Research and Planning: Micro Element

For our teaser trailer, i am in charge of the editing, and we are both involved in cinematography and the sound.


Here is a list of all the ideas for editing transitions i have at the moment:

• Typewriter font for the facts, to add effect to the trailer as it is a computer-based film.
• Fade in and out black - this will be at the start when the trailer cuts from the facts and the Facebook photographs, which will give a professional look
• Wipe to show the passing of time
• Jump cut - to show that the character is going a bit mad
• Fast pace straight cuts - for the last bit of the film after we see the title.

This is the list of our ideas for cinematography:

• Zoom in on the image of the scratched out face
• Zoom out to girl at the computer

• Point of view medium shot of girl
• Close up's - facial expression and the screen
• Midshot profile's - Show body language
• Long shot of the screen - where we see the shadow there, and not there.

Here is our ideas for what sound would be included in our trailer:

• For non-diagetic sound, we have got inspiration from the song by Kings of Leon - Closer. We are going to re-create parts of this song by using Garage Band.
• We will use diagetic off screen sound of a dial-up tone for the start of the trailer, and a disconnected sound for near the end of the trailer.
• There will also be diagetic on screen sounds of screams and deep breaths.
