Filming

Through following the shot schedule we began filming. Of course through the process, we came across problems that we had to take care of and a prome example is that of when we began filming on our first day. We headed off to the house that was schduled for and filmed a descent amount of shots. Then finally when we decided to take a look at the shots on the computer, we realised they actually didn't work. So we learnt more about how we felt about the look of the trailer. This also was hit home to us when we took the shots of the scenes in which the killer confronts the final girl, however we were not happy with the lighting and so re did some of the scenes.

We attempted to follow the conventions of horror as much as we could when creating the trailer.

Below are some of the things we took into consideration:

The final girl is wearing black throughout the trailer as it connotes that she is haunted by her dark past.

Similarly the villain is always wearing black as he is the evil character, however the use of the white mask was to show some form of humanity as the killer feels his actions are just.

The setting was mainly in the dark. This was as it gives a spine chilling effect and mainly as we only wanted to show the killer in the dark, as it is the point people feel most vulnerable.

We placed an establishing shot of the university as we felt it needed to be shown so that the audience could see that we were going along with the idea that there was going to be a place that is supposed to be safe, is exposed by this evil character.

The knife is extremely important as it is a weapon used by many killers as it allows them to get up close and personal with the victims.

We also made sure the killer was completely hidden so that it gave him a mysterious presence and also a monstrous element like the famous horror villains such as Michael Myers.
