Changing idea from short film to trailer

Changing idea from short film to trailer

After the christmas holidays I decided to change my idea from being a short film to being a trailer. I did this because over the christmas holidays I saw some new trailers and I liked the way that they are out together and how they can portray the whole film in a short amount of time. Another factor that lead to me changing my idea was that I had a problem with sourcing 'German' actors so I thought that if  produced a trailer I would not have to show a large amount of Germans. I also liked the idea of the non-linear narrative of trailers and how well the are at capturing the audience's attention and having form of hook in order to get the audience to want to see the full film.

I also changed the narrative of my product, so instead of it being the Paratrooper against a large German squad, it is just the Paratrooper being stalked by a German SS officer. This also lead to a chase and conflict between the two characters. This narrative follows the convention of 'man vs. man' as there is two figures who are fighting with each other in order to survive.
