Trailer

Yesterday we watched the trailer of the dramatic and scary film called A Quiet Place. AS we knew we were trying to make out own thriller trailer similar to this, I was looking for all of the key details to add to our trailer. I focussed on the camera shots, sudden black screens and sound. Sound is so important as it helps deliver what is going on and the emotional effects. Although the silence in this trailer made it very eerie and tense. 

Tabi and I decided that our trailer would be about a girl who went missing 8 years ago randomly. There were never any suspects of witnesses' and so it was like she vanished off the face of the world. In our trailer it shows what happened to the girl and where she is now after all these years. 

We used iMovie on my phone to film it and used a frightening layout. The idea was that wherever i went, the stalker would go too. The trailer started with me walking and then suddenly three quick camera shots of her walking as if the stalker was videoing me. We edited a recording and focussing feature of a camera onto the pictures which I think gives a lot of effect. For the next parts which we filmed, we did me running away and then when i thought i was safe, a hand covers my mouth and drags me away. Although we haven't finished, we have been editing along the way with colour changes and cropping little details onto the film. We left the sound in over the top of the chilling music we chose to give it layers and more interaction with the characters emotions. The shots that we have done include mostly action shots of someone following me as i runs away. 

The inter titles we thought were effective were very short and mysterious ones such as: 'have you seen Ella Rowell' and 'presumed dead' etc. We thought that this gave the trailer a gripping feeling ad the person watching it would want to know what happens next. 

Out next step will be to go into the class and edit it further using the schools laptops.
