Synopsis

The film trailer that I am going to produce will be promoting a new musical. It's style and context could be compared to films such as "Fame", "Grease" and "Dirty Dancing". The film will be targeted at an audience of both males and females, with ages ranging from teenagers to young adults. Because my film trailer could appeal to a potential audience of younger teenagers (e.g. 13 to 15 year olds) the films content will be clean of any taboo or references unsuitable for this age group.

The storyline behind my film trailer is as follows: A group of amateur drama fanatics from Kingston Upon Hull have reached the final of a national competition for which they must compose a routine involving dance, drama and song. They are competing with the hope of winning a cash prize of £10,000 which they hope to spend renovating the local theatre and make it an environment where more local youngsters will look to take part in activities and give something back to the community. However, there is one large obstacle in the way of the prize they so much desire, 'The London Royal Academy of Dance and Drama': their main rivals in the competition. The film tells the story of the gruelling training the 'Hull Amateur Theatre Group' go through in order to finally secure the cash prize in a final dance off between these two rival groups. However because in my film trailer I will not be looking to reveal the resolution of the film, the footage will be made up of dramatic snap shots of the groups rehearsing their routines and building up to the climax of the film, the moment when the two groups perform their final routines. Location will be a key element in my film trailer, and will reflect the contrast between the two groups.
