What happening: This shot of the logo of our company. The logo will fade in ad out again.

Camera angle/movement: N/A

Special effects: Fading In and Fading out

Sound: Fade in of the Lilly sing a nursery rhyme.

Why? The reason why we decided to include our logo was because were wanted to establish that our company created this trailer. It also shows our how professional we wanted our trailer to look. We research a lot into trailer that were already created by big film companies.

NEW SCENE ADDED!!

Scene: 2

What happening: This shot will be the setting of the whole film. The aim of this shot is to show the audience where the film is set, what sort of location it is in and the time period.

Camera angle/movement: the angle of this shot will be a long/wide shot of the house and the movement of the camera will be shaky at the beginning and then still through out the rest of the shot.

Special effects: when this shot enter it will be shaky to create the effect that the audience are tuning into the story.

Sound: The nursery rhyme will continue throughout this shot. And the background tune will be introduced with a fade in between scene 1 and 2

I felt that wee needed to change this scene because when we looked at the footage it didn’t come out as we wanted it so we decided to use the still photos we took which was actually meant for are location report.

Scene: 3

What happening: In this scene the daughter is looking shared while reading a book and with a teddy in her lap. Her eyes will be looking at the door in the room. She will be acting scared and threatened by the foot steps she is hearing. This scene was change to have the girl sitting on her bed.

Camera angle/movement: Cut in with her facial expressions and cut outs of the door in the next shot. The camera will be a long shot with some close ups.

Special effects: Darkening the scene

Sound: The nursery rhyme will continue through out this clip as well as the background sound.

The reason why we changed this scene was because when we were I was planning the framing of the scene I was not clear on the size of the area we were working with. I did have a bit of an idea from jess but it was not until we got to the location that we could make the right decision.

Scene: was originally 5 but now 4

What happening: The shadow of the foot steps will appear at the bottom of the door, from right to left. The foot steps will pause in the middle of the door for a second and the carry on to the left.

Camera angle/movement: the camera will be a wide shot of the door and stationary.

Special effects: Fade in


In this scene we mostly stock to everything that we wanted to achieve of this it just in post-production which we change the position of the scene in the trailer because it looked butted in right after the girl on her bed. We didn't find foot steps which we like for the sound effect do we just continues with the nursery rhyme.

Scene: was originally 3 but now 5

What happening: Shot of door

Camera angle/movement: The camera will be stationary and will be a wide shot of the door.

Special effects: dark lighting in the room. White light around the door especially emphasized at the bottom of the door.


When we took this photo we wanted create a light effect around the edge of the door with footsteps at the bottom blocking some of the light. Unfortunately we found it really hard to achieve what we wanted for the photo so we just decided to dull the image out

Scene: N/A

What happening: Black scene.

Camera angle/movement: none.

Special effects: none.

Sound: background music, and foot steps as special effects.

Deleted SceneWas felt that when we were editing that this scene was not necessary for multiple reasons because it the two door scenes were pretty dark be for so the fade out of them made it look like there was a black out already also it made the whole trailer longer which we didn’t need.

Scene: 4

What happening: This shot will be of the good twin looking scared because she will have just seen the shadow of the footsteps at the bottom of the door.

Camera angle/movement: The camera will be stationary and the shot will be a close up of the girls face.

Deleted SceneWas felt that when we were editing that this scene was not necessary for multiple reasons because it the two door scenes were pretty dark be for so the fade out of them made it look like there was a black out already also it made the whole trailer longer which we didn’t need.

NEW SCENEWe add an extra scene in the trailer while we were editing because I felt that the trailer didn’t show the audience enough of the story line to even grasp an idea of what the film might be about. When I discussed this with my group we came up with the idea of adding a short and simple sentence in front of a still image. Our idea developed into adding white text in front of a dark cemetery image, in the font of a child's handwriting.

What happening: This will be a scene with the daughter playing with her twin in the living room.

Camera angle/movement: The camera will be at a slight low angle and will be mid shot of the two characters.

NEW SCENETo create a scary tension building effect on the audience

NEW SCENE/SWhile we were filming we came up with the ide of adding an extra scene leading up to the mother arrival into the living room there are four shot within this scene while they are form four different angle which are; long shot, panning, close up and over there shoulder. We thought that these different angle would show the journey in an interesting and unusual way. The shot all cut in and out of one another to show our editing technique.

Scene: 10

What happening: In this scene the mother will be looking in to the living room where the daughter is playing by herself. There will also be a over the shoulder shot of the mother to show the audience what she is looking at. When the mother turns away in the second part of this shot the daughter will be shown with the twin.

Camera angle/movement: The camera will be a long shot to start with then cut closer to an over the shoulder. Cut in and cut outs will be used to show the whole situation


Sound: Narration, background sound and daughter talking to herself.

We didn’t include the scene of the bad twin talking to the good twin in the living room because when we were filming we found it very hard and time consuming to get the shot set up right and how we wanted it to turn out. So when we were editing we made the decision to not include the part of the scene.

Camera angle/movement: Mid shot


Sound: background sound and daughter talking to herself a little bit louder as it is from the daughter point of view.

We still decided to film this clip but instead when we cam e to the filming of this clip we found a different approach to filming it which would create a more dramatic affect.
