Initial ideas/Pitch
Lewis and I plan to carry on from our first short sequence film. We felt the whole assassin idea was for us, doing a trailer for this would definitely suit the way that I like to edit, and also the way that Lewis and I like to produce and direct what we make.
The film will contain a head assassin who is practically ‘the boss’ of his assassin gang. He tells his subordinates what to do and how to do it, and has complete control over his illegal company that he is running. This ‘boss’ will be left a mysterious man throughout the trailer until the very end where his face is then revealed.
The team of rogue agents/mercenaries will go out hunting a drug dealer who currently has a bounty of £50,000 on his head, little do they know, a highly dangerous target is watching their every move, and plans to put a stop to the act. This man is an ex NSA militant agent, who has a wide array of trained skills, and a much larger bounty on his head of £5 million.
The movie consists of the group of illegal bounty hunters attempting to kill/capture this man, and get redemption after the amount of their own people he has killed and sent to prison.
I will be taking on the role of editor and plan to do an intense and adrenaline filled edit, containing a montage of hard hitting clips short clips, none lasting no more than 15 seconds.
As your trailer is from the thriller genre, it's plot is quite complicated. The problem for you will be how you introduce the plot in your teaser. You MUST look at some examples of thriller teasers (use Trailer Addict)and see how the distributors do it. Preferably, use films that you have already seen because then you will be familiar with the plots and can see what elements the teasers include.
