Organisation

In lesson me and Caitlin have been doing different mind maps about the; props, setting, cast and ideas about the film. We have included thoughts about the 4 main conventions; mise-en-scene, sound, editing and camera. 

Cast
Beatrice Dix - The main girl
Samuel Barnacle - The stalker

Props
- We are going to use a strobe light at the end of the film to add more effect to the man, because as its a teaser trailer you using this light you will not be able to see his face clearly so it would remain a mystery of who he is.
-We are using the bath for one of our main scenes, we are using this to make the girl seem more vulnerable.
-Using the telephone for the girl calling the police, doing this and using the words 'he is here again' makes the audience know shes called more than once and has got a stalker.

Mise-en-scene
-The girl is going to be wearing a dressing gown as we are doing a bath scene, this would also make the girl seem vulnerable and the audience more scared for her.
-The setting is going to be at a normal house, the typical ones that are used in horror movies. This makes it seem like its just an ordinary girl, it makes the audience be able to put themselves in her shoes as if it was in a weird location they would not be able to do this.
-The girl is going to have some make-up on to make her look drained as in one scene we show how she doesn't take her tablets, we would do this by applying cream onto her face and then white powder to make her look more pale, then we would put eye shadow and the bottom of her eye instead of the top to make sure that it looks like she has bags. This would make it look like she is paranoid and cant sleep because of her stalker.
-The man that is stalking is going to have big boots and we could use this as an image in the film with the strobe lighting to make sure how you know hes intimidating.

Editing

-In the trailer we are going to have to edit each different frame to fade into each other so it doesn't look unprofessional.
-We are going to edit that when the girl comes out the bathroom everything is blurred to her - connecting to the pills she is not taking.

Sound
With the sound we are going to use loads all throughout the trailer to make it build up to the main scary parts, even when there is talking the sound will go quiet however you will still be able to hear it.

Camera

We are using many different camera techniques in our movie trailer
-Close up of the girl at the start as she is looking direct in the camera which shows how she is looking directly into the mirror.
-There's many camera shots with the bath such as long shots, extreme close ups and close ups - they are all going to be used on different things such as the taps, her and the bath.
-When the girl is running downstairs the camera is going to be held so its a point of view shot and how its coming from her,
-When the girl is standing there its also going to be like the camera is of point of view when the man is walking behind her until she turns and then it changes.
-There will be zooms with such as zooming of the establishing shot of the house and onto doors
-Panning making things more tense for the audience
We still haven't planned all of the shots yet as we haven't completed it however we will think of more for the rest of it
