Evaluation Activity 1 - Setting/Location

We understood that a trailer requires a number of locations and this was the hardest part in terms of showing a wide range of locations in a manner that will still make the trailer seem not over complicated and should complement the pace as opposed to disrupting it. We introduced different locations throughout the trailer not really giving any prevalence to a specific location but it's rather spread out. We used a number of shots to show these locations which I believe can be seen by the choice of screenshots that I have taken below.

I believe that one thing we had done well was use a wide range of shots to show the audience the different locations that we have and also tells them a bit more about the storyline. One example of how we used a wide range of shots was when we took the establishing shot of cemetery. I felt that this establishing shot was unique in comparison to the other shots we used to introduce the locations. Furthermore, we knew we were going to use this establishing shot, not only shows the importance of research and planning but also tells us that we had planned for this trailer properly.
I also feel as if our choice of locations were perfect in conjunction with the horror genre. These locations consisted of the various graveyards, woods/forest and a drive next to a river. All these also showed off the storyline, plus told the audience that both James and I were from a middle class background which would appeal to out C1, C2 ad D target audience. The working class background could be seen by the clothes being worn as well as James and me using everyday language amongst the public which is what's expected from a typical teenager nowadays. 

Here is the screenshot of the shot of the cemetery. The camera stays onto me but we still continue to see the background. We see almost all of the cemetery which shows that this was a perfect position to take this shot from as it can clearly be identified as an establishing shot.

Here is a screenshot of one of the way we established a location setting in our trailer. We tried doing so by using woods, as it’s associated with running away and scariness.
