Storyboarding and Trailer Conventions


Scenes one to six highlight the initial equilibrium stages of our trailer. The trailer begins with a green screen which has fundamental features of a horror film beginning. We then move onto a five to 10 second clip of our logo being illustrated "House of Shadows Productions". The next scene is of our main character "Alex" walking down the road on her phone-texting her friends and sharing on social media that she has a free house as her parents are leaving for the weekend. The next scene moves to her in her room which will appear quite voyeuristic and intrusive as she is a young girl- a time lapse is used to show this. In the next scene Alex's friends - Rilley, Jane and Tiffany arrive. 








In the next scene, two unexpected visitors appear but are let in as they are friends with Tiffany and Jane although Alex doesn't completely agree. Another visitor arrives and the doorbell rings, a fish-eye lens is used to show a eerie figure at the door-through the peep-hole. The next scene shows Alex answering the phone to a suspicious phone call. Shortly after Tiffany goes to the bathroom to check her makeup and notices her eye bleeding and an unnerving character in the small mirror in front of her and she is very startled. 








The last storyboard hughlights one of the boys  on the floor as they have been stabbed and Alex is helping him. The black figure appears behind them. Then Tiffany is in a corner of the cupboard panting as Alex approaches Tiffany reveals her new form and it is no longer the same Tiffany.
