Evaluation - Question One
View more presentations from Matthew Lakey.
After analysing my feedback from my target audience about my rough cut trailer. I decided that I would try and include more horror film conventions in my final trailer. By doing this it would be more clear to my audience as to what type of effect I am trying to create with this trailer.
The first big convention I wanted to include, was the use of low key lighting, low key lighting is where the scene is usually very dark and the only light you see is that of the character that the camera is focused on. Seeing as I would have more than one character on the screen at one time, this became a bit of a problem. Then I came up with he idea of a night vision effect. It would give the impression to the audience that the trailer is all in pitch black, but still allows them to see everything that goes on.
I chose black transition screens as black is the colour that we relate to death. Any texts in the trailer has been wrote in red, as we relate the colour red with blood. Both death and blood are common conventions of any horror film or trailer.
I also included a mysterious character in my trailer, one that the audience wont find out who it is by purely watching the trailer. By doing this it makes the audience want to watch the film. Its a cliffhanger, I used it to draw in my audience even more!
To follow conventions, I also used a very weary soundtrack alongside my trailer. The song I used is quite progressive and becomes a lot angrier as the trailers progresses. When tensions begins to build in the scenes, the song reflects this with a deeper sound.
At the end of my trailer, I added the famous release title, but instead of giving a certain date I simply used "Coming Soon" I did this as I believed that this adds to the audiences urge to find out more about the film!
