Storyboards.

This was the original storyboard for our main product - the film trailer. We filmed all of these shots first as we knew that we wanted our finished product to look something along these lines. Furthermore, during filming we found some locations that would suit our genre and some shots that would look good in our trailer. We also changed some of these shots around due to audience feedback, some audience members found the shot order a little confusing so we have changed some of the shots around but the trailer still more or less follows this storyboard.

American Gangster Trailer

The American Gangster trailer has many close ups of action shots - implying it is an action film. The voice of the trailer is a line from the actual film and fits in well with the shots playing along with it. However, the non-diegetic music playing over the trailer is not a convention of the action genre, but later on in the trailer the music turns solemn and sad which implies that something sinister is going on which reaffirms the action genre. The conversations that are chosen out of the film to feature in the trailer are also sinister conversations and news coverage talking about drugs being the public enemy number however, right after that shot there is an advertisement of drugs by Denzel's character talking about his merchandise - Cohen's moral panic theory would suggest that this trailer may influence people to take drugs, making the media the folk devil in which to blame people taking drugs on.

Risk Assessment
As we filmed in a woods for some parts of our trailer we had to make sure that pathways were clear while doing running shots. Also, we filmed near a pond and had to position ourselves very close to the water to get the shot that was needed for the trailer, for this we made sure we had a steady, flat platform to stand on so that we or the camera didn't fall into the water. Furthermore, to get the range of high shots that we needed for our trailer we had to stand somewhat above what we wanted to film, we were unable to find a safe spot to film this so we had to adjust the location so that we were standing on a small hill filming the scene below, this made it saver and easier than finding platforms to stack up on top of one another.
