Mise-en-scene:

 Eva and I have thought very carefully about mise-en-scene, as we want our trailer to clearly show that our film is filmed/ produced during the 80's we have taken into account that we are going to have to find a very specific place to film. 
Props: We are very lucky as we have a friend who drives a classic mini copper which benefits us majorly, although we have this we need to think about filming in a public place, because having a classic car which fits our genre perfectly is worthless if we have brand new modern cars in our shots. The mini Classic we are using is clearly old, it is a gold/brown colour, with a black convertable roof, a tad beat up, with a loud engine. 
 Costume: We have told both Brittany and Dylan what we wanted them to wear, we want to create a 'rock' kind of look. For the look we are trying to create we have been inspired by series/films such as this is england. 
 We want Brittany to look natural with minimal make up, natural hair, we want this as back in the 80's we know girls didn't look like todays young girls; full face of make up and big, long hair and dressed in bright colours. We want Brittany in a leather jacket as this fits the 'rock' look we want to create and this is convenient as we know she has one herself, meaning that if we need to for some reason randomly go out and capture some last minuet shoots we do not need to worry about where to find a leather jacket that we can use. We know that dark colours will be key when creating this image as it fits the stereotype, along with patterns such as tartan and chequered.
 Dylan has a big Khaki coloured parker coat we have asked him to wear, it is a dark shade of green and also big and fluffy, this is the film is well suited as we want to emphasis how cold it is when him and his friends are stranded in an un known location, showing how cold it is will help to create this gloomy, dark, negative atmosphere, which may not be vital in the trailer but to create this trailer we need to fully take into account what would happen if this film was to be created.
 In our trailer we want to have a few quick cuts of our 'creatures' to create tensions, doing this people are going to want to know what are the creatures? What do they do? What effect will they have on the characters? How do they effect/come into the story line? Meaning that people will therefore want to come and see the film in cinema, which of course is the ultimate goal and the focus for a trailer.
 For this pacific trailer, our main focus is location and clothing, apart from the car we haven't focused majorly on any other props.
 For our 'creatures' we want these to look very human like, just with the faces of farm animals. Currently Eva and I have both been looking for suitable, realistic animal masks to use, we was looking at having a minimum of 3 different animals shown in our trailer, but we are still struggling to find what we want. If we do not find what we want we are going to have to consider and alternative idea.
