Firstly we had planned out how we wanted our trailer to look, with shots drawn into story board sheets, we then uploaded the shots and converted them into a still video. This shows us the shots that we need to have, and the mood/tension they create and emphasis on. We also took into conisderation the sounds, although the music is not ours, it acts as a guide for us, so we know to keep the editing of shots in sync with the music.
This is our planning section for our story board sheets, which helped us to make our draft trailer;
The trailer starts off beginning with the production companies and eerie music. It will show images of the production companies such as film 4 etc. It will then move on to an establishing shot of the park and then an image of the sun going down.
Then quick scenes in which it will show characters happy at first enjoying themselves then it will fade out to darkness will be shown. It will have a quote in between this transition saying “I have never physically felt this scared in my life” and it will be a quote from a magazine from a movie.
It will then have many people surrounding her asking her “what’s wrong”. It will then fade in to a happy scene in which leaves are falling from the trees and the main killer is walking calmly through the streets as leaves fall around her.
The voice over man will then proceed to say “Being ordinary isn’t easy”.
It will then cut to another shot of her with the other main character in which they are talking and he says “come with me let’s have a bit of fun”.
The scene will then fade out again and the voice over man will then say whilst the darkness is occurring “everyone has their breaking point”.
It will then have a few shots that are flashing every half second as if to give the effect the light is going on and off constantly. It will be her ripping photos off her wall. The next few shots will involve her grabbing one photo, circling specific people on the photo and putting sticking a knife on the middle of the image. The next shot will be transitioned through flashes however they will be dark flashes and it will zoom into the image, flash back again and show the boy smiling, then flash again and show the knife on the photo of his head.
Throughout this all the eerie music continues however when it flashes screams will be heard in the background. The screams will be slightly loud however not too loud that they are overpowering the eerie sounds. However when the eerie sound in this trailer stops during the flashes and the fading out the screams will be the only thing heard.
It will then move onto a shot of the boy that was with the girl at the start of this tied to a chair with cello tape over his mouth and him panicking. The girl will then proceed to say “revenge is sweet” with a knife to his cheek. Throughout this entire shot it is completely quiet apart from when she says these words then the tempo of the music increases slightly after. It is then a shot of another boy talking to a girl; it then cuts to them hugging on the bed and then an image of the girl in a mirror behind them just looking over them. It then flashes and shows the boy on the floor dead in a puddle of blood and then flashes to the girl with a knife raised over the bed before cutting to screams and the words “stop it, please don’t stop it”. It will then move to the killer hugging the boy she was with at the beginning then transitions forward to her being angry at him and asking him questions.
After the end card it is the camera handheld. Panting is heard and so is a heartbeat. It shows the killer (Raquel) walking towards the camera on a normal street. The camera then hides behind a wall and as it pops out again for another look she is looking directly at the camera and says “Where you going” before showing an evil smile.
The montage sequence will consist of a lot of panic throughout it all. It will contain chases the girl chasing the main boy; it will have a knife with blood on it and the blood dripping off the knife. Then it will show the shots of one of the character screaming. A shot of a body twitching on the floor with blood around the mouth.
Ambitious - If able to do it I will have the montage sequence slowly get smaller and it ends up in an image of the girls eye as she begins to smile and the montage image continues in her eye as her smile becomes more evil then it flashes to the end image which shows the name of the film and the cast. Preferably with smoke surrounding the wording.
