Film Trailer...






1. This screen shot shows an image which is normally at the start of trailers, we used this in to make the trailer seem professional and realistic.
2. "JLMV Productions", normally have a shot at the beginning with the name of the company who produced the film etc.
3. Long shot - Opening shot of child with mother playing on swings, happy. We added an effect to make this shot grainy- show it is a different time and to give the effect that it is a home video.
4. Medium long shot, tracking shot. Child running, looks at camera and smiles- very similar to home video style footage. We added an effect to make the image grainy again.
5. Medium shot - Child sliding down slide towards mother, again we used the grainy effect. Shot to show happiness.
6. "Just when everything seemed perfect", title shot to reflect what you have seen in the previous three shots.
7. Over the shoulder shot - Through a living room window, see mother and child playing happily in 'safe', family environment. However in contrast to this image the person whos shoulder we are looking over is mysterious, dark and creates tension.
8. Cross fade effect.
9. Close up - A pair of feet, creates tension as the audience want to know who the feet belong to. Short crisp image to tease the audience.
10. Fade to black.
11. "There was always someone standing in the way", title shot to reflect what you have just seen in the previous two scenes.
12. Cross fade effect.
13. Close up, low angle shot - Child sitting in corner, looking scared. Change of tone - previous to this we have only seen the child happy.
14. Cross fade.
15. Close up -Hand opening door, hand had glove on, audience want to know who this is. Torch as the only source of light to the shot adds sense of mystery and helps to build tension.
16. Cross fade.
17. Close up - Child in corner again, puts head down- clearly scared by something.
18. "Prepared to reveal the truth", title screen which explains some narrative. Doesn't tell the reader much so this draws them in through their curiousity.
19. Extreme low angle shot - Camera really looks down on the child now, as though we could be looking at the child through the eyes of whoever is there.
20. Medium shot - Child clearly scared/ upset by something- we want to know what it is.
21. Fade out.
22. Fade out complete - Child has 'disappeared', reflecting the idea that the child has been taken by somebody.
23. "To take what is rightfully theirs", explains the last scene and confirms really that the child has been taken.
24. Cross fade.
25. Long shot - Mother sitting in the street, clearly distraught, doesn't know what to do.
26. Medium shot, tracking shot. Man walking with child. Taking the shot through some bushes makes it more interesting to keep audiences attention and also gives the impression that they are entering a location with a lot of foliage.
27. Long shot - Mother running, false hope as the mother thinks she has found her daughter only to find that it isn't actually her daughter.
28. Cross fade.
29. Long shot, tracking shot - Man and child walking again.
30. Extreme long shot - Lighting changed, reflecting the passing of time- they have been walking for a while now.
31. Cross fade.
32. Medium shot - Again the previous shot and the cross fade reflect passing of time.
33. Close up - Child still unhappy- unsure of what is happening. Creates tension as we sympathise with the child.
34. Close up - Mother in car, idea that she will travel any distance to find her child and will do it as quickly as possible. Dialling number on mobile- who is she ringing? what will she find out?
35. Close up - Mother on phone, can't hear other end of the conversation- tension, audience want to know what is happening.
36. Close up -Mother on phone, we can't hear responses, only her questions. Tension continues to build.
37. Long shot - We now get a shot of who we assume she is on the phone to. But we never hear what he is saying. Drops phone on floor.
38. Close up (of phone whilst feet walking away) - Phone lights up, is it the mother trying to ring again?
39. Extreme close up -We see the screen of the phone on the floor, see that it is an "unknown number" calling, mystery as to who it is.
40. Extreme close up - Mother- make up smudged, clearly distraught, worrying.
41. Close up - Filmed with camera circling around her as she spun round too. Disorientating. Makes the audience feel uneasy which, in turn, helps to build tension.
42. Cross fade - Mothers face fading into childs.
43. Close up - Child, still unsure/ worried.
44. Extreme long shot - Mother in middle of road, frantically searching for child.
45. Close up - Child, looking even more worried.
46. Cross fade - Childs face fading back into mothers.
47. Close up - Mother increasingly distressed.
48. Close up - Mother spinning around again, searching. Facial expression gradually becoming more desperate- tension builds.
49. Close up - Child, delicately looking around her.
50. Close up - Mother looking around her- fast, a contrast to previous shot of the child. Tension.
51. Long shot - Child spinning around- parallel to what the mother is doing.
52. Cross fade - Child spinning merges into mother spinning.
53. Close up - Mother spinning, Disorientating- tension.
54. "Missing", "Visit www.missingfilm.com". Most trailers had the information which we have included over these next three screen shots, we therefore used this convention to make our trailer more realistic/ authentic.
55. "Coming to cinemas near you" - Makes film trailer appear more realistic.
56. " January 2010" (+ actors names, director and producer. Also logos and age certificate information). Makes the film trailer appear more authentic.
