Myself and Caitlin have made a detailed plot for my horror teaser trailer as I thought doing this before doing a story board would help me and make it easier for me to understand.
Beginning - There is an establishing shot of the house where my trailer is going to be set on the night time, With this shot I would try to block out any other houses near by to make the girl feel more alone later on in the trailer when you get introduced into the man.
After this I would want an over the shoulder shot to show of the girl looking in mirror and down at her tablets being given to her as you can see her trying to put them down the drain. She then looks up and sees a man behind her quickly and then when she blinks he has gone.
We are going to set the first shot in a bathroom as it would make the girl seem more vulnerable. There is then a long shot being used at the same level of the girl in the bath so you can just see her head. As the camera moves above her she goes under the water.
After this there would then be a close up shot being used to show her come quickly up out of the water when she hears a noise.
When shes up there's a silence and extreme close up to the bath tap dripping to cause tension. There's a extreme close up of the girls face when she starts to hear other noises like creaking. This is when there's fast pace editing of the girl grabbing her stuff/getting a towel on.
There dripping on off her hair just standing still making the silence feel more dramatic and a close up to the drips leading into a black out. With the black out to another scene.
Coming out of the door its all blurred having a flashback to the bathroom from her tipping the tablets down showing how shes got something wrong with her. She goes to check downstairs with a dolly camera following her. When shes at the bottom the camera shows a wide shot showing how the door is open from a far. She then she runs to close it and turns away from it with a medium close up having a relief grin/deep breath. As shes that way there's jump cuts of the man behind and then we see him pop up behind her in the dark without her knowing. As she takes some steps away the man tries to open it she shut and locks it and starts running out towards the front door. The character scrambles to the front door in an attempt to escape the house however the latches are on the door so the character is in a panic and has difficulty getting out and this can be shown with a long shot. A pan shot shows the girl looking back and then a close up of the lock again and as she looks a second time with a pan view the man then appears in the door way of the living room with low key lighting to make it more fearful.
We are going to be using a strobe lighting for when there is close ups of the mans body/objects as it represents disorientation and chaos. The fast pace editing is then going to show close up shots of his boots,hands,objects leading up then to his face so we finally get to meet the character. This is when the film will get interesting and terror will start to kick in.
