0:00 to 0:02 shows the MPAA age rating for the following film trailer. The green band means that the trailer has been approved for appropriate audiences, so will only be shown before a film of the same rating. The green band shows the rating as R - strong disturbing violence and some language. This is typical to most horror/thriller movie trailers. The effect whilst the trailer is beginning and green band is leaving is unusual to most general trailers but a convention of a horror/thriller. It showcases the uncertainty of In-normality of what is happening within the trailer.
0:03 to 0:11 showcases where the trailer is based. I picked this signpost to showcase the location because it is old and ruined - almost like a place where you wouldn't enter and is abandoned. The signpost is also in the actual woods so you can see part of the setting behind. I zoomed in too really showcase the area and create tension as to what is going to happen within the woods.
0:13 to 0:18 shows a figure standing within an open pathway of the woods and then suddenly disappearing when looking back to where the figure was standing. To create the disappearing effect I took two shots of the figure standing in the pathway and one without the figure in the pathway. When filming the second shot I moved the camera suddenly to the right and left to give the impression of looking back quickly. When editing together I used a transition effect to make the two shots run together smoothly as though it is not the editing that has made the figure disappear but that it really did disappear. As the trailer is based on a true story the scenes must be realistic. I used long wide shots for this scene so that I could show the wooded setting and the figure clearly from head to toe.
0:18 to 0:20 shows that the film is based upon a true story. To add this too the trailer I used a programme within Premiere Pro. By pressing add title I was able to add in a frame with text and black background. I chose the font because it was simple, giving the trailer an eerie effect. This font is commonly used in horror/thriller trailers to state that it is based upon a true story.
0:20 to 0:27 shows the main character of the trailer leaving her home and heading out. Around 0:22 a second layer of film appears showing the girls POV of running through an alley in black and white. The black and white film shows the girl later on during the film when she is in danger and 'running out of fear' or 'running for her life'. The two films contrast with each other showing the calmness and normality of her life before the story begins whilst then showing the drama and action that is set to happen throughout the film. I am still working on editing the two layers together better so the screen is so prominently split down the middle. I chose a long shot for this scene as it shows clearly that she is leaving her house, that she is a young girl and that she is alone - these are all important aspects of the trailer. The black and white scene was filmed on a POV shot so that the audience can get an insight as to what the girl is going through during the film - making them want to know what she was running from and making it clear that there is some horror to be afraid of.
0:27 to 0:35 shows the main character walking towards her destination with again a black and white flash forward of what is going to happen throughout the film. It again contrasts with the calmness of her walking at the time to the action and drama later on.
0:35 to 0:38 shows a text message from an unknown sender. The message reads "If only she could see how guilty you were" implying that whatever happens to the character was inflicted on by someone she knew well. This also implys there is more of a story to who is kidnapping her, and who is messaging the said guilty person. These message could be seen in two ways. One being that the kidnapper is being stalked by somebody who knows their secret and the other being that the kidnapper is trying to set somebody she knows well up. By not making this clear the audience will become more intrigued to the film, making them want to go and see it.
0:38 to 0:43 shows the character walking through the woods as though she was being watched. I used another POV shot here so that the audience could clearly see, through the kidnappers eyes, that she was being watched along her journey.
0:43 to 0:46 shows the a closer shot of the kidnapper as the music speeds up. By placing this scene where the music speeds up it shows the rise it tension and the action is about to start. I have used a long shot from to shows the kidnapper, this allows the audience a glimpse of the kidnappers figure but does still not let them see who it is. I have included a lightning effect over the kidnapper to fit with the music, increased tension and connotes darkness, fear and to a certain extent power.
0:46 to 0:47 shows a title screen stating that the film is made by the same creators as The Ring, a popular 2002 horror thriller movie. This will encourage any fans of The Ring to come and see this film also, encourages fans of the director to see the film and those that generally like a range of horror thriller films.
0:48 to 0:50 shows the character quickly turning around with a look of fear on her face. This connotes that she has heard or seen something to make her want to look behind and what she has or hasn't seen has caused her to become scared or worried.
0:51 to 0:54 shows the second setting of the film. A wide long shot was used to show not only the wooden hut but to emphasize the fact the hut is located within the woods. The lighting behind the hut stands out to show the normality, calmness and safety of outside the woods whilst the hut contrasts with darkness and fear.
0:55 to 0:56 shows a review from Empire magazine a well known film review magazine. Empire states that the movie "Messes with your mind and will have you jumping out of your seating" showing both the horror and thriller aspects of the trailer. By including a review from such as well know reviewer, the audience are more likely to want to see it and decide for themselves or see it simply because they trust in Empires reviews.
1:01 to 1:10 show newspaper clipping stating facts about the characters disappearance. The first paper reads "Major concern for missing girl" showing that she has gone missing and their is evidence found for police to express concern, "Family recieves texts from kidnapper" could possibly link in with the earlier message or be a different storyline. I am again leaving this unclear so that the audience would want to see the film to find out more.
1:11 to 1:14 shows a POV of the character running through an alleyway into the woods. By having the character hold the camera and run the audience can see the story through her eyes which would eventually reveal what truly happened.
1:15 to 1:18 shows the girl and the kidnapper engaged in a struggle within the woods. This shows the connection between the kidnapper and the character and gives the audience a glimpse of the action sequences happening within the film.
1:18 to 1:25 shows a sequence of different past paced shots. This shows the audience the drama that happens within the film and the different action/horror/thriller scenes.
