Plan for the trailer

WHY WE HAVE CHOSEN OUR PLAN FOR THE TRAILER



As a group we decided what features we wanted to include in our trailer. We took into account that we wanted our characters to contrast as much as possible, with the girl (victim) being represented in light colours and the boy (enemy) being presented in dark colours. Also, when they are together it is a mixture. The features include:


Costumes
Mise-en-Scene
Sound
Lighting



COSTUMES

Girl - Normal clothing, something similar to what girls wear currently both in fashion but quite casual, too.
Boy - black trousers, black top, black coat and dark shoes to imply he is mysterious and like a shadow, following her or stalking her.


PROPS
Girl - phone, make-up, clothes, bag, shoes and iPod similar things to what a girl would have in every day, day-to-day life.
Boy - clothes - nothing too excessive so it shows he is there for one reason - to kidnap her.

CAMERA ANGLES

Girl - typically looked down upon, using a high-angle shot, to make her seem weak - linking with Laura Mulvey's audience theory.

Boy - shown from low-angle shots to show strength and power against the helpless girl.

Sound:

Boot slamming - loud so that it over-exaggerates as if it was an echo in the mind of the audience
Speech on the phone at the start - calling the police, like most people would if such a situation arose
Heavy breathing - to show that the girl is scared

Lighting:

Fairly light to start off with, continuing into darker parts of the film which shows how the equilibrium quickly turns into disequilibrium
Light in the scenes when the girl is shopping with her friend, goes into darkness when going outside and when the girl is alone - to show that something is about to happen.
