Final coursework idea and film pitch.

For my AS coursework I have to complete a film trailer in which I show a short clip of the film just as your typical trailer does. After much deliberation on what type of genre I should go for, I decided on horror. The zombie theme really appealed to me and I felt this would be a really fun trailer to make! I have three things in which I will need to complete for this project, they are: 

• a short film trailer
•  A magazine cover
• A film poster

All of these will need to be completed with the trailer being the centre piece. The poster and magazine cover will be similar, but in no way the same. They will all have a central theme and hopefully colour scheme to help ensure I have branded the film and the production well, I always find I can link a brand with colours. I personally believe the magazine cover creation will be the easier part with experience in this from last years coursework. 

Establishing a general film idea is essential for this project to work. Planning is key. For the project to run smoothly and go completely right, there needs to be an idea and then a lot of planning from this idea. Obviously, the original ideas will be adapted and changed throughout a period of time and there will be things which need changing along the way.

The general idea is for the zombie theme. The setting will hopefully be in an abandoned house with a few friends acting in it as the zombies or survivors. The setting fits perfectly with the theme of the trailer, however in light of this it has been done before.

There is still a lot more planning to be done with regards to this movie.
