Claustrophobia Film Poster


I took a shot from the film trailer and edited it using photoshop. I used a radial blur to give the spinning affect used in the background to represent a state of mind that the actor is playing in the film. I have emailed the sundance film festival manager, and the head of film four to ask permision to use the official selection badge, and film four logo on my work to give a more profesional look to my work.

Costume List

For our trailer we have said that our costume will be casual dress for the extr's but for the main actor they will wear clothes that fit with certain stereotypes of drug addicts; Baggy worn out dirty clothes which give's the trailer a sense of realism to the convntions of our audience.

Questionnaire Results


These results have given me a basic understanding of what people like and don't like about film trailers and what they expect to see in one. I can use these results when making my film trailer in order to make it appeal to vast audiences.

Location List



  • Abandoned Warehouse

  • Sam's back garden

  • Pavement by Northway dual carriage way
  • Deyes High School
These locations will give a good effect to the trailer allowing for a specific evironment to be portrayed which can mirror the characters lifestyle. We would like to use a church to film but this would be hard to accuire permission to use.

Prop List



  • HD Camcorder

  • Tripod

  • Chair

  • Protein powder (Used to look like cocaine in the video)

  • Paper

  • Cigarettes/Lighter
These prop's will allow us to give the effect we want in the film for example we wanted to make it look like drugs are being used in the video so that it was obvious to the viewer what the films storyline is about, to do this we are going to use the protein powder sucking it up into a group members mouth to give the right effect for the film.

  • Daniel Lynskey - (Extra)

  • Sam Charlton - (Extra)

  • Brad Johnson - (Extra)

Having all the members of our group together will allow us to pool our idea's together with an outside member (Will Charlton) to give their opinion on our ideas to allow us to alter our video to fit with their opinions.

Storyboards

As a group we designed these storyboards to gather i brief idea of what the trailer would look like allowing use to think of shots, camera angles, and mise en scene which we could use. The finished trailer may have differences depending on what we are able to accomplish while filming.
