My trailer is going to focus on a young man looking for his sister who has gone missing. I am not going to suggest to the audience how she has gone missing, or if she is even alive. I want to leave this element a mystery because from my earlier audience feedback, they disliked trailers that gave away the entire story. As I am still using a one-man cast, my idea to portray that his sister is missing is to design a missing persons poster. This will then be featured in a close-up shot on the floor and then again by a medium-shot of it on a tree. I believe this story line is the best one to use as it fits most of the drama conventions in terms of narrative.
Below is the comparison I did with how my narrative conformed to the genre narrative conventions.
- Intense situations = looking for a missing sibling is a stressful and intense situation.
- Portrayal of suggested and potential character development = the main character shown is the one looking for his sister, it's clear he's going to find some leads to her disappearance which will make him develop as a character throughout.
- Exhibits real life situations with realistic characters, settings and stories = somebody going missing is a real life event and happens often all over the world. My location focuses on a secluded woodland area which is a realistic setting and not far-fetched.
- Purpose of a dramatic story line to move the audience emotionally = it's an emotional time and situation which audience members can relate to, especially if it's a personal experience of theirs.
- Heart of the narrative is usually conflict = the conflict is how the main subjects sister has gone missing, this will have caused a lot of conflict in her family and friends lives.
- Depict realistic struggles, audience relations to characters = audience members can connect to the emotions of the main character by imagining what it is like to be going through this situation.
