1st Draft Film Trailer

The following clip is our first attempt at creating a trailer. Looking at it now it can be quite humorous and entertaining bad to watch. Use of costume and lighting are not used in the footage. The first cut is Sean and Rowan walking towards the camera in a long two-shot, which shows communication. The next shot is a pan shot which shows Rowan walking into the forest area while somebody is watching him. This creates suspense by showing the audience that something is about to happen, by showing Sarah hiding behind the tree. No sound is used while Rowan walks into the forest. The next cut shows Rowan in the forest while Sarah attacks him by stabbing him in the back. Sean then finds Rowan lying on the floor after wondering why he has taken so long. For this clip a handheld is used representing the point of view of the killer (Sarah). A still shot is used showing myself and Sarah run out of the forest down the hill. I believe a more appropriate shot for this would have been an establishing shot. The following cut is a still camera also with me and Sarah running past in a cat and mouse situation. I believe if produced properly this can be a interesting effect. The final part shows Sean hiding around the corner from Sarah, while she runs past not detecting Sean. The camera pans onto Sean hiding while Sarah runs past. I believe this is also quite a interesting idea.

There are some parts in the clip which were attempted twice and were not edited out. This is because we decided to try and create something with no editing. Scenes were Sean finds Rowans body were attempter twice, and the footage of Sean running were Sarah chasing him down a hill. On the clip with the still camera with sarah and sean running past also, you can see sarah in the background waiting for her que to run. Also on the final part you can slightly see Seans arm before the camera pans onto him. In the future we need to make sure we are not making mistakes like this because though it is quite humorous, it looks unprofessional.
