Hello, we have devised this power point for some feedback and help from our target audience in terms of our A2 thriller teaser trailer. Our idea is of both the natural disaster and psychological thriller sub-genre. The main plot is that some form of disaster occurs in a small town. Resulting in a women being left all alone. The disaster aspect will be made clear through a radio broadcast playing in the background, shots of a family running trying to escape and scenes of desertion. The psychological element comes from the women we witness cooking in the kitchen. We see her cooking for which seems to be a large amount of people, elements of OCD are shown through her obsessive cleanliness of utensils and her hands. We also see elements of organisation, everything perfectly lined. The end of the trailer shows that the women has in fact cooked a large meal but for only herself, yet she has served up numerous portions. The disaster has resulted n her family being taken from her leading to a mental state of mind, imagining her family are still present.

The title of our trailer is still a working progress. We are still unsure and undecided as to which one we should go for. So we have created a list of possible titles. It would be very helpful if you could select which one you feel is most appropriate and catchy:• End of days• _______ road (unsure of which name)• The stand• The town• The village• When time run out• The silent town• Perfect silence• The day after• When time stood still

Magazine 1:This magazine is aSight and Sound Design. The image aims to be thrilling through the look on the mothers face. Mascara and dirt will appear on her face implying some form of disastrous event. The background will be of the disaster but dulled.

Magazine 2:Magazine cover 2 is a design of a possible Total Film cover. The top image is of the family fleeing the disaster and the bottom is of the calm, strange women. The contrasting images aim to confuse the audience.

Magazine 3:Magazine 3 is another Sight and sound cover produced by Jennifer. This cover shows merely the deranged eyes of the women who we see cooking.

Magazine 4:Magazine 4 is a third Sight and sound magazine. The image is a close up of the mother crying. We can see fear in her eyes and dirt on her face.

Poster 1:Poster 1 Is an image placed more to the left of the mother holding her child in fear. We can see mascara and dirt running down her face. She will be wearing grubby clothes. The title and tag line will appear to the right hand side. The image surrounding the titles will be of the disaster, and the centre will be black.

Poster 2:Poster 2 is divided into two sections. The top section will have the mother and child again crying and so on. The tag line will appear to the right of the image. The main title will be in the centre. The bottom image will be images used from the trailer. Half of the below section will be of the deserted car with its doors flung open. By the car the girls teddy bear who we see in the top section will be left abandoned on the floor. The second image will merge together of the deserted park.

Poster 3:
