I am refining my research and am now looking at trailers to get specific ideas that we can incorporate into our own.

The Lovely Bones
http://youtu.be/jvWXV-c2hWo
- Echoey voice, able to tell it’s from the past
- Shot of the man looking out the window (creepy)
- POV shots of someone watching Susie- we can use this in our film to get a sense of someone watching Lucy- create that unsettling feeling- audience will want to know who it is
- Shot of face where a beam of light is only shining on the eyes- we could use this as a way of hinting at who it is without letting the audience know
- Voiceover from Susie to explain what is happening- this would probably be more suitable in our trailer than a husky man’s voice
- To cut to next shot they have someone walk past camera, creepy whilst allowing to fade to black
- Shot of friend laughing with teacher- we become suspicious of them both
- Shot she is standing in front of the mirror, the reflection behind her is moving and staring at her
- ‘she’s after me’ ‘nobody’s after you’ ‘please believe me’
- Cut from girls kissing to her waking up in the bath- shows it could be day dream/hallucination
- Lots of close ups of her face looking scared, lots of her out of breath
- Shot of guards staring into camera- look suspicious- this could be used when thinking about how to get across Lucy being paranoid about other students etc.
- Lots of characters staring- creates an unsettling feel- close up of his face shows he’s uncomfortable
- Screams in the background
- Shots of prisoners walking into darkness- creepy
- Close ups of black and white photo of girl- could be used when showing the girl that got killed in our trailer, possible newspaper articles
- We can tell what’s a dream and what’s not as impossible things happen- the wife and daughter standing whilst on fire, pieces of paper falling from the sky- could maybe do something that happens in hallucinations that wouldn’t in real life- they could all have black eyes
- Gets phone calls at night- keeps him awake
- Shots of him in bed looking wrecked but eyes wide open
- Lots of dialogue hinting he can’t sleep- ‘can’t be easy after 3 days and no sleep- are you seeing things’
- Shot of man thinking he is drowning- this would be quite good in our trailer if we could make it happen as the girl gets drowned at the beginning- Lucy could hallucinate she is drowning/being strangled
- Another mirror shot is used where he has two personalities- could be used as well to hint at hallucinations
- Post it notes round the room could show she is going insane
- ‘how do you wake up from a nightmare if you’re not asleep’- title slides will help explain to the audience what is happening
- He starts to look more thin/ gaunt throughout the trailer. Costume and make up will help indicate to the audience what is happening as well
