Editing Day 4

1. This is an over the shoulder shot of the two main characters (Kate and Carl) talking in their new home. This shot allows the plot of the film to progress through dialogue and also denotes the expression of Carl. 

2. This shot follows on from the previous shot. It is an over the shoulder shot which allows the trailer to denote the facial expression of Kate.

3. This is a medium shot of Kate which tilts up from down to up in order to reveal Carl's expression. This shot has been altered post-production in order to make the atmosphere gloomy and eerie.

4. This is a medium close-up of Carl, which tilts upwards in order to reveal his facial expression. This shot has been adjusted to look left colourful and vibrant in order to make it fit in with the horror genre.

5. This medium shot follows on from the previous shot, denoting Kate. This shot has also been altered to look less colourful and vibrant to fit with the horror genre.

6. This is a very long, point of view shot of Kate getting into a car. This P.O.V shot allows the audience to feel like they themselves are watching her and makes them feel part of the film.

7. This shot follows on from the previous shot, denoting a medium close-up of Carl, watching Kate. I like this shot as it  shows there is sunlight outside, yet he is masked by the shadow which gives connotations of evil and mystery.

8. This is a medium tracking shot of Kate, running through a corridor away from Carl.

9. This shot follows on from the previous shot which denotes Carl running after Kate. These two shots have been altered to look dark, dull and colourless in order to fit with the horror genre. The shot is also a low angle shot in order to make Carl look powerful and dominant in this situation. This is a typical convention of a horror; making the villain appear bigger and stronger through low angle shots as it appears they are looking down on everyone else.

10. This is a medium-long two shot of Carl being aggressive towards Kate. This shot is placed in a build-up sequence in order to create a crescendo. 

11. This is a close-up, over the shoulder shot of Kate hiding under a table, denoting what appears to be Carl's feet walking infant of her. This puts the audience on edge and builds tension as to whether Carl will find her or not, but this is not revealed as this is just a trailer. 

12. This a a long shot of Carl storming towards the camera with a knife to look scary and intimidating. This shot, like many of the others, has been altered to look dull and gloomy to fit with the typical conventions of the horror genre.
