Evaluation One Task - Camerawork and Editing

We understood the importance of the use of editing and camerawork in our trailer, and also how it can help make us succeed. All conventional trailers have smooth editing and also use a wide range of different editing techniques but also camera shots to enhance the intensity and enjoyment of the trailer. I believe that the different types of camera work along with the different types of editing techniques used in our trailer enabled us to allow the footage run smoothly and kept it flowing. This could be identified in our scary place build up, where Dan and I were using the same type of scary/fear combinations throughout the trailer but the different uses of fades/cuts which contrasted the length of the shots made it feel different and more effective. The use of the camera work that Dan and I used could really be identified by the use of different camera angles in which we used. These different camera angles added to the intensity feel of the trailer and the fast pace of the sound/music/dialect.


I feel like that in our trailer is to an extent conventional in regards to the editing and camerawork. We used a range of different quick nappy shots that got the audience interested and to increase the intensity of our trailer, along with the use of fades which can be conformed to other different horror genre trailers, but we also consistently changed the camera angles and made it less conventional to the genre, but also added a lot of effects as shown by the screenshot below.


Here is a screenshot to show the use of our camera work. We closed up on Dan's face and thought of this shot very carefully as there is no movement in the background. It is a POV (Point of View) shot, just in formation with the genre of the film. Furthermore, the camera is at a very low angle which shows hints of the unconventional style.
