Here is our final and completed horror movie trailer. The create this movie trailer we used many different techniques, shots and angles. It took many attempts to get the angles and timeing right for the trailer to be finished and ready to put on the blog.The trailer opens with an establishing shot, showing all of the characters that will feature in the film, the content of the shot makes it apparent to the audience that the story involves a trip of some sort. A series of shots follow showing the group travlling to their destination. Jon is driving the car in the shots and two shots feature just him, suggesting to the audience that he may play an important role. I was positioned in the middle of the car shot of the girls as i was going to be the victom in this trailer, to show that i am the key character. There is then a shot that pans from the moving car to a sign that reads Strictly no entry. This sign is symbolic of danger and an indication of what is to come. This idea came from the analysis of the 'Eden Lake' trailer. Following this are the camping shots. This sequence of shots begins with a high-angled shot of the entire group, that pans up as the characters walk off into the woods. This not only establishes the new location but is also representative of the group entering a dangerous situation. This shot then cross-dissolves into a shot of the group camping. A mid-shot of just me and Jon talking follows, again suggesting to the audience that we are the main characters. There is then a short shot-reverse-shot sequence that shows me and Jon having a conversation, where i reject Jon as he tells me he likes me . At this point the music changes, increasing in intensity, as this is the point at which the story begins to move into a state of disequilibrium.There is a long pause and over-the-shoulder shot that ends the sequence also suggests that what has just happened is significant. The next shot fades onto the screen to show that time has passed. The dialogue signifies the turning point in trailer, where the story really starts to unfold and the real mysteries begin. It is known that if the audience are intrigued by unanswered questions then they are more likely to go and see the film that the trailer is promoting. There is then a flash of Jon's (the antagonist) eyes that fits in time with the sound crash that is present. We achieved this by using the razor tool to split the shot and add a fade to white transition. There is then a caption that appears reading, who can you really trust?. This along with the previous extreme close-up of Jon's eyes, suggests to the audience that Jon may be responsible for the disappearance of them both. The music changes and increases in tempo as we see shots of me alone in the woods. Here we have used 2 long shots at different distances to show that i am alone and to also portray her as inferior and weak and out of control. There is then a shot framed in the same way as the earlier group shot, again showing how she has been taken from a safe group situation into danger. The final shot in the sequences is shot as being from the antagonist's point of view, as he follows me. This helps to build tension. At the end of the shot i turn to face the camera, as there is a crash in sound. This is very effective and also helps to bridge this sequence and the next. Brfore the fast pace music starts again there is a bit of silence to create more tention. There is a last quick tempo music at the end, so we decided to cut the shots quick aswell to fit in with the music, and to create tention. The short varied shots help suggest to the viewer that the film is packed full of action. The variety of shot types used make the sequence interesting. There is a short shot when i am hiding with blood on my neck. I think that my acting skills have allowed me to portray fear and panic really well here. my favourite is the shot of me getting dragged, screaming, away from the camera, and was the most fun to film. I think thats this shot ends the sequence dramatically. The film title then appears which is conventional of a horror trailer. In any trailer the film title will appear at the end so that the viewer is more likely to remember it. The trailer ends with someone holding a knife with blood over it, but not knowing who is holding the knife and who's blood it is. This will make the audience what to watch it and see who has been killed or injured? our trailer also follows Freytag's pyramid theory and I believe that the overall representation is also typical of a horror. We also used technique that makes the production companys name and the film title grow in size, this i feel makes it more interesting and creates tention. Overall i think we used many conventions, as we used the cast and crews name at the end of the trailer and we also used the productions company name at the beggining and at the and of the film trailer.
