Final Girl

Most horror trailers such as Scream 2 have embarked upon the use of Final girl as a sadistic approach by Roland Barthes as auidences enjoy females being tormented. This is based on Carol Clovers theory of final girl as a significant amount of horror trailers have used these technique as a method of leaving the audience in suspense this can also be reflected in films such as Eden Lake, in which female's take on heroic characterisitcs.

Ouija Board Scene

The Ouija Board scene was the most challenging area of production as it involved using a variety of shot types and editing techniques to form cohesion, moreover, this scene was is the instgator to the moment of disequlibrium as the teenagers get punished for their sinful acts as they realised a demon which comes back to haunt them, we intentionally shot these scenes in a dark room supplemented by candles to get a saturated effect and make the audience understand the concept of the scene.

Smoking Scene

This scene was set in the attic and involved the immoral girl being punished for sinful act this links in with Carol clover who suggested that the permiscious character always dies first, consequently based on Ava's costume and behaviour the audience can establish that she is immoral which results in her death. 

Edited Establishing Shot

This process involved getting used to Final Cut editing by changing raw footage into our media product

Being Watched

The concept of supernaturality is that the villain or spirit is never revealed which means that creating a effective and effiicient horror trailer would be more challenging, hence we embarked upon suing techniques such as in Paranormal activity, by putting a point of view shot of  the teenagers being watched the audience are engaged with the trailer. 

Establishing Scene

The establishing shot is a necessity in allowing the audience to be aware of setting, hence as our trailer iis based on the spirit of the supernatural we shot a old school which brings about emotions of fear but could also suggest that the college is haunted by demons.

Preliminary Scene

As a collective we required to gain some expirence on using editing shoftware, as well as being able to upload film footage. Hence, we delibrated and decided to produce shoots in which we could practice editing. As a result we practiced the moment of disequlibrium in our actual trailer, to get a feel of how it would turn out in the real production.
