After I did my research on found footage horror films, I really wanted to incorporate this technique into my own film as I have really enjoyed the found footage films that I have watched because they're quite creepy and it gives an interesting aspect to a film.
So with this in mind I have thought of a new beginning to the trailer and I have previously changed my original beginning so I'll talk through both of those.
Original:
The trailer begins with an establishing shot of the house, preferably in sunshine to create a contrast to a scene later on in the film where I will shoot the house in bad weather. The brother and sister are playing in the front garden in the establishing shot, as they are teenagers they will probably just be throwing a Frisbee or something like that.
In the contrasting scene at towards the end of the trailer I would film in the exact same place but show the sister alone crying and we see her brother behind her looking sinister but he isn't actually there as when she turns around he is gone.
Found Footage:
The trailer begins with the girl recording herself saying something like 'we've just moved in and here it is' as she gives a brief tour of the house. She is making the video for her friend who she left behind where they used to live. She then goes into her brother's room and makes him jump- a good contrast to the end.
I will probably film both of these just in case.
