1.In the first screen grab i have chosen a scene where the reporter and being chased by the Slenderman who is in the background watching him run. in this screen shot it also introduces the actors with the titles. This is a long shot of both characters and leaves the audience with a big enigma to why he is running? How powerful is the Slenderman? The location this is shot in the woods which is a prime location for the Slenderman likes to strike. You can see the Slenderman in full costume and we used a long shot to show both characters and the way in which the Slenderman is watching a frightened reporter. we chose t do this long shot because it shows the extent of fear that the reporter is feelings and gives that feel to the audience.
2.In the second screen grab we see a black hand of the Slenderman reaching to shut the door on the reporter with the annotation below ' The reporter that got too involved' leaving even more enigmas for the audience. We use a POV shot ( point of view ) giving the audience the feel that they are the Slenderman watching the reporter. This also helps introduce the reporter and shows how interested the Slenderman is with him. We also used the titles in this shot to give more of a trailer feel to the audience and explain the story more.
3. For the 3rd screen grab i have chosen from the trailer when it fades to black from the little boy playing, his mum has just been interviewed by the reporter and says ' Watch out' there are more shots like this to give the horror feel in the trailer and the tense music that goes with it will get the audience thinking and make them tense as they will be thinking they have to watch out for Slenderman.
4. In this screen grab is show the reporter sitting down on his laptop writing up his story as with every reporter its hard to get that story that will make them a well known reporter. This introduces the character of who he is and what he is doing which shows in a later screen grab.
5. This screen grab shows the little boy who has just seen something , drops his toy and screams looking right at the audience who have the feel of how scared the boy is. It also tells the audience that the Slenderman is following the reporter as he finds out more and starts to leave trails that the reporter could be being set up by the Slenderman.
6. In this shot is shows the Slenderman being introduced with a medium shot slowly getting closer and reaching towards the audience suggesting he is saying ' you're next' as he reaches towards the audience it will make them scared and he gets closer quickly with editing. This also shows location of the woods which we also see in screen grab 1 and the reporter running. The Slenderman is wearing a suit but has no distinctive features just a blank face i feel this makes him very scary and fits in perfectly for the horror genre.
7. In this screen grab is shows the reporter sitting down watching the news, looking for a story to make himself big. sitting down in his dressing gown shows he his career isnt going as planned and maybe he can find an interesting story to make himself big. In this shot we used an over the shoulder shot which pans into the news we felt this was very effective giving the audience the feel that they are in the room.
8. This screen grab shows the title of our film using basic black and white which we feel is very effective and stands out a lot to the audience. We have chosen teh same font throughout the trailer which we feel fits in well with this horror trailer. Faded Delusion to the audience will make them know straightaway that it is a horror film and a dark film.
9. This is a screen grab of our production company which we made ourselves. It is a British low budget company which has won a few festivals which is shows also in the trailer. This also tells the audience that the company supports horror films with the name ' Graveyard Productions'. The animation was created by using Adobe flash. This is a god shot because is allows the audience to see that this is a low budget production. It adheres to the conventions of a horror trailer by having a gravestone and lightening and this production shows that our production aims towards just creating horror films.
