My initial storyboard.



With my first intials ideas i had the idea of not telling the sotry stright away but jumping into the fast pass part of the film then having a flash back to the beginning of the film. The reason i had the idea to do this was because 99% of film trailers seem to tell and story and build the tension to the end. With theses ideas i thoughrt of having the tension first to make the audeince on edge from the first second of the trailer then relax the tension to make the audience think thats all that will happen but bring them back into the film but having the last shot and last 10seconds on edge again. The whole idea of film trailer: Camera angles,shots and genral idea is not very creative or imagantive but that can be changed and this is my own idea not my groups, who will have alot of input into the trailer aswell as myself.


After looking at everyones ideas as a groupe we started talking about the whole idea of our own film trailer and came up with theses ideas.

Camera angels:With horror the camera angles must make the victim looks innocent while the protaganist looks un-known and scary. Theses can be done by low and high angle shots. Me and my group spoke about the equpitment needed and the tri-pod was the best fitting. Also scanning/panning shots can keep into the genre showing the scary location

Dialoge: In most Horror film trailers there is not much dialoge as they can tell the audience everything they want by using Mise-en-scene and what you show in the shots. So like typicall horror films we will not be adding dialodge as challenging the conventions for such a seriouse film trailer might ruin it.

Editing: With the editing we wanted to make it are professional as possible so we watched alot of diffrent horror trailers and also other genre trailers to see how they differ. We all decied that we wanted it to start of with alot of tension but slow paced to tell part of the story line but not give alot away. Then we want the turning point half way through the trailer from slow paced to fast editing action and alot of drama. This turning point is in every horror film trailer as it draws the audeince in and into wanting to see more of the film. The editing of the shots will be cut into the music again to make it look more professional.

Mise-En-Scene: Through the mise-en-scene of our film trailer we are hoping to show diffrent characters with diffrent angels, lighting.

Setting/Location: Location will be down a lane called 'Bread and cheese' which is quite scary in the day and will be very mood setting at night when we film down there. It is very quiet so there wont be much trouble using the whole of the road.
