In a typical horror genre movie the conventions consists of props such as knives or guns. We used a mask to hide the identitiy of the killer and to help create tension.
In my horror movie trailer I play the role of the killer which murdred Nersine playing her self and her friend Hennok playing Lockdon. The so called killer is on a rampage and wants everyone in the school dead.The students don't know thta this killer has killed many students before as he is very good at hiding his tracks.
It starts off after school where Nesrine asks Lockdown to stay after school for some revision. They get bored and start wondering around.But they do not know whats in store for them, as they are strolling around their school they are killed one by one. Hennok is killed in the playground as he leaves Nesrine beacuse she had to use the toilet and is killed there. Nesrine had tried to fight but the killer was too strong for ther. During school time me and my group came up with a script and a storyline.
We came up with the name 'After hours' as the whole piece is done after school, this can be seen at the start of trailer when the bell goes off and all students leave. Instead of using small confined places like in usual horror movies, we used big open spaces we did this so we could break some conventions and are also we were lucky enough to have such an open space to use.
This relates to our aduciene who are school memeber ages from 15 onwards.
We chose to do a horror comedy as we had a very little budget and this was very cheap and easy to do, we had to watch other horror comeides so we could take some ideas and implement them into our trailer.We based it around our school as the victims are school children.
We used a couple of camera angles, one would be extreme close up for when Hennok was killed we did this beacuse it showed how a person may react to when being killed.
During editing we found it hard but soon over came this with practise, we added fast cuts and text. We had to make the text short and easy to read so the trailer could be snappy.
