Long Shot:


This long shot was very successful as it is introducing other characters in the trailers which are not involved in the trailer a lot. It is clear that they are looking for their friend who has been taken. The audience might think that they are also in danger and make them feel on edge, this conforms to the idea of a horror trailer because our aim is to make the audience feel as if they are also involved in trailer. This also helps because the long shot allows the audience to see where the trailer/film is set meaning they might be able to picture themselves being there. The environment also allows the horror trailer to conform and add a eerie effect because it is the woods it is a very mysterious location and really links to our horror trailer. The location especially links to our film as it is easy for the antagonist to hide and grab the protagonist. 

Close up:


We used quite a few close ups in the trailer, especially to show emotion. This close up in-particular is very successful because it is a very personal item and is not something which is dropped only if someone is in trouble, this adds fear to the because it suggests the unknown and why has the phone been dropped, meaning it adds mystery. It is a very private item and the shot shows someone called "Claire" ringing, this adds a sad emotion as is it clear that the phone is the missing girl and someone is trying to look for her. People in the audience, stereotypically mums would feel very sad about this as they might put their children in that position. 

Tracking shot:


We used quite a few tracking shots in our trailer to add excitement, this allows the audience to feel excited but also on edge because it will make them feel like the antagonist is going to catch the protagonist and they want her to get away from something bad that could happen. I think the tracking shots were the most successful parts of the trailer because they add thrill and engage the audience.
