2. Not enough typical horror We were told that not many of the
shots were particularly scary, and we needed some more that would
really get across the genre of horror. Because of this we added the
shots of Marissa lying dead at the bottom of the stairs, and
Yasmina coming to the crime scene.
3. Too repetitive We wanted to put a lot of shots of the Toria
in our trailer because it is an important location, and its scary
looking however we were told that we had too many shots of it and
we didnt really need that many. We took some of them out but made
some sound effects for the shots that we did have to ensure that
the audience knew it was significant.
4. Strange sound effects For the shots of the Marissa death, we
originally left the sound on it and turned it up really loud so
that you could hear the shot changing. However we were told that it
sounded really weird, and resembled the sound a dog makes whilst
panting, so we took it off by muting the clips.
5. Change of music We originally used a different track for the
opening of the trailer, but then we were told that it didnt make it
sound enough like a horror film. This is the track we changed it to
http://soundcloud.com/soniccenturyrecords/t he-mirror We were told
that this was much better as it made it feel more scary.
6. Narration We also planned to have some narration in our
trailer, to make the plot clearer. However we were told that we
didnt really need this, as it was clear enough what was going on,
and because the music was so effective we didnt want to ruin it by
putting someones voice on top of it.
7. Facebook Page We made a Facebook page for our Film and
included the trailer so people could tell us what they thought. We
got mainly good feedback, however some people had different
opinions on how many full stops should come after Knowing, and the
shakiness of the shots.
