If I were to re-create my trailer

If I were to re-create my trailer now, there are a couple of things I may have done differently to both show and challenge conventions and stereotypes.

1. Have the murderer to be a female.
Although the murderer is not seen in the trailer it is clear he is male because he is shown with his food up hiding his identity on the phone but we can hear his voice which is obviously male, this shows the audience the gender of the murderer which is probably not a surprise as most prisoners and crime breakers in thriller films are male. Thinking about it now, I think it would have challenged these stereotypes and given the plot a twist as the audience may not expect a female murderer.

2. In relation to what I said in the first comment, I may have used a female as the falsely accused prisoner which would have also challenged stereotypes and added a twist to the plot. However, if I were to do this I would have changed the detective to a male role so that there is a balance of both female and male character in my trailer so that it appealed to both a male and female audience.

3. Although two of our characters were A level drama students, I think I were to re-create this trailer I would have made sure all of my actors had acting experience, this is because people with acting experience usually make the scene appear how the producer wants it too and makes it dramatic and effective where as sometimes someone who doesn't have acting experience doesn't have the same skills therefore the scenes you are trying to create doesn't appear as effective.
