story of there existance and show how they are interprated by different writers and directors to show to the audience.
In the Twilight Saga the vampires are seen to be extremely mysterious. They are represented by there pale skin and the colour of there eyes. They are also unable to walk around in sunlight so depend on living in Folks to hide there identitys.


The Cullens:

Edward Cullen

The Volturi

               

James' Coven

Laurent James and Victoria          

These characters are represented within the film with dark skin and different coloured eyes. They stand out from the humans greatly however they still have the ability to blend in. You are able to see from the representation of the characters what sort of personality they have. For example Edward Cullen is the main character, who is alone until he falls in love with Bella Swan, a human. The Volturi are the leaders of the vampires, they are regarded as Royalty. They enforse the rule that they must hide there existance from humans. They are also feared by the Cullen family as there rules and regulations go against the relationship between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.

James' coven are what the Cullens fear, they are going against the Cullen family in order to hunt down Bella and end her existance. They are made to look like hunters, therefore making them look like the enemy so that they are feared. Victoria is the enemy throughout the films who is seen to be a red hairs cat-like character.

By studing these characters i am able to see that the way that this film is placed together and the way that the characters are represented is similar to what i wish to produce. However my final idea is bassed upon the British existance of vampires, making a change to the Americanised interpritation of vampires that are shown in the media now.

My film will be bassed upon the stuge for existance of two young vampires that lives within the woods, an legend from around the area. However she had been in hiding for a long time. My film trailer will show that the film is bassed upon the struggle for existance and also what happens when a vampire trys to lead a normal life.

There will be various different problems that arise through this journey such as what happens when you make friends, when the secret of your existance is becoming known. What happens when they fall in love, and the stuggles with family.
