- She kills her assassin. She also kills many more people on her journey to her father. She does this seemingly without hesitation.

- She eventually finds him but leaves him to live, though a broken and helpless man.

MUSIC FOR TRAILER..

'THE PRODIGY'
'NANCY SINATRA'

Music in the genre of gangster is very important: a slower acoustic Italian-style is iconic of films like The Godfather.
(LINK/EMBED GODFATHER OPENING MUSIC)
The music playing during the first part of our trailer (the slower paced half), is Nancy Sinatra's 'Bang Bang'. We thought this was appropriate given the omnipresence of guns in gangster films, and the recurring theme in our film. The words 'bang, bang' in conjunction with the calm tone of the music also provides a disturbing juxtaposition for the viewer.

- NANCY SINATRA 'www.youtube.com/bangbang'
- THE PRODIGY 'www.youtube.com/breathe'

During the second segment of our trailer, we are using The Prodigy's 'Breathe'.
A shot from the 'Breathe' music video.
This is because this half of the trailer is much faster paced visually and in terms of content, as is the convention for action film trailers: the beginning will introduce the characters and signal that the film too will start less aggressively. The trailer reaches a climax and the action begins. 'Breathe' is an aggressive, arousing piece of music and will excite the viewer to potentially go and see it.

Man made production companies (Calum, Piers)

'CALUM'

'' I decided to keep the middle black, and so I changed the way I made the star, by using 5 triangles. I then had to make a decision of whether to keep the idea of smaller stars or flip one of the triangles so it is facing the other side, to make our logo recognisable. I tried many different ways, and angles. I tried putting the triangle in the middle of the star but decided I didn't like it. So I reverted back to the original idea of having smaller stars in. This worked out well and looked like a professional production studio logo. I then had to find a font for the studio name. I had the idea of making it look futuristic or 'space-like' . I came across a font similar to the font used in the film Star Wars and felt it was the right one as it fits the actual logo itself. ''

'CALUM'

'' I first had an idea of lines spiralling up with a design in going through the middle, almost similar to the structure of DNA strangely enough. However, as I began to make this design, I made one of the lines too big and luckily enough, it worked, and so I changed my design for another idea. I originally just had the lines increasing and then decreasing but this looked quite boring so I added the diamond in. Again, this looked relatively boring, so in 'InDesign', I added a gradient in so the colour went from a 'silvery-grey' to white. ''

film poster title

This title was made and produced by me in paint on the computer. I used a 'spray can' to give a feel of ruff edges. I used bold black letters and worded 'BETRAYAL' slightly wonky for a different aspect. I also added a black background as this is the background colour of the film poster.. then i have blurred the edges to let the poster flow better with its layout, giving a more professional outcome.
