Rough Cut

This is the first full draft of our trailer in which we have all the clips which we wanted and put them together. Although as you can see many clips need to be re-shot and some even just taken out completely. When watching it back we found it looked more like a short film rather than a film trailer. We asked our friend and media teacher for feedback and wrote down what they had to say about it and how it could be changed:

1) There needs to be more 'jumpy' parts as it will increase the tension for the trailer.

2) Shots need to be shorter, or broken up more as it is more like a short story.

3) Reaction shots need to be added as we did not film any for the rough cut.

4) Different shots need to be added, such as more experimental ones as they ones we use are all basic.

5) In the cupboard scene we need to direct our actor to struggle more as she does not look scared enough in the first shot.

6) The lighting of 'Lily' in the field and also the abductor coming up the stairs needs to be clearer as at times it is hard to see them.

7) The background music needs to be changed as it does not fit the trailer.

8) The natural sound that is picked up needs to be quieter as it is too loud and covers up the tension of the background music.
