Marketing my film

My film will be marketed in a few ways. It will be marketed on billboards and advertisement boards around town. It will also be marketed by readers of the novel it was based upon, hinting some fans of the book would come see the novel based book. The will be a London premier in Leicester Square in the Summer of 2012, with radio stations hosting the key actors, as well as the author of it.

Certificate of my film

My film would hold a 15 certificate as it has scenes of drug use. However, my film will not show too much drug use as the plot of the film is merely not about drugs, but about the relationship between a father and his son. On the other hand, my film contains strong uses of language quite frequently and may upset some viewers. The strong language is used to allow anger to flow frequently. There are scenes of fighting, which some viewers may find offensive in different ways to others, but as it is a broad certificate, a 15 would be suittable.

Teaser Trailer Locations

Filming my teaser trailer was rather tricky due to my location spots. I chose to host my teaser trailer down my road in an alley way. This was used in the day and at night in rainy conditions to add an un-welcomed feeling. The alley way is quite a scary place so i felt i needed to film down there, despite the weather conditions. The shot of the young boy smoking was filmed in my garden to show what teenagers do to act rebellious. This was a real life situation as the boy was smoking without his parents knowing. The shot of the dad in a park was filmed in Farringdon to show the working relationship between the dad and the son. The rest of the footage was filmed in my house to add a domestic texture to the movie.

Teaser Trailer Sound Effects

The only sound effect i used apart from voice overs was a reverse cymbal then forward cymbal all in one go.
