A new plan

In the last few lessons as a group and with our teacher we decided that our idea for our teaser trailer wasn't good enough as many romantic comedies consist of having that unique element that makes it different and contributes to the humour. We have discussed many different ideas with our teacher and as a group. In our new planning we have kept the genre as a romantic comedy and kept the same two main characters as a young girl and boy which is a main convention of a rom-com film which we have decided to keep. By having a new idea for our teaser trailer it meant we needed to rethink our posters and magazine front cover but as our pictures were quite simple and with a slight improvement we made them more current to our teaser trailer and the message we were trying to portray. The new idea that we have decided on is quite uncomplicated but effective, we wanted to have the typical boy and girl romance which makes a romantic comedy film but to add to the comedy part of it we have decided to have the boy as very clumsy, awkward and humorous.  This would contribute to the funny and humour side of the teaser trailer. The main aim of our teaser trailer now is to have the young boy being very clumsy and this being the reason why he losses the girl he loves. This is a typical rom-com narrative but with a diverse twist to make it unique and different from others. As a teaser trailer is very short we needed quick, effective and eye catching clips which would hook an audience and portray the right message to the audience, which is a boy losing the girl he loves through his clumsy actions and the cliff hanger of does he win her back. This message will be portray in our teaser trailer, poster and magazine in order to hook the audience and make them want to watch the film.
The next step was to brainstorm significant ideas on how the young boy can be portrayed as clumsy and how we can portray him loosing the girl in a matter of seconds. We decided on showing a montage of clips which would show him being clumsy and embarrassed to the point where he loses the girl and the question of will he win her back???
The ideas we came up with included:

·         Him spilling a drink over her

·         Embarrassment at a dance or in a dance lesson (he steps on her toe)

·         In a car where a romantic scene would normally take place he accidentally put on the handbrake and the car roles back.

·         An accidental tap on a car when he is trying to look cool ends up in an alarm sounding and embarrassment from the young boy.

·         Being clumsy in front of her friends and making her embarrassed.

We wanted to show a montage of clips which would just show him being clumsy and the hook of the teaser trailer being will he win her back???
