Initial Ideas ..

At the moment our ideas are still in the early stages and would require much development but so far we believe it will be based around ; the subject of a young male lead character who is trapped between two conflicting lifestyles. The film will depict the changes which take place within this characters life and the way in which he deals with the changes and the choices he makes and how they impact upon him. We felt as if we wanted our project to go against the usual conventions of a urban 'teenage' drama ; meaning our character will go from being 'good' to 'bad' all of which will be triggered from some sort of family disturbance. Of which it will be we are not sure yet it will be decided at a later date.

Locations : Housing Estates , Universities

Characters : TBD

This is all we have at the moment but we are continuously working on developing and improving our ideas.

What Kind Of Film Might Have A Teaser Trailer ?

Films which usually have teaser trailers are those have a multi-millon budgets , popular sequels or adaptations such as 'Superman' ; 'Avengers' ; 'Incredible Hulk' and Spiderman.

These films require the use of teaser trailers as they are effective in creating 'buzz' and excitement around the arrival of an anticapated film ; teaser trailers allow film fans to get a 'sneak-peak' without giving too much away a vital tool in the media industry , as film makers directors and production companies alike dont want the public see to much into their new hollywood blockbuster however they also dont want it too lose interest amongst film fans this where teaser trailers work well and are quite effective.

It is unlikely that small budget films will have teaser trailers as from a film maker point of view it just doesnt seem viable or make any sense ; because it wouldnt generate any media or public attention , it is easy to argue that teaser trailers are new within the media industry and something which came about as a result of demand for more pre film footage as films grew more and more popular throughout the 20th century.

In relation to our film it is unlikely a 'urban thriller/drama' would have the need or use of a teaser trailer ; teaser trailers are overall quite unconventional within the media industry.

Why Are Teaser Trailers Made ?

Teaser trailers in essence are made in order to create 'hype' surronding a film usually to keep people interested if a film is late to be realesed or something along those lines ; conventially teaser trailers are created for big budget blockbusters , popular titles or sequels. Teaser trailers can vary in the amount of time in which the are shown before the actual release of the film itself for example an extreme case would be  'Where the Wild Things Are' had a teaser with 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' in 2000 but was not released until 2009 it was the longest such gap in history ; but ususally Teaser trailers are released about a year before the actual film is screened.
