Applying Theory...

Character Development Evidence

Once you have confirmed the film genre you next need to develop your characters. Remember that this is only a film trailer so you need to make sure that the audience are going to be able to easily identify them and be able to understand their role in the  film. Here you should apply Props character functions. You must know these characters like they are your friends, make a creative character profile for them and be sure you know why they would behave in a certain way; as this will ensure they are well developed and the audience will believe in them.

Todorov Narrative Theory

As well as deciding on ideas for your film trailer you need to consider the narrative for the whole film; students who do this will have a far more successful production. Plot your narrative for the entire film using Todorov's Narrative theory of Equilibrium.
