Pitch

At the beginning of the course, we presented our initial ideas to the class. Since then, our ideas have developed and changed:

We have now established our teaser trailer genre is going to be completely Psychological Thriller. The storyline has also been altered slightly and now consists of a montage displaying our protagonist's simple, easy life. Then she will take a drug and the party scene will occur through her eyes. The audience will then see shots of her life as a result of her addiction to the drug, which is now complicated and frustrating. 

 Our initial ideas of shots have stayed the same, apart from the idea of having a shot outside the party. Although our venue looked good with the lighting inside, it looked less impressive from the outside, and also too dark to film properly.

These were very rough ideas for a title, which we have now improved on. Our title options, as we put in our survey are:

The Tranquility of Ecstasy

Indulge in Ecstasy

Euphoric Rhapsody

Harmonious Delirium 

Our favourite and also the favourite of the people who did the survey is Harmonious Delirium.

Our main inspiration for our film was Limitless- both the film and the TV show. These are some of the shots we liked the best and were very inspired by. 

We like the extreme close ups of the eye as the pupils dilates- representing the sudden effects the drug has on his physical well-being. This is a technique we might attempt in filming, to clearly demonstrate the imminent effects of the drug.

The red lighting of this shot is something we will definitely use in our trailer, for the shots of the protagonist taking the drug. This will contrast both the high -key lighting we use for the opening montage and the low-key lighting used to represent her psychological and physical breakdown.

We liked these shots due to the contrast between the cool and warm tones. The shot of the clenched fists is warm toned, suggesting the power he has gained and how he it utilising this to his benefit. The shot of his palms suggests helplessness and a sudden realisation of the extent to which his powers affect his life.
