We thought that a clip showing our characters from behind a bush could help build the tension and suspense, as it gives the impression that they are being watched by someone.
When filming we tried to find an effective way of recording a conversation between two people and so we filmed it on a slight diagonal, but we may try and use a variety of different shots to get the dialogue across.
Roughcut of trailer:
This is the first roughcut of our trailer, and after watching it we decided to evaluate it by showing it to our teacher and asking for comments. As a group, we felt that the trailer seemed more like a short film, and so we decided that many of the clips needed to be shortened and have faster cuts to ensure the tension and suspense was maintained. The scene that shows the abductor walking up the stairs towards 'Lily' is the only one that we feel confident with, as we feel it really creates tension, but we will still refilm the shot as the quality is not great. Additionally, the trailers length is too long, and so we will need to cut it down to make sure we stay within the guidelines of an actual film trailer. Furthermore, we also felt as though the music we used did not compliment the film as it didn't fit in with the clips, and so we will have to research into other music that we could use. When we refilm we will have to make sure that we use more reaction shots to ensure that the shocked and surprised looks on our characters link into other reactions shown in thriller films when important information is revealed. We will also change the cameras position to show a change in power and another goal is to use a variety of shots during the conversation between the two friends. Moreover, the final scene that shows 'Lily' struggling in the cupboads will need to be refilmed, and when we do, she will need to struggle more to ensure it seems realistic.
We will refilm our entire trailer using this timetable:
