Before starting our storyboard, we looked to other trailers
for inspiration.
In our film we have included a romance sub-plot of a love
triangle which runs alongside the apocalypse and survivor plot. For inspiration
we looked at trailer’s for teenage romance films such as ’10 Things I Hate
About You’ (1999) and found that the romantic hero and heroine’s story is set
up in generally the same format.
At the beginning of the trailer the guy is
seen looking longingly at the girl. Later there is a shot-reverse-shot shown of
them looking at each other and then near the end of the trailer they are seen
together in a romantic way in the same shot. We have followed these conventions
which our shots depicting Sam and Sebastian. We have also followed the
convention of having a heterosexual relationship with the man who does the
longing after the girl as this complies with both Laura Mulvey’s ‘Male Gaze’
and the patriarchal society within which our plot is set.
