Shot list

In our trailer we are mainly focusing on the use of close up and extreme close ups to focus the audiences attention on small details throughout the trailer, this is very common in horror films. However we will use a variety of different shots to help build tension, making it more difficult for the audience to guess what's coming next.Some of the key camera shots we will use are:
  • Close ups- We will use multiple close up's during our trailer, this will emphasis key moments in the opening. We will also use it to highlight facial expressions and create more tension with the audience.
  • Establishing shot- This will be used to introduce the viewer to the location, in this case the woods. As the woods is a commonly used location in a horror films it immediately indicates to the viewer the genre.
  • Long shot/Medium shot- This shot will be used to portray body language of the characters, this will represent how even the character feels fear therefore so will the audience.
  • Tracking shot- Although this shot will be hard to film we are going to try and track feet walking highlighting that the victim is alone and vulnerable.
  • Extreme close up- An extreme close up is very similar to a close up but normally it focus on one key part of a frame, this helps to show exact details and portray emotions.
  • Over the shoulder shot- shot of someone/something that is shot over somebody else's shoulder, can be used to track conversation or to show somebody else is present during a particular shot.
