Our animatic of our storyboard is a more detailed plan of our teaser trailer. It has all the scenes that we are planning to film, edited with transitions and a song in the background. The storyboard show how the teaser trailer will begin. As you can see we have decided to use 3 different production companies, as in previous research we found that teaser trailers use one main production company in our case we will be using Universal which is a popular company used by Rom-Coms. We will also be using mine, Rachel & Mercedes' company from last years coursework and Alex's from her trailer she created last year. These will be Jellyfish Productions and Wollf Productions. These companies will be heard with their original sounds in the background too. These will only last a few seconds and will lead into the teaser trailer through the use of a transition. We have decided to do this as we saw that Rom-Com trailers use more than company and this is a convention we wanted to keep. The soundtrack we put in the background is not the song we will use in the actual teaser trailer, but we wanted to find something which would give a good idea of what we will be using and will be trying to portray to the audience.
Throughout our teaser trailer we will be using a few different questions/phrases which will help the audience to understand the meaning of the trailer, the narrative and to hook them into watching the film. We also found that other Rom-Coms such as Love Actually and Valentines Day use this convention, which helps to hook the audience in. After the prodution companies the first title that appears is 'He found Faith'. This will be in Pink and Blue, as this is the themed colours of our teaser trailer, poster and magazine as they suggest a boy and girl and are also typical romantic colours used in Rom-Com films. We used this phrase as it suggests that the young boy thought he found his true love, it also grabs the attention of the audience and hooks them in. At this point the background tune will begin, making the trailer more romantic and add a romantic atmosphere for the audience.
After the first title this will then lead onto the first clip we will theme. We are planning to film quite a few scenes, which will all be a few seconds long to make it more a teaser trailer rather than normal trailer, and to give it a fast pace and hook in the audience. The first of the clips is off them taking a picture of themselves with a camera outside of the cinema. We decided on this simple first clip as we wanted to show them as a couple and introduce the two main characters, also this is a typical action which couple do and would easily suggest them as a couple. Then leads onto the second title which reads 'But he was hopeless'. This will be in the same themed colours, and will suggest to the audience the enigma of the teaser trailer which is their break-up and do they get back together or not. It will also target the audience perfectly as they will interested and want to know more.
This then leads onto a quick montag of clips which illustrate how the young boy is hopeless and how he may loose his girlfriend over his uselessness. These will be quick and precise which will keep the audiences attention. This montag of clips will start with him falling out of bed maybe knocking over an alarm clock which will be located in his bedroom. We decided on this as it is a simple thing that he does clumsily and adds to hopelessness of his character. This will target our audience as they will find this funny and will be hooked into the comedy and romance of the teaser trailer. The second clip is of him knocking over water or a drink onto a picture of them two together or a card he gave him. We decided to use this as it shows how useless he is with his girlfriend, and we wanted to have one specific clip which would show his clumpsyness and how it effects her. This clip will be located in a kitchen as it illustrates the everyday activity that is taking place and how he ends up messing it up. This will then cut to the third clip which is off him accidentially letting a door go which will hit her and cause her to get embarrased. This will be filmed at school, as it will target our audience as they will most likely be in school thereselves and this may have happened to them. This montag of the clips will the fast paced as to grab the audiences attention with a catchy soundtrack in the background to illustrate the clips and add to the genre as Rom-Com.
This will then lead onto a title which will read 'She'd had enough'. This will represent how the hopelessness of his character portrayed in the earlier clips has led to their break-up. This will hook in the audience and make them want to watch the film.
We wanted to link this title to the young girl, so we wanted a short clip at the end with her sitting on her bed crying with a picture of them. We will have her tearing up the picture, which is illustrating how she has had enough of their relationship.
Lastly this will lead to the title of the film which is 'Loosing Faith' and then 'Coming Soon'. We decided to use coming soon not a actual date as many teaser trailer we have previously watched dont give away the date of release as it is made a long time before the actual trailer is released. This will be in the same themed colours as the rest of the titles which is pink and blue.
