Idea 3: Plot/Synopsis for our Film Trailer - Nicole Morgan


Main Characters:
Sam
Victoria


Plot: 
Finally, our last idea was to base the film trailer on a young boy and a girl (Sam and Victoria) who fall in love, they cannot face being out of each other’s sight, until one day Victoria dies after being involved in tragic car accident, just on her way to her boyfriend’s home to meet his parents for the very first time. Sam is struggling to come to terms with what has happened and suffers from a severe form of depression, causing him to almost become suicidal. Sam decides he wants to take his own life at the top of the mountains, which was place Victoria and Sam used to love, until Victoria’s spirit forces him to not go through with this decision, move on with his life and be happy. Sam is so overwhelmed by this and decides to take her advice and begins to move on. Everyday, he travels to the same place he saw Victoria so that he could see her and talk to her about his life and how he is coping. Until one day, Sam meets another girl at his new high school. However, he still travels to the same place everyday to meet Victoria, but she doesn’t show. Is this because she is jealous? Or because she has decided that now Sam has met someone else, she doesn’t want to get in the way?

Idea 1: Plot/Synopsis for our Film Trailer - Sam Jones


Characters: 
Beth 
Ryan

Plot:

For our groups film trailer, I had the idea of two main characters (Beth and Ryan) living two separate lives, with their own separate group of friends but the similarity of both of their parents have passed away. They get to know each other at the party, meet up many times with friends and on their own and fall in love over a period of a year. Then Beths parents tell Beth that they have to move to America for her dads work so she has to leave Ryan. Ryan tries to persuade Beth to stay but she has no choice but to leave. It shows the characters individually living on their own. Then the problem is slowly resolved by Ryan tracking Beth down and travelling to America to see her and start their new life again. 


The trailer will include quick shots of exciting parts of the story without giving it all away. The music will be sad and slow and will reach an exciting part when they have to part each other, This will show when the problem occurs. The music will then drift back into slow where it shows happiness and them in love. There will be a voice over of a few words so the audience knows what is going on.
