Second Draft Teaser Trailer

Untitled from Annie Byrne on Vimeo.

This is an improvement on our first draft trailer as we were able to use high quality filming equipment and also able to use IMovie which is software that allowed us to cut clips, rearrange them and add transitions etc. This film trailer doesn't really build up tension. It cuts from each clip to the next. Fade to blacks need to be added in and the pace of the film trailer should start slow and get quicker in order to add tension. The close up of the eyes adds drama to the trailer, showing the audience how to feel at that moment in time. Keeping the storyline simple adds suspense, simple storyline for a horror trailer makes it easier to play on fear.
To make this film trailer more memorable to the audience some key features need to be added. Text inserts puncuate the trailer. Music over the film trailer helps the build up the tension of the film. To make this mroe effective, the sound needs to fit in with what is happening in the trailer and make certain parts of the trailer to stand out to the audience.
Our second draft trailer was edited by myself and Annie with input of decisions from Jamie and Liam.
