Script for our presentation:

Presenting our production:

Caitlin:

Initial ideas:

The idea of doing an action trailer stood out to us as we have seen previous years and they worked really well. Although this was the case we decided that doing a horror trailer would work better, this is because we have had experience doing a horror opening 2 minutes and our coursework in year 12 was based on the horror genre.

Lydia:

What is your film about?

Our film is about an innocent teen who gets ‘snatched’ she is walking through the woods alone and gets taken by an unknown character. The teen who gets taken then comes back at the end to haunt a close friend. This adds mystery to our trailer because the audience are going to wonder why she is back to haunt her friend and was it her friend who was the unknown character who took her?

Caitlin:

Where we filmed:

We filmed in Norbury woods because it was well known to our group this is because Hannah walks her dog there and she suggested filming there. The reason we decided to film there was because it is very eerie and dark which conforms to the stereotypes of a horror film. Also the area we chose is very quiet which meant we weren’t going to be disturbed by the public and we also knew we weren’t going to scare people either.

Lydia:

Obstacles you had to overcome:

On the first day of filming Hannah wore a blue coat and when we went back to film on another day she wore a grey coat, meaning she wore different outfits which didn’t work, we only realised this once we had filmed and got back into class to edit so we had to re film it again on another day, this set us back quite a bit because it was quite difficult to get all the group together because of different jobs and lessons.

Caitlin:

Strengths of your production:

We believe that the most successful part of our trailer is the music, we recorded this ourselves and it adds a very eerie effect. The voice sounds like a child which also makes the trailer really scary and works very well.
