Sequence characters
My theatrical trailer has many minor characters who play a small part to the plot yet there is also a fair few of main characters that are shown throughout.
The Protagonist
The Protagonist, who is without a name (like in Fight Club and Following), is a man made redundant. Worried for his girlfriend more than himself, he attempts to get a job anyway possible. He appears quite a selfless character but it also seems he's love-struck; being almost obsessed with his girlfriend. Furthermore, this trait could hide his individualism.The Suit
'The Suit' is the Protagonist's superhero persona and the protector of London. 'The Suit' is extremely violent and usually leaves criminals in damaging states as he believes they deserve no better.
The Girlfriend
Whilst the girlfriend is fairly unseen, she plays a major role in the plot. She has an underlying love for the Protagonist and like him, seems lovestruck. Her absence in the trailer makes her an ambiguous character audiences will want to see more of. Her relationship with the Protagonist could also represent the 'starcrossed lovers' Romeo and Juilet.
Gangster Boss
Not much is seen of the Gangster Boss, he's primarily the reason why the Protagonist becomes 'The Suit' as he sees the character's seediness. He also appears during the end of the trailer when 'The Suit' attempts to fraud a crime and put the blame on him.
The Driver
The Driver is concerned for the Protagonist and asks him various questions about redundancy throughout the trailer. This is mainly for plot reveal but also how distressing the subject of redundancy is.
Title narrative
As my theatrical trailer is in anachoric order, which I would also intend the feature film to be;
I've decided to make my narrative brief and simple, like the synopsis of Memento:
"A man, suffering from short-term memory loss, uses notes and tattoos to hunt for the man he thinks killed his wife." - IMDb
'The Suit'
A man made redundant is forced to search for any job possible. Fairly unsucessful in his hunt, he becomes the superhero 'The Suit' to relieve his stress and accidentally gets rewarded for his efforts. Consumed with income, 'The Suit' becomes more and more concerned for his own sake than others.

Audience surveys
I created several surveys for a selected audience to answer, based around the superhero genre.
Mood board
My mood board focuses on all my inspirations for my theatrical trailer, possible costumes, possible locations and postmodernist ideas I could employ.

Intended target audience
Considering I already had a rough idea of creating a superhero film, I believe I could appeal to a wide audience from 12 - 40+ years across most demographics. However, as I figured out my narrative and worked on my postmodern, genre challenging plot, I started to reassess my original audience.
Specific audience profile:
As I was undertaking surveys at this time, I decided to query the survey audience on who they thought would be appealed to watch my theatrical trailer after reading a synopsis and character outlines.
Final intended target audience:
Male/ female from 15 - 30+ years.
D - B1 demographic, working to lower middle class.

Rough idea for audience:
Male/ female from 12 - 40+ year.
D - B3 demographic - working to upper middle class.
