1). The first picture appears at the beginning of the film, and is used to introduce the institution used for my selected film. I thought this was key as it would be essential to the genre and storyline of my film. As many other films like I am Legend, have followed the same storyline as myself, i though using the same institution would massively affect the audience I'm trying to target. As the same and similar movie go-ers would be more influenced to go and watch my film if seeing a similar audience.
2). Is one of the pictures which emphasises the importance on the setting and location of my film. As its called 'Alone', and the whole base of the story is for the most part a masculine hero defending himself against the odds and different creatures. So because of this it was key that I picked a built up area with some growth, and in every shot my actor was the only one to be seen. ( Unless intended to). Which is the same with this genre of horror films, the hero must be firstly depicted as venerable. Then rise up to the challenge and defend himself, which most of the male audience could associate with themselves.
3) This displays the impact for the horror genre and the use of my camera work. This shot shows my lone hero walking past an alley way, and in the next shot ( after he passes) a figure sprints across. This camera work and my editing was key to my trailer, as from an early outset its clear its a horror film, and although my hero might think hes alone he very clear isn't. Which sticks with the normal conventions of horror film, the lone hero being stalked unknowingly.
4).7). Both of these pictures show the importance of title font and style in my horror film. In my research and planning it was apparent of what the style and colour of font can effect the normal horror film. I chose to use a Red colour font, as it would work well against the dark background. It had always worked well in other films such as 28 days later.
5). Picture number 5 makes it clear that the genre and storyline much more clear. Many other films of the horror genre such as I am Legend ( Which is the main film that inspired mine). Have shots of stereotypical scenarios.
6).This Shot, which is similar to the one which feature in the film poster. Gives more introduction to the props and costumes i used in the film. Throughout the filming i made sure that the same clothing was worn throughout. The clothing was also just very casual everyday ( Just like Will Smith in I am Legend). Which makes it a lot easier for the male audience to be put in the situation and be put into the lone hero shoes.
8). This picture give the clear representation of my 'hero', again just like in I am Legend there isn't anything very special about my hero, hes much like the audience just an average masculine male alone fighting to stay alive. Which is key for how he is introduced and then seen throughout by the audience. Like other horror films the hero is very easy to be seen as 'one of the audience' which increases the effect of the narrative throughout.
9). This is the final piece of footage seen in my trailer. It creates a lot of uncertainty about the trailer and hopefully making the audience become interested in the film. Like all other horror film trailer there must be a point in the film that stands out and makes the audience remember this film, which i believe the last text does very well, as the question mark added late creates a lot of mystery and confusion about the conclusion of my film. Which overall follows the conventions of most horror films.
