INITIAL STORYBOARD

PLOT SYNOPSIS

• Bloodline is action film which resolves around a small family living in South London. The plot explores the extreme lengths that two sisters, Amber and Taylor have to go through in order to save the life of their father Paul. Unintentionally, the two girls are  left with the pressure and responsibility to return a valuable memory stick to a notorious gang leader of the south London area. The data on this memory stick is worth a lot more than the health and safety of Amber, Taylor and Paul, as far as the gang leader is concerned. As well as being under strict time conditions, the girls are faced with many obstacles, trials and dead ends. The movie reveals how family values, loyalty and personality traits are tested.

HOW WE HAVE EVOLVED THESE DESIGNS FROM OUR ANALYSIS

• We have evolved our own designs from our analysis of real film trailers, by using key conventions and codes that are established within this media platform such as ending credits, booming SFX and high key lighting. By using key conventions and codes as a guide and base for our trailer, we were then able to use our own creativity and ideas to give these conventions and codes a unique twist. For example, by following the convention of high key lighting in the majority of our scenes, we were able to creatively create different moods and atmospheres that reflected character emotions and feelings. Thus, our analysis of teasers trailer has influence the design and creation of our teaser trailer, as we want our audience to be familiar with our text, yet note the distinctive features that separate it from other urban action movies.
