For the trailer, I chose to do a theatrical trailer as I feel this would be best for this kind of film. The complex double plotline requires a little more presentation to the audience. However, I've also tried to show this through how I've structured the storyboard, flicking between the band and dilemma of the mines. This presents to the audience the multiple issues, and continues adding to the problems with the band losing at contests, and Postlethwaite's character, Danny, collapsing. The presentation of all these problems is to make the audience want to know how the characters will overcome all this in time for the film's end. I have also chosen to use very little speech, using "Now are we playing or are we packing in?" towards the end to show the resilience or possibly the breakdown of the band, and the "Land of Hope and bloody Glory" to finalise the trailer, the same way as it finalises the film, in summing up the satirical view of the country being so 'wonderful' when they have all just lost their jobs. I've decided to use the two pieces of music 'Floral Dance' and 'Danny Boy' as these are contrasting. 'Floral Dance' is to show the light and jovial nature of the film, whilst 'Danny Boy' shows the more melancholic side, especially with the progression of the problems presented. I have tried to create a sense of ambiguity at the very beginning to draw the audience in, and to make them curious, with the revelation of the Brass Band in the eighth frame. This is also to show that the film is not just about Brass Bands, it's about the devastation the closure of mines brought to families.
