in mine and wills trailer this year we would like to use a variety of shots and not limit ourselves to basic boring shots.
EWS (Extreme Wide Shot)The view is so far from the subject that he isn't even visible. Often used as an establishing shot.
VWS (Very Wide Shot)The subject is visible (barely), but the emphasis is still on placing him in his environment.
WS (Wide Shot)The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as comfortably possible.
MS (Mid Shot)Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.
MCU (Medium Close Up)Half way between a MS and a CU.
CU (Close Up)A certain feature or part of the subject takes up the whole frame.
ECU (Extreme Close Up)The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail.
Cut-InShows some (other) part of the subject in detail.
CA (Cutaway)A shot of something other than the subject
Two-ShotA shot of two people, framed similarly to a mid shot.
(OSS) Over-the-Shoulder ShotLooking from behind a person at the subject.
Noddy ShotUsually refers to a shot of the interviewer listening and reacting to the subject.
Point-of-View Shot (POV)Shows a view from the subject's perspective
Weather ShotThe subject is the weather. Can be used for other purposes, e.g. background for graphics.

we would like to use many of these shots but not to over do it.

film treatment

the idea for our film is to create a horror film about a real myth called slender-man. there are many different names for the myth slender man such as the tall man or him. the film we decided by taking a questionairre will be called faded delusion, we chose this film title because we believe it adds mystery to othe trailer and will leave people guessing but doesnt give much away about the film.

the film will start with the main character investigating people dissappearing but starts to get to involved with his work as he starts to question families intensly upsetting them. he starts to investigate areas he shouldnt be which doesnt do him any favours as he begins to start getting the blame for being the mysterious hoax of 'slender-man'. the detective will then spot slender-man but isnt afraid of the myth and doesnt knows his true power and what he is capable of and is really eager to get an interview with the slender-man. he then spots the slender-man getting closer and closer to him but only get a glimpse of him everytime he turns his head. as he is running from the police he dissappears as the slender-man chatches him. at the end there will be a long distance shot of the slender-man standing showing the audience that he still exsists.

Location ideas

For the location of the trailer we are going to have to find a location which is very busy as we will be filming , also an area with good lighting as we are in winter now and lighting might be come a bit of an issue but classic borrow films the worst happens when it is darker so when we do film we will need to make the most of it as out trailer will be half of the characters to introduce them when the slender man is around and then we will film during the day to introduce the story line to the audience. We were thinking of using the woods in Ashtead or Leatherhead for maybe a chase scene and then for introducing the detective we want to use somebody's house to use as a news room , to do a report of sudden missing people.

Soundtrack ideas

When it comes to the soundtrack of our trailer me and will where thinking of using slow tempo music with a low bass and maybe heartbeats included. We don't want anything with a high tempo sounding like and action/adventure. We decided to do this because we are doing a horror film and horror films are normally slow temp to make it tense to attract the target audience, if someone liked horror films and it didn't intrigue then because the soundtrack was fast tempo and didn't make the trailer scary then the target audience will not be attracted to the trailer. The music needs to suit the genre of the trailer and me and will , will achieve this by doing more research on trailer such as paranormal activity , silent hill and other horror films.

this trailer is the type of trailer i would like to make for our film faded delusion
although it not being the same concept as i believe that a 'killer santa' is a terrible idea.

 

film idea

after talking with will we decided to try to make the trailer as tense and scary as we can by saying ' based of a true story/ making the audience feel like this could actually happen to them. we believe by doing this the audience will get a better experience and will want to come watch out film

slenderman

As will was walking home he decided to take a picture of a shadow of what looked like slender man but in fact he found out in the morning it was a fence and gate. this then brings up an issue that we might have with filming , is we need to film at the correct times to get the lighting spot on.

skyfall trailer

james bond is a highly successful branded film which has show to be huge successes in the past. its new edition to the collection skyfall recently released in cinemas has shown to be popular and talked about much with the lead actor playing James bond Daniel Craig being highly credited.
the trailer starts of at a past pace quickly flashing into James Bond holding a pistol walking through what seems to be an empty house searching for someone starting off the first enigma for the audience. it then cuts to him in a car chase scene with one of the cars turning onto its side again quickly indicating to the audience the genre of the film. a classic scene is a fight on top of a train whilst the train is travelling at a fast pace in a exotic location showing a fight scene as the trailer does early on. this trailer  shows a lot of landscape  early on then showing James |Bond being shot off a bridge the under water appearing not to be breathing which leaves another enigma. overall the trailers pace starts off slow then slows down with the involvement of M played by dame judi dench  with many more enigmas in this. the villain is shown later on in the trailer where James bond has been captured.

comedy trailer

happy Gilmore is a about a reject hockey player with anger problems who has an incredible drive for golf and can hit the ball 400yards+ which is played by Adam sandler (1996)
the trailer starts of panning around a fancy room with a few trophies in and then slowly zooms into a golf trophy. it then cuts to happy Gilmore driving of the tee in a hockey jersey. it then cuts to a scene of happy acting very angry smashing his putter into the ground in frustration following then anger trend it then shows happy slamming someone into the barrier in a game of hockey. the trailer then stats to set the scene that happys grandmother is going to lose her house unless they can raise a large amount of money to pay of debts. it is then when happy discovers his amazing shot can make him some money when he places a bet with the house removal workers.the way the trailer indicates to the audience that it is a comedy is the way happy gilmore shows his anger and the way the stereotypes of golf are there then you have the unconventional golf player happy Gilmore.
