Evaluation

We decided to use the title scene and the end of the film as it will stay in the audiences minds if they see it last. If they saw it in the first scene and then watched the rest of the trailer then they may forget what the trailer was called. We also put all of the credits underneath the title so that if some the audience want to see who is in the film then they can rememvber there name when they see it at the end.

This scene shows an establishing shot of the main location of the trailer even though we had a few scenes with characters walking/running through the woods or down the pavement. This gives the audience the idea that the main killing will take place here. We also decided to use this scene when the surrounding light became darker as it conforms to the typical stereotypes that murder normally take place in the dark so that no one can clearly see the killer.

This scene shows a knife being scrapped along a table with in the main house. Before this scene we see the victim walk past the table towards the telephone so this gives the audience the idea that the killer is following the victim. By scrapping it along the table shows that the killer is ready to kill and that he creates tension within the audience. We had the close up of the murder weapon the give a clear idea to the audience that this weapon is going to be used soon and that it may be the main part of the trailer.

This scene shows another victim running through the woods. This gives the audience the idea that the killer changes the ways in which he kills as we have already seen him walking behind a victim and now in this scene it suggests that he is running. By having this scene in the woods conforms the typical stereotypes of a horror trailer as normally when you see anyone in the woods, they are normally on their own trying to find their friends or trying to run away from a killer  and this is the same case in this scene.
