After capturing the initial shots of our killer, we noticed that we didn't have any shots of the victims. It also came to our attention after showing our rough cut to the class that we reveal the killer far too early on in our trailer. In order to create tension and give the trailer a dramatic feel to it we needed to keep the killer more hidden to make the audience anticipate what is going to happen next.
We arrived at the private location at around 9.30 on day 4 of filming. We captured a number of very effective shots which created an opening scene for our trailer, opposed to a compilation of shots of the killer as we had before. As it was mid november the weather worked in our favour as a misty morning is perfect for a horror film, giving the footage an eerie feel to it, along with providing us with appropriate lighting for filming. One of the opening shots shows the victim approaching the killer, we decided to face the killer away from the camera to create the tension as i mentioned earlier.
We returned to the private location for day 5 of filming a few days later. Our intention was to re-shoot some of the shots we had filmed on day 4 as they had not been framed exactly how we wanted or were of a bad quality. However the trip turned out to be very successful as we came up with some new ideas for shots that would be perfect for our trailer. One of the new shots we thought of was too show the victim running back to the car as a point of view shot from the killer, instead of the tracking shot we decided on first of all. Another idea we had turned out to be the best shot of the entire trailer. The shot was a point of view shot from the victim, it was very unique as it showed the killer slowly walking towards the camera, we then had an idea whilst editing to cut the shot up and place long fade to blacks inbetween, giving the impression that the victim was fading in and out of consciousness.
