Location Shots.
This is the Stratford upon Avon train station. We decided this is a possible place to film because it gives a sense of the city. Which will be important as the film is based in London.
Bancroft is another possible location to film. This is an area which could help in places. Some shaded shaded areas are enclosed which could help with the intense parts of the trailer.
Hypothetical Production Budget.
So that I have a better idea of the costs that I can expect whilst filming my film trailer, I am going to look at the hypothetical production budget for a filmmaker making a short film independently. This will allow me to see the costs that are involved when having to hire both cast and crew for the period of filming, as well as equipment and other necessities.
I will then look at the real production budget of all three of my ideas, as this will allow me to plan ahead, and try to figure out what ways I can cut down costs. It will also help me to make a list of everything that I will need to source for the idea to be a success. Finally, it will help me to make a definite decision on my final idea, as I will be able to see the implications that each of them has.
This hypothetical film production budget is based on a filming period of 2 days, and I will still be playing the role of the producer so there will be no charges.

Treatment.
Working Title- Hackney Carnage, A crime thriller based on the streets of Hackney.
Format- This production will be shot using a JVC handheld camcorder or a Sony A1E. It will be edited using Final cut Pro on a apple mac.
Intended Audience- The intended audience will be ages 18-29. I used IDMB to research age’s groups that voted for the films I am basing my Final production on.
Synopsis- There are 2 rival streets (The Dalston's & Hackney Down's) involved in this trailer who get into a spot of trouble, one of the members of a gang called Tyler (Hackney Down's) decides that he is going to attack a member of the opposing gang. Because he doesn't want to face the consequences for the assault, he blames a close friend (Ben) that was there with him when it happened, not realising that his friend will end up in prison. When his sentence has finished Ben decides that he is going to get his own back on Tyler for what he's done.. he does this by making the peace with The Dalston's and they fight back.
Style- The production on my film trailer will be aggressive and crime fighting. It will include narration from the main characterat some poins and will also include sound effects.
Resourses Required- We will need to film the trailer using a JVC handheld camcorder or a Sony A1E.
A baseball bat for the violent part, mobile phones to make the actors look like they are doing something in the trailer, & bikes or something similar for the actors to get around the streets on.
Rationale- There is a clearly a market for a film of this type. An example within this genre and one which we are attempting to emulate is 'This Is England'. This film achieved a world wide gross of over $8m. There are some other titles within our genre which indicate a market need such as Kidulthood & Adulthood.
Feasibility- The trailer can be made because it will be shot locally & there are many actors who are willing to be involved. Not many props will be needed so getting hold of them isn't a problem. The locations we will be using are public places so getting there wouldn't be a problem & we wouldn't need permission.
Deadlines- The final deadline is the 10th of March which means that everything including the trailer, all pre-production work & evaluation should be completed.
