I have taken great interest in the film Identity, a film about different personalities of the same person with drastic consequences, and have used this film for a basis of my ideas, pulling a few ideas from it, etc.
To begin with, I thought of an idea using teenagers as the main characters, this is an obvious as they are the only age of actors I could get hold of.
One of the easiest ways to film a good story, in my mind, is to have a decent size cast, no fewer than five and no higher then ten. This way i can explore different people, different ideas and different thoughts within the film, and therefore within the trailer.
Most of the trailer will be based around introducing the viewer to the cast, showing that they would be going to a calm environment, and then inserting a disequilibrium into the story.
The disequilibrium in my story will be the split personality of a shy girl, who's other personality is a deranged and murderous psychopath.
While this is an easy production to film prop-wise, cinematographic wise etc, the main problem i will face in this production is that of keeping the actors in check, on one hand using teenagers is the easiest possible solution for me, with me having the same time of college as them, as well as other pros, the main problem is the fact that they are teenagers, who are stereotypical to be unruly, which will test my directory skills.
However, i do look forward to this challenge, and look forward to start filming in the coming weeks.
