Filmimg Schedule For Our Horror Trailer
The timing of our filming was crucial when making our horror trailer. In order to show the difference between the safety of the characters, we had to film in light conditions, therefore we filmed at 11-3 during the day, we had to be very precise when we were filming as we started filming of Feburary 14th, so the light would fade very quickly, meaning we could no longer film.
On the other hand, when we needed to film the scary parts of the trailer, we would use the darkness to our advantage, in order to create fear and a perfect horror atmosphere in the trailer. We had a very clear timing structure when filming the trailer, due to the changes in the atmosphere in the trailer, for example, at the beginning of the trailer there is an equilibrium, where everything is calm. This part of the film had to be shot in the daylight. Therefore there would be no initial fear at the beginning of the trailer, leaving the opportunity for the trailer to increase pace, fear and intensity. These shots were filmed in the house we used for the trailer, owned by Isaac Reeder, one of the group members.
The second part of the filming took place between the hours of 11AM and 3PM in order to make sure the lighting was perfect for the current atmosphere in the trailer.
The second parts of the filming took place in my car. This was an important part of the trailer as it showed the transition between the calm part of the trailer and when the atmosphere was normal, the equilibrium, compared to when the enemy features and the trailer becomes much more intense. This part of the trailer was filmed between 4PM and 7PM in order to show the transition between calmness and the horrific part of the trailer. The light in the trailer was very important because darkness naturally connotes fear, so we could use the darkness to our advantage in order to make sure the horror atmosphere was apparent.
Finally, the third part of the filming took place at the abandoned ruins, where the horror element really became very intense. There were scary shots of the enemy in the trailer and the shots were filmed in very dark conditions. This allowed us to use light and shadows to our advantage. For example in the final shot, when the antagonist in the trailer appears over my, (Kieran Browne's) shoulder. This was a very effective shot which really ended the trailer with a lot of impact. If we han not have planned to film this shot at this particular time with these lighting conditions, the final shot would not have been as effective.
Overall, the filming schedule was crucial when planning the trailer as because without it, we would have struggled to film the trailer at the appropriate time of day. For example the equibibrium had to be filmed during daylight and the more scary parts of the trailer were filmed in spooky, dusk conditions, The timings were very precise and I think they benefited us greatly when filming the horror trailer.
