Music Choice

For the music that is placed over the trailer I used a sound called 'Dramatic Trailer'. 

I chose this as I felt it went with the theme of my trailer and it also creates suspense as the trailer plays. This music clip starts out slow and gradually picks up speed as it goes on. 

This fitted well with my trailer as I feel it slowly builds the audiences suspense until the music gets faster and the trailer gets more dramatic and shows quicker cuts from each clip.

However, i may change this sound track as it is only short and may not cover the whole contents of my trailer.

Improving Trailer

As the trailer is nearly completed I have watched it through multiple times and decided what parts need improving and adding in. 

For example, I have noticed that as the clip runs through, this section of the trailer skips a part and the stalker disappears. This looks unrealistic and shows a problem caused during the editing as the video shows a dramatic cut of the stalker from the video. I will edit the trailer and take this part out as I feel it is not needed anyway. 
I hope by doing this, it will improve my trailer and give it the realistic effect i have intended. Also, it will keep it looking as professional as possible.

Another part i am going to improve is this part where the stalker is scrolling through the victims Facebook and pictures. I am doing this purely to improve camera work as i have noticed when watching this part of the trailer, the camera is moving about quite a bit which makes it hard to concentrate on what the trailer is trying to show the viewing audience. 


I am also going to be adding new clips into my trailer to improve it and try and get the best grade possible. I am planning on adding in daylight scenes as the trailer contains only clips in the dark. Using daylight scenes will imply to the audience how long the stalking has been going on for and also how extreme it actually is. These clips will be placed in between the clips with the text shown on them.

Clips we are going to add in include:
The stalker watching the victim at her home
The stalker watching the victim walking to places
The victim tied up and trapped after being kidnapped. 

By including these clips i hope to make my trailer as gripping and as interesting as possible so the audience are left wanting to watch the film after seeing the contents of the trailer.

Continuing With Filming

Now that the majority of the trailer is completed, this has gave me a clear view of what clips need re-filming and also what i can add in to improve the quality of my work. I want to leave the audience wanting to see what happens next. 

The additional filming will include shots at day time as the trailer so far takes place in the dark. This will give the audience an idea of how long she has been getting stalked for and how frequently it is happening. 

The new filming will also include improving some camera work I have noticed needs redoing as my work has pieced together.

I have booked a camera with Mr Liddell for Tuesday 13th December.

Costumes

During my trailer their are no special costumes used apart from the stalker wearing a hoody most of the time. As the film is based in winter, the nights are dark and cold, therefore the young girl getting stalked is wearing casual winter clothes. This includes a coat, black jeans and trainers. 

 

However, for the stalkers costume, although it is still casual clothing I have ensured that it was all black and hooded to hide his identity. The black clothing keeps him hidden in the darkness and the hood does not show many features, keeping himself shadowed. This is so that the victim can not identify him if she ever sees him.
