Rationale:

This idea we have chosen was derived from our love for watching drama movies and because it is easy to film.

We felt that this genre would be the most flexible to experiment with for our drama based trailer as it can be structured in various different ways. 

Budget: There was no budget planned for this production. All equipment is borrowed. There are no costing effects and actors are volunteers. However we did buy a Hand Held Stabilizer which cost £3.
