Structure - (ROUGH)



The trailer will be divided into part A / B / C
Part A will include
- Leader introducing new members into the lifestyle of dealing drugs - Rule number 1 / rule number 2 ext
- During induction - I will be Cross cutting between a scene of 2 boys hoodied up wearing balacalavas following another boy on his own eventually attacking him - possibly with an effect on it like sepia or black and white
From this conversation and these images, our audience is encouraged to empathise with both characters, the target audience will show preference to our main character - this conversation has to be well scripted to introduce our gang leader as an experienced gangster - similar to the opening of the trailer of American Gangster - winning the audience over immediately. A voice over will be used during the cross cutting when its the scene with the attack
The cross cutting at the beginning of the trailer will be done similarly to how it is done in the opening of the suicide squad trailer - it builds the tension effectively as well as giving a clear, yet un-descriptive indication of the plot.


Part B
- Following the conversation - we show the brother engaging in a phone call with the police
- Cross cutting will be used again as the brother converses with the police - with the arrest of our main character and the gang leader - both characters will be arrested in different locations indicating they are at two different scenes in the move
In order to achieve a successful scene - lots of work will have to be put into the editing process of cross cutting - extreme closeups of the brother will be used as well to establish a sense of intimacy with the character. - Effects on the voices during conversation with the police officer, as well as a professional sounding police officer will be necessary. In terms of the actual police - older men in suits with badges will be used to suggest an undercover force unless realistic police outfits can be acquired. - The sense of realism is vital to the success in this scene - Lots of footage will be necessary carefully edited together - especially when doing action sequences.

Part C
Up until this point of the trailer, it has gone relatively slow paced, lots of fades to black as well as lots of uses of cross cutting and voiceovers 
- An image of our main characters leaving a police station (possibly Brixton police station) will be shown to show the charges against our characters have been dropped. - Music being provided by louis knightwebb will begin as our gang members leave the police station - building tension
- A montage of violence and aggression will then be shown to show how the situation has now spiralled out of control - this will included group fights - images of men with guns and knives
- Audio clips of our main characters making it clear his purpose is to find his brother give more of a plot indication
- To achieve the fast paced action thriller feel - I will film things breaking - windows smashing - people being thrown - whatever I can film to achieve a sense of real aggression
- Shots of the brothers facing off to finish the trailer will then build on the suspense
I will have to show the dilemma our character is facing - the pressure he is under from the gang to find his brother - yet not wanting to do so due to the fact that it is family - the ending shot will be something like the leader handing the new member a knife or gun to kill his brother and the dilemma will become clear for the audience if it is not clear already.
