My Main Product Influences

When considering different ways in which i can make my movie trailer i was mostly set on a certain path because of films or film trailers that i have previously seen or looked at when researching different trailers to try and make mine similar or to follow the same codes and conventions.

My film trailer was heavily based upon the film Bronson and its various trailers. The way that Tom Hardy plays the character of Charlie Bronson was what lead me to create my main character for my trailer and to also share some of his traits and beliefs especially when it comes to causing physical violence without having any regrets from the acts of violence he has caused.

Between scenes of where Bronson causes violence he speaks directly to the audience and discusses how he feels and his beliefs towards certain things, this is an idea that i loved as having my main actor Joe narrate over the entirety of the trailer makes it set the mood for the film itself and to also  give the viewer an idea of what's going on otherwise it would just be a trailer of something that stats in black and white then changes into colour and then has Joe beating up people in various different ways and then laughing about it.

When watching my trailer you can obviously tell that there are multiple different things that are similar  to that of the Bronson trailer such as things like the text based on a true story and then certain shot types like the tracking shot/low angle shot.



Another thing that influenced my character in my trailer was the character of Trevor in the game Grand Theft Auto V. I know that its a video game and that it has nothing to do with films but the character of Trevor is unstable, unpredictable and has no remorse for his actions which is something that i liked a lot as it shows that the character has nothing to lose and will do anything he wants whenever he wants.
