First things first, I have story boarded what I have planned to happen in my trailer in which I will scan on to the computer and upload to my blog. A story board is not only essential, but it gives a more easier structure to my trailer which will help me decide on what shots to use when filming and what I need to do for my editing.
With parts of my trailer being filmed in the woods, I have decided to film this part in daylight. Although it isn't really common to have daylight in horrors, the woods is quite a closed area with trees blocking the sunlight and creating different lighting. Also with the woods setting being filmed in black and white, it will erase some of the lighter and friendly tones and be replaced with cold and uncomfortable grey scale effects. I also want the black and white editing to signify that it is in the past. This idea was influenced by Tony Kaye's fim, American History X where scenes that Derek is retelling, are in black and white. It also invites the audience to put themselves in the characters position as he is also discovering and watching the video recordings for the first time as well.
