Design Brief

After researching different film trailers I have reached some conclusions regarding my final trailer:

• I will use a cast of 3-4 people to ensure they can all be familiarised with the audience and so that it does not become confusing
• It will be around 2 minutes long so it follows conventions
• There will be a combination of paces, from slow to fast, which will give the trailer depth and momentum
• It will have a missing person storyline as my demographic agreed this was the most affective
• It will be set in the woods or countryside
• The score used will be fast paced and upbeat to build tension and suspense
• The most prominent shot will be a close up to show the characters reactions, however, it will include a variety of shot to make it interesting and engaging
• I will use low-key lighting to create a mysterious, eerie feel
