Camerawork
-Long establishing shot of flat building at dawn
-Long Shot of three friends walking/talking into the flat
-Close up/Panning of newspaper clippings - 'Flat 39','Mysterious murder','Shocking'
-Mid shot of friends walking up the flat stairs, LS low angle of friends walking up the flat stairs
A normal atmousphere with a mystery hidden is established, foreshadowing the mystery to be revealed later on
-Close up of the flat door shutting, being locked and latched, a focus on security, are they protecting themselves from what is outside? Or should they be scared of what's on the inside?
-Long shot of individual rooms in the flat to show stillness
-Close up's/Mid shots of doors being banged, pictures being moved, chairs on the floor, LS of all cupboard doors open in the kitchen, CU of fuzzy television
-Frequent close up's of the girl who lives in the flat, focus on her, she is more involved in the narrative, show reaction
-Close up's of other friend's faces, 'what is going on?'
-Long shot of outside, nobody is there
-Long high angle shot of outside, something standing in the gardens looking up at the flat.
-LS of people running outside
-As the trailer progresses, more Point of view shots, running/breathing, a character is more involved in the narrative than first percieved, shown through camerawork
-CU of hands, nervous, on edge
-Long, low angle shot of the flats 'FLAT 39' isolation, vulnerability
Editing
-Fades from the friends walking to the flat, to newspaper clippings, fades to large print 'MYSTERY', 'SHOCKING' to show that something is going on underneath the normal, everyday life exterior.
-alot of straight cuts used to establish a narrative of some kind, quickened pace in editing as the trailer progresses
-use of graphic matching of a high angle shot of a girl in the gardens to the female flat mate standing in a dark doorway to show the possession between the murdered girl and the girl now living in the flat, this shows a complex narrative.
Sound
-Begin non diegetic with piano chords perhaps as there are fades to the newspaper clippings of the mysterious murder, extablish that the event is sad
-diegetic dialouge of laughter, talking between the friends as they enter the flat
-As there are fast paced straight cuts of the door locking etc the music becomes eerie, louder as the atmousphere transforms from natural to paranormal.
-Sharp blasts of music to accompany the discovery of strange happenings such as the chairs being on the floor, the cupboards and drawers being open in the kitchen
-At a point in the trailer when there is the graphic matching of the girl in the gardens to the girl in the doorway, the music slows right down as a tense atmousphere is created
-The pace then quickens as the non diegetic bursts quicken in pace and increase in volume as the POV shots occur and the trailer overall increases its pace therefore tension and mystery.
-As the trailer progresses there will be an underlying non diegetic sound of a girl perhaps singing/laughing to signify that the girl's presence has not left the house, this sound could accompany the straight cuts of the different rooms in the house being empty and silent.
- I will also include if i need to, non diegetic sound effects such as the banging of a door or the ringing of a doorbell to shock the viewer and make the events seem real.
- There will always be underlying non digetic music to signify that even when events seem normal there is an underlying worry/presence, something is not right.
- I plan to get my sound from sources such as records or youtube and use the program 'audacity' to manipulate the sound, change it, slow it down, speed it up to create my desired sounds
Mise en scene
-Naturalistic lighting at the beginning, as i plan to shoot the outside establishing shots at dawn
- naturalistic props will be used in the flat to establish a realistic living area, so that when events do begin to occur they are more shocking to the viewer as the set is so natural yet there events still happen.
-The lighting becomes darker as the trailer progresses symbolising the ever growing mystery and fright of the narrative
- There will be a particular focus on character's body language and facial expressions to show the change in mood, for example, they are initially laughing and smiling, but towards the end they will be nervous and tense to show the change of events, so that the genre is established.
