Whilst filming the sunset shots we took some photo's of our main character on a cross present at the top of the hill. We really loved this shot, and were going to use it for a poster design idea, however, because we didn't want our narrative to strongly reflect the story of Jacob in the bible, we decided not to use it.
Our film trailer is called Jacob. This film follows a young boy as he struggles to escape his social class and abusive mother. He has no choice but to conform to his working class background even though he has bigger aims. The film shows him finding an unexpected friend in the form of an elderly man who helps him to try and escape the chains of his social class.

Age differences
The Kid
The kid is a social realism/drama that follows a boy from a young age. As the narrative develops so does the boy and it follows him over a period of his life as he grows older.

Jacob
We followed a similar idea in our narrative but did not want it to be so dramatic. We only used one age change from a pre-adolescent boy to him in his late teens. We only reveal this at the end of our trailer and it is the very last shot coming after the title. This acts as an enigma and makes people want to watch the film as the trailer has only revealed parts of the narrative involving the boy when he was young.
