After researching into the previously analysed film trailers, we
had to decide whether to make a Drama film trailer or a Teen Romantic Comedy
film trailer. After weighing up the pros and cons of both genres we decided to
go with the Drama genre, as we felt that the audience would find it more
engaging and that Drama films would draw more emotions and feelings from the
audience. We then had to consider our target audience and figure out how we
would aim to meet their expectations. We changed our idea of making a trailer
for a Drama film, to making a trailer for a ‘Teen Drama’ film,so that we were
aiming at a more specific target audience. We also had to consider if we wanted
to 'Americanise' our film trailer and make it appear more cinematic, or to make
a real gritty, British film trailer. After much deliberation, we decided to go
with the idea of making a true, gritty British film trailer, as we felt that
our target audience would be able to relate to it a lot more.
To help get a better understanding of Teen Drama I did some research into the
sub genre, including analysing various character types, the mise-en-scene and
what issues and adversities were included.

Fantastic effort to research potential directors, producers and screenwriters! All four of these suggestions seem plausible and realistic in terms of the media product you want to produce. If only you could really get them on board! ;)
