We understood how important camera work and the editing process would be to the success of our trailer. All conventional movies have smooth editing and use a wide range of camera movements for many different reasons. I believe that different types of camera work along with the editing helps achieve the audiences need of leisure whilst watching a movie as different types of editing keeps the trailer flowing. This could be identified in our scary pace build up where James and me were using the same fear combinations throughout the trailer but the use of fades and cuts and length of shots made it feel different. The use of camera work could really be identified by the different angles in which we used. These different angles added to the intensity of the trailer as it was very fast paced.
I feel our trailer is to an extent conventional in regards to the editing and camera work. We use a number of quick snappy shots along with fades which can be identified in many horror genres but the way in which we constantly changed the camera angles made it less conventional to the genre yet added a lot of effect as shown by the screenshot below.

| Here is a screenshot to show the use of our camera work. We closed up on my face and thought of this shot very carefully as there is no movement in the background. It is a Point Of View shot, just in formation with the genre of the film. Furthermore, the camera is at a very low angle which shows hints of the unconventional style. |
