Soundtrack
Possible soundtracks could be-

These are from film soundtracks like Drive, Tron Legacy, Interstellar which aren't all from my the same genre as my film but they are quite eerie and can build tension but are simple enough that they won't distract from the dialogue. Also some are the instrumental versions of songs, so you can have the tune without the lyrics distracting from the trailer.

I sent an email to the record company asking for permission to use some of the soundtracks in my trailer:

Locations

Scene 1 and 2 -

I've chosen to film around Digbeth and the Custard Factory to get an urban and industrial feel, especially with all the graffiti around that area. It's also quite empty around that area so there won't be that many people around. 

Scene 3 -

The scenes set at Max's house will be shot at Rachel's house. 

Scene 5-

For the scenes inside Max's I will create a wall with the clues and evidence they've found so far.

This is the board that Rachel made for our trailer. I think it looks really good and looks like someone has actually been kidnapped. 

Scene 9-

For the warehouse at the end of the trailer, I plan to use a car park in Birmingham that is usually empty and looks like an abandoned warehouse.

Props

We will have a missing person poster, that Max will be putting up around Birmingham city centre. Then we need a note written to Max and Faith as well. Also we need a note that is sent to Max and Faith, threatening them to stop.

We will also need some fake blood for the second scene.

Risk Assessment 

Risk 1 

Everyone | City Center 

When we are shooting in the city center it's going to be quite dark outside so we need to be careful when filming as we will be near the road and we need to watch out for cars. 

We will try to minimise this risk by trying to film not that close to the road as this will also mean that we can focus more on the filming rather than having to also make sure there are no cars coming. 

Risk 2 
Beth & Beth  
When Beth & I are getting kidnapped we need to make sure that neither of us gets injured during the fake kidnapping. 
We will try to minimise the risk of being injured by making sure that we when are getting kidnapped we make it look more exaggerated and act it out more.
