Organisation: Film ideas

I have started to plan a few potential movie ideas which I can use for my trailer. In this blog I will discuss the genre of the film, the premise, and what I would need to make the trailer.


My first film idea is a gangster type film a bit like the GodFather and is called 'Poezzi'. The premise of the film is based on gang leader Francesco Poezzi and his battle against the police and another rival gang. I will need plenty of props for this trailer such as toy guns, toy cars, suits,hats, toy knifes etc. I will also need an array of settings to tie in with a dark background as I will make the trailer mysterious similar to the GodFather trailer as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sY1S34973zA.

My second film idea is called 'Little Dreams'. It is about a boy name Dexter Little who sturggles at most things thus leading to bullying. However after discovering his talent for football he is scouted by a major football team and has to deal with his new found life of popularity and money. For this trailer I will need a host of football kits, a football, a pitch, and a big room to fill a party scene in my trailer. I will also need some football grounds but I am going to go to at least 3 football matches and film there to use in my trailer.

My third movie trailer idea is based on a real life event. I have not thought of a name for it yet but it is based in the cold war, where a Soviet leader named Stalyvin Petrov nearly destroyed the world because of a computer error. This will be the hardest trailer to make as I will need to find a location which is not to modern to make it look like the Cold War times. I will also need a computer, some weapons and costumes that are army based and similar to the Soviet Union one.

My final film idea is another sports related film and is called fight on. This tells the story of boxer Ryan Mccombe who is knocked down at his peak through injury thus leading to him suffering from depression and alcoholism. The trailer will show how he battles with this. I think that this will be the funniest trailer to make and I will need props such as championship belts, a ring, boxing gloves, beer bottles and a room for his rehab sessions as well as a gym.

Out of these ideas the film I am using as my number one to make is Poezzi as I think it will look the most effective if I can get everything right. However I think I have some very good backup options here in case I can't and I am also thinking of more trailer ideas to use just in case!
