When looking at other trailers, a typical convention of them had the production company advertised at the start only for a few seconds. I have created my own brand name and have kept it simple by simply having "A muddle box production" in white on a black background to then use a cross disolve transition to a different typography of it- cracked being the most likely at the moment to set the horror genre theme straight away similar to the typography in trailers such as "Hostel"
In these shots, I will use a photo collage of the actor with headlines such that post questions such as Murder?, What happened? Missing. Itll then have a transition into a candle being lit in front of this collage that the criminal has collected and created to then appear as a sort of shrine.
For this shot I want to try to create a spot light on the victims face of them having been tied up and this being all you can see so that it begins the trailer of slowly still asking questions.
For my middle section of the trailer, I want to use quick shots one after the other to build tension and keep viewers entertained this will be achieved by quick editing with effective shots. I have already played around with shots outside using water and the actor throwing it back up as a hint into torture or attempt of murder via drowning. The shots I did as practice have worked effectively and I will upload these as development towards my final trailer. The second image is just a hand trying to escape from being tied up. Simple but effective.
These shots are other ones I have thought of that I dont have to record much off to give a sense of what is going on. Tbere is a person being tied up and dragged by their feet. Then a display of tools and electrical equipment the criminal is using in his experiment.
Again, these are just quickly drawn, quickly thought of attempts to keep pace in the middle fast. There is a shot of seeing someone being wired and also another shot from the outside "drowning" shots.
This scene mirrors the start shot yet we see the actor trying to break away. Then again we are shown the shrine with the candle yet the candle is being blown out. This slows down the trailer bringing it to an end yet still asking questions.
