Editing and soundtrack for Thriller Trailer

When it came to editing our trailer we started by cutting up raw footage. Although the footage is not really relevant to what we are aiming for in the final piece, it reflects the effect wanted and the kind of shots that we shall be using. We wanted short clips to make the film tense and punchy, but also to give a blurry kind of feel where the viewer has to really think to grasp what's going on. We put the whole sequence in black and white to make it appear more grimey and to add to the dark atmosphere we are aiming for. The titles we added read; "One mans mistake...", "Leads to one mans downfall." This makes the viewer want to watch the finished product by giving an uncertain feel. The soundtrack also gives a dark sense to the footage, with very slow epic piano mixed together with a hiphop beat to make the grimey aspect stand out. Sound effects used include a police car and helicopters etc. The beginning of the clip starts with a voice over of a simulated phonecall ordering a hit on one of the main characters. This sets the audience up for one of the main themes of the movie, and makes them want to find out more.

Rough script plan

To appeal to our target audience and for realism, our actors are communicating in urban slang.

Lewis comes walking out of college. The conversation goes like this:

Lewis: wagwan boys what's gwan?
Randomer no.1: nutn g, what's you man sayin?
Lewis: Nutn g just chippin off town for some MacDONALDS. You got any draws cuz?
Randomer no.1: Nah bro ain't got jack gettin ma reload later, my boy Johnny's got dry peng though.
Lewis: safe cuz hook me up with some of those tasty nugs.
*Lewis walks over to Johnny, the conversation is as follows*

Johnny: You alright geez, what you after?
Lewis: Not much bro just a likkle cheeky tens ya know.
Johnny: Yeah rudeboy here ya go selecta,.
*The transaction is carried out*

Lewis: Safe cuz, here comes my bus i'm duckin out quick sef sef *Fistbang*

*Lewis bowls over to the bus, gets on, buys a ticket*

*various shots of iconic Cambridge icons.*

Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location Danny is on the phone to Julius.

Julius: Easy boy.
Danny: Don't call me boy soppy bollocks. i ain't in the fuckin mood.
Julius: what's the problem fella?
Danny: his name's lewis, i want him dead within 24 hours, i can't have people muggin me off. My reputation's on the line, 24 hours jules, I want him dead. *hangs up*

MEANWHILE

Lewis gets off the bus, there are various shots of him bowling around town, we see him goin in and coming out of MacDONALDS's.

He is spotted by Julius, he panics and starts running.

There is a chase scene, with lots of shots. The chase leads to a dead-end alley.

There is a lack of conversation at this point.

Julius: playtime's over soundboy.
Lewis: Come on man don't do this i got so much to live for.
Julius: we've all gotta make a living.


*shank*

some other shots with some deep emotional music and Julius doin some stuff.

Idea 1

The scene will start with a tracking shot of Lewis (Luke) coming out of college as it is getting fairly dark. Conversation with random people ensues until the bus arrives and he gets on it into town. In town it is now dark and gloomy. meanwhile Danny (Greg) who happens to be smoking a recreational cannabis roll-up with a roach orders out a hit on Lewis on the phone to his man Julius. Time passes with shots of town and cars and stuff. Then Julius (Matt) sees Lewis walking across town, Lewis also clocks Julius and a chase ensues. The chase leads to a dead-end and Julius shanks Lewis once in the stomach. Thinking that Lewis is dead Julius turns around and calls his boy Danny. Danny is on the other end and the camera switches to him, the phone goes dead and then switches back to the dead end where Pedro is lieing dead with blood pouring out of his neck. Ends with a shot of Lewis hobbling away holding his stomach.
