Sets and shots

The place where i have decided to film most of the trailer is in or near to my house this is because it is easy to access and i can film there at any time. Shots that i have decided to film are the wife finding out of the affair and smashing thing inside the house and going mad. another shot is the wife in a car and showing full beem light reving a car in the road. Also a shot of the lover all covered in blood and the wife following close behind with a weapon.

The story line

My story line starts with a happily married husband (Dan) and wife (Sarah) out on a walk. He goes to a party with out his wife and cheats on his wife and she finds out that this has happened. The wife turns psycho and goes after the woman that her husband cheated with she tries to kill her and follows her. The husband must decide to stop his wife and save his lover or let his wife enact her revenge and keep his wife. The wife then turns on him and he ends up in deep trouble not knowing if he will live or die.


This is a picture of a mens polo shirt i have put this up here to show the type of casual wear that my actor will be using. i have chosen to use this casual wear to show it is just like every day life and that this story can apply to anyone, this will also mean a wide audience can relate to the film.

Another film trailer that i have looked at is Nightmare On Elm Street one of the best horror movies of all time. This trailer does not tell you who is the main character and keeps his image very low key. This adds to the tension that it tries to build up with the other images of the killing that it shows. Another part that i like is the voice over and how the deep voice captures the mood of the film so well.
I can learn from this trailer that the telling of the story does not need to be done in the images that are used and that the voice over can be very effective.
As a class we watch the spider man two trailer to get a feel of what a trailer uses to gain big audiences. What i liked about the trailer was the way that it managed to build up the story with the music that it used and the shots used getting more dramatic and the way the shots were edited to get faster. Also the slides that it adds telling the audience what spider man will face is great as it again builds the trailer up.
I can learn from this trailer that music is all important in making a traoler work and that quick fast editing is a fantastic effect that i will be using in my trailer.
