Re-filming

Whilst I was looking through my second draft and have decided to re-film areas to make it look more sinister.

I am doing this re-filming tonight and the shots I am going to film are;

images of Dom stuck on trees (last one being a still from my previous footage)

close ups of words scratched into trees

creepy toys sat at bottom of trees.

Second cut of trailer

This is the second cut of my teaser trailer, with this one I haven't yet added any extra sound effects, but have kept the diegetic sound, this is in order to increase the tension within the trailer it makes the audience more connected with the main character as they are able to hear her panicking.

What I really like about this version and find effective is the transition effects I have used, I feel this works as it is very quick and also keeps the pace of the trailer very quick. Also I think using just little extracts of each shot and placing them in but broken up is effective as it shows a sense of confusion and urgency.

When I re-edit this version of the trailer, rather than re-start it like I did after my first version, I am just going to alter some shots. Next weekend I am re-filming shots, so there are more shots without my main character in it; yet are still related to her. The reason I am going to do this is because I feel my trailer still needs to feel more sinister and creepy and I believe this is the best way to achieve that goal.

Music for my teaser trailer

After watching many trailers for the genre of psychological thriller I have found that the music is either extremely happy and optimistic to make a strong juxtaposition between the film itself and therefore making the audience wanting to watch it; or it is quite quiet and uses a lot of low pitched instruments and starts off with lots of long notes which then begin to speed up with the build in the tension.

I am planning on using low pitched long notes for my teaser trailer and then also incorporate sound effects to increase the tension and to heighten the effects within the shots.

Trying to find a font.

During my first rough draft of my trailer I just used one of the fonts already on livetype, this font however doesn't quite fit the genre and feel of my trailer so online I am researching into the right font to download it.

I'm using a number of different sites;

www.fonts2u.com

www.dafont.com

www.1001fonts.com

First version of teaser trailer

This is the first version of my trailer, once I took a step back and watched it properly I noticed that it doesn't really fit in with the genre of my trailer, due to this I have already started to re-edit it in a different order and using slightly different clips. Other main changes I am making is to take out the film festival logos as they take up too much time and doesn't stick with the idea of trying to make this a really fast paced trailer. Also I am going to alter some of the sound effects I used in the background as they sound unrealistic and to over the top.

Also I am planning on making the shots a lot quicker and sharper when I do my next

version of the trailer as this I believe fits in with the genre of thriller more.

Final Storyboard

Below is my final drawing for my storyboard, however I do understand that it might alter slightly once I start filming it.
