Following on from the last post, we have been working more on our trailer. We have changed and added a lot but kept the basic structure from before.
To start with we added a green preview screen which instantly made the trailer look more professional. This is then followed by a group of establishing shots, which pan and fade into each other, similarly to before. The shots create a sense of familiarity with the audience, getting them to know where the trailer is set. Using an overlay we have added text which backs up the idea of our killer being dazed and confused as shown in our poster [here]. We have added the music we chose (Seme) which helped our editing dramatically, there was a drop in the song so we switched from calm editing to quick cuts of the killer and a sink, linking to the water theme.
We have added in lots of footage of tom, one of the victims, looking into mirrors which have the infinity effect. This shows his feelings, scared and afraid but duplicates it over and over, highlighting it to the audience. It shows his fractured being which is added to by the 2 super quick jump cuts of the killer - seeming like its in his mind and he is thinking about her. The trailer ends on a shot of the pier with a mysterious figure, the camera zooming in bit by bit which seems quite stalker like. This gives a sense of being watched and fits well with horror conventions.
The trailer is coming on quite quickly now, hopefully just a few weeks until it is done and ready for feedback.
