My trailer opens up with this very quick shot of a ‘lamppost’, I

decided to use this, as I felt that It would enable the audience to

identify that it is night, a shown by the bright white light, and the

bold black background.

The next shot used, again is very quick. I decided to use this sign, so that

the audience are able to understand that the setting is now in a street. The

reason for choosing to use this is that both the previous and this shot

enable the audience to feel safe with what they are watching as I slowly

build on setting.

The camera then cuts to this shot, a ‘close up’ of the door being

unlocked. This sends out a mysterious feeling, as they do not yet know

who is behind the door. Slowly building on the tension.

I then take the audience away from the door, where I have used an

establishing shot, to create this vivid image that someone is being

watched. The glisten of light coming from the mid point of the screen,

creates this spooky feeling.

The camera then cuts to a girl ‘Jessica’ walking into the house.

From this point on wards I feel that the audience will be able to

understand that she might be in danger.

The then placed my first piece of text into the trailer. I decided to

make the writing simple and to the point. My reason for choosing to

use ‘obsession’, is because it doesn’t give too much away, yet it lets

the audience think.

I then let the audience for the first time, see who is following the girl. By him

touching the window, suggests that he is obsessed with the girl (links back to

previous title) and that he wants to be closer to her. The bright light which I

used again, is to replicate that is night. The reason for setting my trailer at

night, is because I felt that the audience would feel more threatened, as

during night-time you are much more vulnerable. I addition to this, the

audience know more than the girl, therefore dramatic irony is created,

making them feel sympathy for Jessica.

The audience are now able to see that someone is inside the house,

slowly creeping upstairs. This shot was simply used to build on the

tension and fear for the audience.

I used this shot of the girl brushing her teeth in the bathroom, so

that the audience are able to understand that this is just like any

other ‘ordinary’ young girl. The audience at this point know that

someone is behind her.

This title was used, so that the audience are able to understand, that this

girl is in danger. The use of the words ‘young girl’, both create an

innocent, naive girl who is in danger.

We then see the girl go to bed. Turning off her light, with her

back facing towards the camera suggesting that she is totally

oblivious to what is about to happen.

The next shot is used, shows the hand creeping slowly towards

the door. The reason for choosing just to show the mans hand,

was so that his identity is revealed, making the audience wanting

to know more.

The audience are then left with the man facing directly at the camera. This

is a very fast shot used, to create that final impact at the end of the trailer.

The mans identity isn’t fully shown, he is still moulded in with the

darkness.

I then end with a quick half a second shot of this eye. This is

used as a symbolic object throughout all of my other media

products. I got this eye off a clip, on You-Tube.

I used a voiceover to illustrate the title of my film. I felt that

by using a girls name, would have more of an effect, as its

more personal.

Finally ending with the release date of the film.
