What is Final Beat?

The art of my practical production is going to be in the form of a film trailer, which will be managed and directed by the three members of my group, Me myself Jagjeet, Sundeep and Dilraj. The original idea behind this trailer format was that of a short film, which we initially planned to produce. However we soon realised that turning such a film into a trailer would emphasise its message. Moreover we are currently studying trailers; therefore this would be a great opportunity to learn how to develop such format as well as putting our learning into practice. The title of this particular production has been decided as ‘Final Beat’. The title itself conveys a multiple message that can be interpreted as a heart beat or/and a music beat, which can also be linked to the genre of the trailer. It can take on a form of a musical with a tragic ending, as it can be connoted as the ‘final beat’ of a heart. It is a challenging title that leaves the audience thinking.

an outline of the trailer is as follows: its based on how a young teen makes it to the top in the music industry. how he faces difficulties and obstacles which prevent him going to the top however he over comes them, towards the end but with a sacrifice of someone he dearly loved, his best friend. he starts of getting involved with drugs and guns, but just as he finishes he is targeted as a victim however his friend ends up taking a bullet for him.
not only does it deal with music and crime but also friendship n loyalty. its based in an urban society and environment, which will give it the rough edge effect.

The trailer will represent stereotypical values, which are normally portrayed, however it will also represent reality, which will therefore challenge the audience. Instead of portraying urban youth as this hardcore ongoing battle against society, it will show an example of someone who wants to make it to the top, make something out of himself, however stereotypically will get involved with gun crime. The reason for this is that people expect it to be shown stereotypically. Some will agree, some will not, therefore for that reason we have included stereotypes as well as a moralistic message...
