Sound Effects Used

Throughout my trailer, the use of different sound effects were essential - The sound effects of 'City Park' was used over my outside garden shots. This gave my shot more authenticity and emphasised the outdoors, with the use of wind and bird sounds.

I also used impact sounds, to emphasise a certain shot or action. I used thunder, door bells, ghosty sounds and long 'thuds' to give my trailer an edge and give more of an eerie mise-en-scene.

Here are the sounds effects used:

Rough Shot List

This was my first ever write-up of my trailer, it has been copied from a word document that I used, the majority of the shots and ideas had changed, however this shot list gives a rough idea in the start of my thinking process, and can be compared to the finished trailer. All of the shots are in chronological order of how I had imagined them to appear, although I knew this would be re-drafted many times.

(Heat beat, slow motion, echo sound of thoughts over logo’s.)

(Dad Dreaming in bed)
  • Est shot - House etc
  • Dad sleeping (get different shots)
  • Cut to black 
  • Nice family setting
  • Dad playing with son (different shots, take loads)
  • Wave the kids off (Mum drive off)Cut, Impact sound
  • First tagline
  • Police Statement ( Outside station ) ‘‘He’s back...’’
  • While policeman talks, he is a voiceover to some images of killer sightings
Dad waking up somewhere... wakes up in public looking disorientated

Wife paranoid... on her own looking at blood on clothes (laundry)

(shot looking won laundry, her looking down, her looking in thought, dropping clothes)
  • Diaglouge between them, she second guesses him 
‘‘Where were you last night?!’’
‘’I don’’t know, I woke up in a strange place’’
‘’ are you having an affair’’
‘’ I would never go behind your back’’
‘’ WHO ARE YOU??’’
