Why I played most of the characters

When re-watching some of my favourite psychological thrillers, I noticed a lot of twists were hinted at in micro features that go over a lot of people's heads. For example, in Fight Club, we see Tyler Durden all over the film before he is introduced, hinting that he is imaginary. While The Sixth Sense uses the colour red to connote danger and helps guide the narrative through the film through to the final scene. In my film, the twist is that all the gang members are the main characters own demons and that he is literally fighting them. To connote this twist, I play every peculiar character that could be a bad guy to hint that it's all in the main character's heads and that they're all connected.

IMAGERY: There is only one main image and that image is a medium shot of the star of the movie. ...

CAMERA & TRIPOD: I used a camera and tripod to film my trailer, I shot my trailer over the course of three days, which you can find in these vlog links where I document my production as I film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdcZ8SHnwD0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV3mXf7LMyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v8lYiaCQ8c The camera and tripod were essential to the construction of the trailer as a lot of the footage in both the trailer itself and the vlogs helped the backbone of other projects like the magazine and other projects for other courses I'm doing. In these vlogs, the use of the camera is examplified and the lack of the tripod in one of the vlogs shows how lost I'd be without this equipment. PREMIERE PRO: Premiere pro is the software I used to edit my trailer. Considering that 831 companies use it for marketing (which is what I'm trying to do with my trailer) and over 1200 companies use it for entertainment and media production combined, I thought...
