Jake Bourke A2 Media studies

My name is Jake Bourke and this year in A2 media studies I will be making a film trailer.

The film trailer genre I have chosen is romantic drama. I will be completing this task with Joshua Dowsett. We have chosen to create a romantic drama trailer as it will offer a new type of story. The trailer involves two people meeting each other, where courtly love occurs creating the couple to instantly seen as falling in love. The trailer will show various shots of the happy couple laughing and having fun in each others company. However university gets in the way of the couple, when the male comes back after months, he finds her with another man. This will successfully attract audience members as the film allows the audience members to relate to the events occurring within the film therefore mirroring it with their own personal past issues.

Target audience

We are aiming our film to be a 12+ aiming the plot from 17-22 year old females; this is because the characters in our film are roughly the same age as this peer group, allowing them to relate easily to the film. The film will relate many happy emotions with the couple together, whilst still creating an interesting plot with various twists.

Plot

Man meets a woman, become a happy couple gradually becoming very close, man is forced to go to university far away, she never hears from him since, months later he comes back to find her with someone else, he fights for her back, man travels his way back to university after seeing the woman, leaving the audience unaware whether it ends happily or sadly.

Twist

The selling point of this film, is how the storyline is a plot at which the audience is able to relate, easily drawing the audience member into the plot due to the young nature of the characters, also the everyday scenery and events occurring, leaving the film being very surreal for the audience member.

Film institution

Comet cinema is a new and upcoming film production company who specialise in romance mainly, which was founded in 2011 by Jake Bourke and Joshua Dowsett. This will help create a good new image for our film showing the audience a new type of romantic drama, connecting the audience with the characters creating a bond between them.
