When filming and developing our film trailer there are some key factors to consider and they include the use of camera angles, the editing process, sound and sound effects, music, special effects the setting and the dialogue with the film trailer.
Camera Angles: Camera angles are very important in any media filming and we should take care over what ones me and my group use when filming for our trailer. We should consider the use of suitable equipment for example a tri pod, we will use a tri pod to keep the camera steady so that the shot is not unsteady or shaky as this will portray to the audience that we were not competent in using the right equipment. There will be many different camera shots and one of the main ones that we will use is a low angle shot of the proposed killer as they are the most powerful character where as when we are showing vulnerability and weakness we will mainly use a high angle shot to portray this to our audience. Through the use of both of the shots we will be able to easily identify the power/superior difference between the two people.
We may also use a tilt shot starting from low down then rising up to show the power and emphases of the killer and this will also help to create tension and it will help to set the genre of the film if the audience did not know what one it fell into and we will frequently use close ups to show the characters expressions and emotions as this is a key part to our trailer because there are so many feelings and emotions being portrayed within it.
We may also use over the shoulder shots as we feel as a group that this will effectively show the audience two sides of the same story and we hope through the use of this shot that it will create even more tension and we will see different things through different characters views.
Editing: As a group we decided that we want to start our trailer with a high emphasis with lots of tension but starting of at a slow pace and we will try to do this by making cuts in certain scenes where it may show suspense or tension and we hope that this will give enough information to the viewer without giving the whole plot away. When we see romance we will effectively have lots of different shots to show romance but the speed of the shots will be slow to allow the viewer to absorb the romance but when there is drama or tension we will make cuts but at a higher speed to show that it is an action thriller and this will help to draw the viewer in further. Through the use of speed we hope that it will make the genre of the film known and we will also include captions within the trailer that effectively tell some of the story and on the captions we will use certain effects to make them fade in and out of the trailer to match the pace of the trailer at the time and this will also help to break the trailer up and as the captions have a high emphasis placed upon them this will help to make the viewer aware of what is going on because they will think about what they are seeing on screen.
We are also planning on having certain parts of our trailer in black and white and this will help to show that parts of our trailer are being portrayed at two different times.
In our trailer we will use different types of music as we believe that it is a key part to our trailer as some of the music will help to set the scene and may also build tension so it is vital that certain music is played at certain times during the trailer as we hope that some of the emphasis will be on the music and it will create tension at places and peacefulness at others and also through the use of music it will help our trailer to run more smoothly and flow much more better where as if we didn't have music then the trailer would be dull and boring so the music side to our trailer is very important.
Mise-en-Scene: Through our mise-en-scene it will allow us to portray different people and there characters for example the villain, the victim or the hero. In our trailer both the villain and the hero retrospectively will be both wearing suits, this is because when people see suits they automatically think of power or authority and as both of these characters are capable of anything we thought that the suit matched the part perfectly. The victim will be wearing normal clothes as this is the opposite to a suit so we hope that this will portray her innocence and vulnerability. We plan to film in different locations and one of the main locations being the woods, we chose this as this effectively portrays the sense of being trapped and we will also use different locations of enclosed spaces as this will again show the sense of being trapped we may also follow some conventions of the film noir period through the use of blinds and gates where the lines will run across there body's to show that they are trapped or being targeted and that they are unable to escape or hide.
Sound effects and music: The music we have chosen to use in our trailer will consists of a heartbeat as this will show tension between the characters and it will also help to define the genre of our film, we will also use another music track to again help set the pace of the trailer and through the use of different music it will allow us to place different emphasises on different parts of the trailer and we may also use some sound effects to portray fear and danger for example a scream or a loud bang which also follows the conventions of the genre of our film which is action/thriller.
Setting: Some of our trailer as i have said will be filmed in the woods as this shows the sense of being trapped and enclosed and we also believe that this location will add to the variety of locations that we will use in our trailer, we will also use the school grounds as this will enable us to again show the sense of being trapped and enclosed. During our trailer we will also have a car getaway scene to represent the sense of escapism and we will speed the scene up though our editing process to show the car moving in excessive speeds this is because we could not carry this practice out in real life as we had laws that we had to abide by
Dialogue: During our trailer there will be the bare minimum of dialogue as we feel that the music and the footage alone will generate enough sense of tension and will create the genre of the film its self but when we use speech it is for a reason as the parts where speech is present carries a high importance as it either tells parts of the story or it informs the viewer of something happening in the trailer.
