In our clip we used a vast amount of extreme (high and low)
and dynamic camera angles because of the enticement it can bring
to our target audience. There were many reasons which influenced us
to make the decision to choose horror as the genre for our film. In our trailer
we used a multitude of camera angles but primarily used angles such as wide
angle and mid shots on a good quality go pro camera. Firstly you see the
group walking towards the camera which is panning backwards which is one
of the most acquired/generic shots in horror films. After distributing a
questionnaire around, the results showed that the majority of the people
wanted us to do a horror film. This influenced us to stick by our idea of the
genre being horror. After looking in more detail at the codes and conventions
of horror films we analysed what shots and atmosphere to create in our
film trailer i.e. extensive use of long and mid shots to emphasise
the sinister-ism of our film, some film examples used was cabin in
the woods and Friday the 13th.We were influenced to use ideas from the
horror films because using the correct sounds and music, you can create a very
effective film trailer as horror films have a very distinctive
atmosphere which can be easily emphasised by sinister music and sounds.
