construction of teaser trailer

At the sart of the third construction of my movie trailer i had decided to strip the trailer back to the opening preview screen, i kept this as i believe it makes the trailer more believable and professional as a trailer, also in my audience feedback i had recieved that this was a good point of our trailer as it is a typical convention. Also by this point i has added text which reads 'FROM THE MAKERS OF SCARY MOVIE AND SCREAM'. I put a fade to black effect and a cross dissolve effect on the pictures to make the transition run smoother.

In this screenshot i am showing how i have added a quote which reads 'BEST HORROR SPOOF SINCE THE SCARY MOVIE SEQUELS'. I made this quote on behappy.me. Me and my partner made and included this quote as we had found from our research that quotes from magazines and newspapers was a typical convention of a movie poster and believed this would make ours more professional and effective as a teaser trailer. I added this quote by importing it from my files, dragging it on to the editing pannel and adjusting the length of time it remained on the screen.

I then screenshot this to show the progress i had made. Within this screenshot it can be shown that i have added a clip of my filming to the trailer including a midshot of the main actor. Beneath this clip you can see I have added two recording clips. I used these recording clips as a voiceover within my trailer which say 'best horror movie since the scary movie sequels' beneath the quote which reads the same thing, i believe this would add excitment to the audience and draw them in, the other recording says 'A documentory about a bo...girl who thinks they're not entirely alone' This hints to audience the underlying story to my trailer, also revealing the genre of the trailer. I had also added more animated text which reads 'HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH FOR RUS' this creates a tense atmophere to the audience but also included with the clips it creates a sense of humor to portray to the audience the spoof angle. 

In this clip the progress i had made is adding a new clip which reveals more about the movie and the spoof horror aspect, it carries on from the previous clip. I believed by showing a clip and then allowing a screen of text to be shown through the middle would draw the audience in, also giving a spoof horror feel, from my audience i also found this was a typical convention so i believed it would be effective towards the audience.
I believe it creates a very intentive and interesting mise en scene about the trailer using this as there is both horror and comedy conventions

In this progress shot I have added a new piece of text which reads 'COMING SOON, HALLOWEEN' I believe this would be effective in furthering the point that this is a teaser trailer to the audience, creating a very prefessional, effective and higher quality mise en scene to the audience.
I also added a very comedic clip to the trailer of the main actor being possesed in bed but then hearing a loud bang and falling out of the bed, I believe that this would be very effective in connoting to the audience of the horror spoof angle as this clip holds both horror and comedic conevntions. At the end of this clip i also included a black ou effect so that the transition between this clip and the following clip i would be using would flow very smoothly together.

In this screenshot it is showing how i added a new clip of the main actor partaking in a ouija board, I believe this would be effective to the audience as it holds a very strong horror convention which would be brought to the movie, but the way that the actor is acting brings the comedy convention which creates a clear mise en scene to the trailer for the audience. I also added a fade to black effect between the two clips so that the transition of the trailer would flow smoothly and efficiently making it professional and high quality. 





In this progress shot it shows how i have added a extra clip which shows the main character hidden in the bedroom wrapped in a quilt which shows him spinning his head round in a possesd like way. This connotes to the character that is it a clip from later on in the film which causes a tense and intruiging mise en scene to the trailer, the way the character is dressed and the body language of the character holds the comedic elements for this shot.

In this progress shot it shows how i have added an extra clip to my trailer, which is a fairly long clip and i believed because of the conventions of this clip that if perfectly fits the end of the trailer. It includes the camera crew entering the room and looking around the room for 'Rus'. He can't be seen until the final shot where he is standing looking possesed within a corner which shows the horror conventions of my teaser trailer.

Within this progress shot you can see that i have added two sound effects which offer a very sharp sudden noise, one which you would expect to hear within a movie trailer. I added these by copying the link from youtube and then using a youtube to mp3 converter to convert the sound and download the file. I them imported these sound effects into premier pro and cut them down and placed them where i deemed appropriate, i placed them where 'Rus' is revealed in the last shot and also the clip where 'Rus' is wrapped in a quilt cover acting possessed, i believed that this would bring comedic aspects to the trailer.

Within this progress shot you can see that i have added an underlying constant theme tune which would be played for the duration of the trailer. I made the volume of the theme tune which is an instrumental to a james bond song, I used this as i believed it wouldn't be completely serious and may be able to bring a comedic aspect to the trailer as well as creating a tense atmosphere. I made the soundtrack quiet so that it wouldn't clash with the voice recording and the sound effects i had previously mentioned.

In my last progress screenshot the progress i made was a text screen which reads 'INSIDEOFRUS' which is the name of my film, I did this as from my previous research i found this to be a typical convention across all film trailers. I believed this would make it look more professional and it would inform the audience of the name. I also put a blur in blur out effect as well as a black out effect on the title screen to give the title texture and to show skill so it didn't look so simple.
