Lighting and Camera Angles

Plan B

There are interesting aspects in this video that could work well in our teaser trailer.

The lighting for example creates shadows and is very dark. Grey is a prominent colour emphasising the darkness. The focus is also rather interesting in this video because as the camera angle tends to become a close up on Plan B in his cell, the camera goes slightly out of focus and this is one of the things I noticed in psychological horror/thriller films. This means the audience can't see clearly what is happening so they must use their imagination. There are also camera angles used in this video that could work well in our trailer, for example the close up of someones feet as they leave bloody footprints.

The lighting at the beginning of this video resembles the type of lighting technique we may use in our trailer. The lighting once again casts shadows. Because the light is fairly low key, the audience cannot see what is in the background, this could work to our advantage in a trailer. The lighting is not steady, and this can make the audience feel uneasy if shown with the right image.
