List Of Shots Used For Our Trailer

Shots we intend to use for our trailer

• Close ups
• Low/ High angles
• Wide shots

Close Up 

The close up will be used to show the final girl. As the final girl is brave and almost innocent, the close ups will convey this aspect. There will also be close ups of the villain although their face will never be shown. This will give off a suspicious sense as audiences will want to find out more about the villains past and why they are chasing the final girl (Riley). 

Low Angle

Low angles will be used to show the final girls dominance and authority as she is brave. Most of the low angle shots will be of the final girl glaring at the villain. It will also show a binary opposition as most of the time, the final girl will be shot in the light and the villain in the dark. This enhances light versus dark. Another binary opposition which will be made apparent throughout will be good vs evil. The good character will be shot from a low angle to show their bravery, although sometimes shot from a high angle to show that they are weak. The villain will be similar, however most of the time shot from a low angle to show their power. 

Wide Shot

A wide shot will convey a running or an escape scene. It will enhance Barthes' enigma code, which will highlight the aspect of 'who done it? A scene that will be symbolic in our trailer will be the running scene of the hero/final girl running away from the villain. This is a typical aspect from a horror trailer which moves the narrative. It also makes the audience feel on edge as the villain is never really shown. We only see the final girl running away and looking scared. We intend for the scene to be sped up so that it gives more of an eerie sense.
