Test shoot
This was a test shoot in which we became familiar with the functions of the camera, we were able to test out a range of shots. From the variety of shot that we took, we familarised ourselves with the editing software, explored the different layers and sounds.
Favourite Trailors
My favourite horror trailer is of the film insidious. It includes a wide range of shots at different speeds. It has enough narrative to inform the audience but not so much that they tell the whole story. I like the different shot speeds as it adds depth and it prevents the trailer from becoming predictable.
Many trailer now tell to much of the narrative, so the audience does not feel they need to watch the film. trailers are used to build suspense and excitement, however now i feel that the build it, play it out and resolve it all the the minute and a half.
i like insidious as it still keeps to the key conventions with out ruining the narrative and suspense. It also really scares me, sometimes i am unable to watch it through to the end because its so scary. This is because of a story line that can be reality, mixture of shots, good text and sound not gore.
