As we have decided to change to horror, we decided to have only 1 main character so its all easy to understand for the audience and they will get to know the victim well.
We have looked into conventions of different characters in order to see what personality traits we can portray onto our victims.
Firstly, our main character is going to be called Annabelle. She will be of the age range of our target audience which is 15-25, this is because we want them to feel engaged throughout and keep the attention of them.
We also thought that by having a young girl as the main character it will be appealing for both males and females to watch the film in the cinema. Another reason for having a female victim is that it is a convention of a horror film, it is easy for them to be portrayed as vulnerable and always being on edge. This is an important personality trait as it means when she jumps the audience in then will also be scared. This can build on the suspense in the trailer which is important.
As a group we decided that in the trailer we should make Annabelle a protagonist which means she herself will experience the horror of the anonymous figure at first hand. She has been awfully caught up in events that she could not help, which then lead on to show her personality as anxious and scared.
The female character Annabelle is at the heart of the entire plot, we get to see her change from a normal happy young adult and content person to a petrified and unsettled victim of an unknown figure that is stalking her new home.
Annabelle faces the horror character by herself which isn't usually seen in most horrors. We made it so she is alone in the house where no one is able to come and save her. A typical convention would be a female character being saved, however, we thought it would be better to actually add a different twist and challenge usual conventions of a male hero. Annabelle manages to locate the source of horror that is on her home without the aid of a male, this shows annabelle to be a strong character.

Plot
Idea change
Although its very late into the year, as a group we all decided to change our idea of the film. The more we were making the film and going over our ideas we realised that it would be very hard to make and was going to be a disaster. Once we got back our audience feedback and not all people we were happy we finalised our answer and changed the film. The film is still going to be called anonymous as it relates and links in to what the film is going to be about. we have changed the film genre to horror as we think the target audience (which we have also kept the same 15-25) will like this more. I am glad that we decided to get audeince feedback as i think this new film idea that we are doing to going to be very good and very interesting and leave the audience wanting more.
When we started filming for our old film idea we realised we hadnt thought in depth enough and it was all scruffy, so hopefully we are going to be more prepared for the horror.

Sket semiotic analysis
I am choosing to analyse the film trailer of Sket as it is the same genre of the movie we are going to make and is quite similar, so i feel by analysing the trailer i will be able to get ideas for my film and see how the trailer is structured,.
The first thing that is shown quickly and abruptly at the start of the film is distribution company which is revolver entertainment, which is followed by the production company Gunslinger. This shows that is was a fairly low budget film and is an english film.
The next thing that appears in the trailer is some online graphics 'From the producers of shank and anuvahood' which is a similar and popular films which were made from the same producer. This could make the audience want to see the film if they have seen shank or anuvahood and liked them.
We see the music is slow and has loud blackouts as there is a montage of videos at the start of the trailer. We start to see what the location of the film is with different shots of some flats and the london location. Anyone who would watch the trailer will soon realise by the way the people talk and the location, that it is London.
We are introduced to some violence in the trailer when the music almost goes to a holt and the characters are getting pulled and punched.
In the trailer we see some more graphics come up saying 'Girls fight back' after a girl says 'he killed my sister, im gonna kill you'. This shows that this film isnt following the usual stereotypes of a girl, and the girls in this film have a quite masculine roll. The music becomes much louder and fast, like a grim type of song, and a film starts kicking and punch a strong male. More graphics flash up saying 'sisterhood' and we see scenes of a girl gang who look tough, and carry weapons on them. We are shown critics from sky movies, there comments on the film.
Towards the end of the film we see lots of shots of violence which really shows what the movie is about and we can hear the backtrack music of the film as famous and well known artists, Watching this trailer really helped me to see how i would like to set my own trailer out and how to do the editing.
