Our group has decided to create a highlights trailer due to the narrative of our film. We feel that it would be more effective to create excitement by using multiple scenes from the film rather than concentrating on a particular scene because our target demographic would be more attracted to this. Also, we want to incorporate all the best parts of the film in order to intrigue our audience but we are conscious that we don’t want to give away any significant plot details that may ruin the film.
The slow, harmonising music begins on a black screen and the audience hears a voice over of Alex (Maria) which is reminiscent of the iconic parallel music shown in the opening credits of Halloween (1978) which can be heard above. After a short sentence of dialogue, the shots begin to appear at a slow pace. The slow montage begins with a romantic scene of Lee (Jordan) brushing his wife's hair and putting it in a plait for her before bed. Collision cutting is then used to show the couple arguing with each other before the husband storms out, slamming the door behind him which interconnects with her opening a drawer in her husbands office.
She picks up a single photo that she finds of her friend who is also blonde and the shot then fades to when the photo was taken. A series of photos are then taken from the point of view of an unknown person and shots are divided by the click of a camera. Quick flash of a blonde woman (Kelsey) tied to a chair and gagged struggling to break free. Home video of an intimate memory of the couple together having a picnic or something like that. Another flash shows the same women with her throat cut. The home video is now shown again but only lasts half the time as the horror becomes more frequent and the scene is cut off mid sentence to emphasise the broken relationship and black screen is shown.
The music picks up as the action builds with a fast montage of captured women with bags over their heads and a close up of a woman running away all with a grimy feel to it. The music then comes to a halt and there is an extreme close up of a woman's eyes and a muffled scream is heard as she is being cut with a knife however this is not shown because restricted narration is used for effectiveness. The next shot is of the main woman shaking her head and shouting aggressively and another fast montage begins to build pace and conflict is shown with her fighting for her life which climaxes with a final shot of a bloody knife falling to the floor.
