A main reason for us choosing to do the type of trailer that we have done is because of programmes that we have watched and knew of so we could watch them and take influence from them. These two programmes were 'Ashes to Ashes' and 'Life on Mars'. These are both police dramas which were mainly broadcast in the era that we want for our trailer and as all of our group had watched these programmes and enjoyed them, we wanted to do a similar sort of performance and take inspiration from the success that these two programmes have achieved.
We all knew of certain scenes from the two programmes that we thought were extremely effective and that we could take inspiration from. Through these scenes, we didn't just get ideas from the actual scenes, but we took inspiration from what costumes the character's wore, the props that were used and the locations that they used.
We watched these two clips on YouTube as we all knew that this was a good basis to get inspiration from. The main feature that we took from these two pieces of media was their use of costumes and props. Policeman were a strong presence in this film and through both of these clips, we got a good idea of what policeman's attire was in the 1980s era. Also, as we wanted to create a realistic interpretation of what props were used. We had our own general ideas on what props should be used, but these clips gave us inspiration because we wanted to make every scene that we had have props to represent them. For example, in the clip of Ashes to Ashes, the female cop uses the gun, and flashes her ID.
Overall, we received a lot of inspiration from other trailers and these gave us a lot of ideas on what we should do in our film trailer.
