Outside of a Circle Teaser Trailer.

Today in Media we were given a made-up film synopsis and Miss Martin asked us to produce a teaser trailer for it, this was much harder as with the Up film many people had seen it, or had heard about it so they had a rough idea on what happens within the film.
The basic plot for the film is that a man is an undercover police officer and he gets involved with a mafia based gang and it all goes wrong. So from what we were given I made the following trailer for this film.
We were given the name of the film - Outside of a Circle.

Shot one: A long shot of a car and someone sitting inside it and beyond that is a typical city sky scraper building with lots of windows and a small door at the bottom. Near the small door at the bottom there are two mysterious figures looking around to make sure that there is no one watching them.
-Dialogue: None
Shot two: An over the shoulder shot of the Police Officer looking at the building where there is a mysterious figure going into it.
-Dialogue: The Undercover Police Officer says 'Hmmm'
Shot three: A long shot of five people sitting around a long rectangular table, there is a man at the end, who is presumbably the 'Boss'. He is making a statment and all of the other people are nodding and agreeing with what he says.
-Dialogue: The 'Boss' is saying 'We need to get rid of him', the other people who are around the table are saying 'Yeah' and 'Yes, Boss'
Shot four: A long shot of the sky scraper outside with the 'Mob' men looking at the undercover cop who is in his car. They walk over to him and he realises too late that they have sussed him out.
-Dialogue: The undercover cop saying 'aaaah!'
Shot five: A mid shot of the Mafia gang going to get the undercover cop out of his car, they drag him out and his hat falls off. In the background you can see the bottom of the sky scrapers wtih a few lights on.
-Dialogue: None
Shot six: A bit of blood dripping down from the previous screen and there is text saying 'From the Makers of...'
-Dialogue: 'From the makers of...'
Shot seven: Blood from the previous screen again and then text saying 'Goodfellas and Rock & Rolla'
-Dialogue: 'Goodfellas and Rock & Rolla'
Shot eight: There is a white flash and then blood drips down again from the previous shot and says the name of the film 'Outside of a Circle' and in red writing it says 'Autmn 2011'
-Dialogue: None

Obviously there is no Teaser Trailer for us to compare this to, but I thought that my Teaser Trailer was quite good. The only thing I thought I didn't do very well was use the acutal conventions of a teaser trailer, I thought that this wasn't very well thought out as it gave quite a lot of information away about the film. And it was in sequence, but I find it hard to do that as it doesn't feel right! However I thought that I included quite a lot of the list, such as the name of the film, the sense of the genre, the release date and it was also less than a minute. I think that the target audience for this film would be men, aged between 15 - 30.
