1. Scene 1, shot 1:
The teaser will start off with a
medium long shot of the actress
getting into bed.
2. Scene 1, shot 2:
This medium long shot shows the
actress falling asleep.
3. Scene 1, shot 3:
This long shot shows the actress
tossing and turning about in bed as
though she is having a nightmare.
This shot may work better if it’s a
close up so that facial expression
would be clearer to see. When
filming, I could possibly film two
takes, one as a close up and one as
a long shot and see what looks
better when editing.
4. Scene 2, shot 1:
In this medium close up, the actress
is seen waking up in a different bed
in a completely different room.
Instead of having the bed look nice,
the actress will be seen just curled
up on the bed without any duvets
or pillows because
5. Scene 2, shot 2:
This close up shows the actress
jumping off the bed.
6. Scene 2, shot 3:
This shot is a long shot of the
actress running across the room
towards the camera.
I think it would be better to change
this shot so that we see her from
the back running towards the door
as it will help the audience to realise
that she is running towards the door
and not something else.
7. Scene 2, shot 4:
This long shot shows the actress
trying to frantically open the door.
8. Scene 2, shot 5:
This close up of the actress’ hand on
the door handle trying to open the
door creates tension because in
horror films, when a similar shot is
shown, something bad happens or
the actor/actress tends to get a
shock before the climax of the film.
9. Scene 2, shot 6:
This scene ends with a long shot of
the actress standing in the doorway
of the room she was in, and looking
into the hallway which consists of
lots of doors on either side.
10. Scene 3, shot 1:
The first shot of this scene consists
of a long shot of the mother in the
bedroom from scene 1, just sitting
on the bed maybe holding a jumper
or a teddy of her daughters and
crying, because her daughter has
gone missing.
11. Scene 3, shot 2:
This close up shows the father in
the doorway telling the mother that
the detective has come to speak to
them.
12. Scene 3, shot 3:
This long shot shows the parents
and the detective sat around a table
talking. To create suspense, the
detectives face is not seen.
This shot will actually work better as
an over the shoulder shot with the
camera facing the parents but still
be able to see the back of the
detective.
13. Scene 4, shot 1:
Scene 4 starts off with a close up of
the actress getting dragged
backwards, away from the camera.
14. Scene 4, shot 2:
This close up shows the actress
crouching in the corner of the room
crying.
15. Scene 4, shot 3:
This long shot shows things moving
around the room by itself to kind of
show the ghostly element.
I think I will take this shot out
because it doesn’t really fit into the
sequence.
16. Scene 5, shot 1:
This tracking shot follows the
actress running away.
17. Scene 5, shot 2:
This shot shows the actress running
but looking back over her shoulder
directly at the camera.
18. Scene 5, shot 3:
This over the shoulder shot shows
the actress having reached the top
of the stairs.
19. Scene 5, shot 4:
A high angle/long shot shows the
actress running down the stairs
towards the camera.
20. Scene 5, shot 5:
This shot follows from the previous
shot with the actress still running
down the stairs.
Because the next shot has been
removed, this shot will then cut to
the end of the teaser with the
release date and title of film.
21. Scene 5, shot 6:
This long shot shows the girl just
disappear from the staircase while
running. It will then cut to the end
of the teaser with the release date
and title of film.
I think this shot should be cut out
because it wouldn’t really have an
impact on the audience because it
seems a little out of place.
