Establishing shot

This is a establishing shot used in the film 'The Woman In Black.' A establishing shot is used to show the audience the where the scene/action is going to be taking place.  Having this as a establishing shot helps
keep the audience on edge. I'm going to research the best establishing shots used for horrors so i get ideas for mine and then can relate back to my research when creating my story board.

 

Close up

 A close up shot mainly focuses on the persons (villain) Its effective as it highlights how afraid the character is of the villain. I think that with my teaser trailer it is best to use close up shots but not only on the murders ect. face but on things like the weapons/blood etc. to make it seem for dramatic as it associates with the killer eventually.

Extreme Close up 

A extreme close up shot is used to show/reveal a persons emotion. This shows how the woman is looking around showing how shes anxious creating tension for the audience. I will insure that i will use this as it shows fear but wont give away too much of the plot.

Long shot
A long shot shows the whole person, it shows off the costumer area is mise en scene. I could use this in my teaser trailer if my villain or victim was to have a certain prop/costume. If you didn't want to reveal too much of the surroundings you would use this instead of wide shot.
Low angle
This shot automatically gives power to the main subject, it makes the audience feel like the person you can see has power and is looking down on the other character in the story. If i used this in my teaser trailer it would make the audience know who's the bad guy and in control. 

Wide shot

 A wide shot shows the subject in the frame and its surroundings, In this shot a wide shot is used for the audience to see the door creating suspense that you are going to see something come in/ walk past.
