the main outline of the trailer - Blood Money

Our movie is an action thriller which explores the life of the two main characters, played by members of the group and how they get caught up into a life of money, drugs and armed robberies while living in West London. The trailer will last for about 2 minutes and will give a brief overview of the plot. This is where we hope the audience will get pulled into the movie, and once they are engaged we will show a sequence of fast paced shots in quick succession which will reflect the genre of the movie and the action scenes involved in the movie. The opening of the trailer will start of slow, and we will include a soundtrack which reflects the pace of the shots and the things shown in the shots. This will enable us to attract the audience and we have chosen to use a voice over to give away most of the narrative while shots are shown to the audience. However once the trailer reaches the climax, which is where the main gang leader offers the two main characters a position to work for him, the soundtrack will fade away and another one will begin. The new soundtrack will be played to reflect the quick past of shots which are shown and all the action involved. We aim to leave the audience intrigued by ending the trailer with the phrase 'coming soon', wanting them to come see the film in cinemas across the country. The title Blood Money was chosen as it reflects the way the gang operate in the underworld business which the two main characters realize, and that they get their money from committing crimes such as armed robberies in shops, selling drugs and even weapons. Some of the content will be shown but we will use props instead, so there is no misunderstanding if people think we have actual guns or drugs. The audience will be able to pick out the dramatic irony in the trailer, as the two main characters will show the audience that they realize how the gang achieve their high status and money, but they don't want anything to do with it, but throughout the trailer we will begin to see how the characters become influenced and transformed into something that the main leader has never seen before, and how they plan to take over the gang's traditional business.
