After considering what necessities of location and characters are required in making a trailer for a Chick Flick, I discovered it would be more likely that we could make a romantic trailer look professional. This is due to the fact that looking through chick flick trailers, each of the shots are in different locations, amounting to sometimes over 30 different locations. In the time space we are given to shoot our trailer, I believe it is impossible to create a professional and interesting trailer for a chick flick as we do not have the time to travel between 30 locations. I also believe that it would be more difficult to make it look professional with English actors as the majority of successful chick flicks are American, for example 'Clueless' and 'Mean Girls', (even 'Wild Child' mainly focuses on Poppy, the American student in an English school) and it would be extremely difficult to find a cast that could create an atmosphere of an American high school, especially as it is necessary to use a number of extras. Therefore, I believe that a romance would be more manageable as it does not require a number of extras or actors, as it is clear from previous romantic trailers I have studied, they mainly only focus on the main couple e.g. 'Like Crazy', 'Blue Valentine' and 'Revolutionary Road.' It also does not require such radical location changes so I will be able to spend more time on each location so that each shot is not rushed and works perfectly within the trailer.
