Trailer idea

Visiting the setting in which we were to film, i had an idea that we introduce ALL the characters through a process. The characters such as the homeless guy and the boss would have nothing in common, however, i imagined a continuous flow of a folder being passed around. The first character to hold the folder would be peter, and as he is homosexual we decided that there would be nail varnish chip on his nail... this seems as a incorrect representation of a male homosexual character because he is not a cross-dresser but the group thought this would raise questions and convey ideas on his persona as there was no other way we could think of. The trailer would start from him going through files and trying to find a document which shows the current financial situation of the company. The file would be taken into the meeting room where all the workers are waiting for the boss for a meeting. Peter sits down and everyone takes a glance through the folder before the boss comes. The folder is making its way where the boss would sit. Each character taking a glance would have something about themselves summing up their character. For example the employee who suffers from ADHD would fidget and distracted. The boss would then walk in after everyone has taken a look at the file and through camera shots we will reveal she is a muslim woman. Ideally, we would use camera shots which makes her look superior i.e, shots of her walking - her shoes. Then when she sits down it will be revealled who she is. She would take a look at the folder get frustrated (one of her character traits) and will shread it/ or she would get angryand dramatic throwing it out of the window . The bin would make its way outside where the tramp would be.
