We have decided to incorporate many camera movements into our trailer to create different effects.
The speed of the movement affects the impression portrayed to the audience. If a camera moves fast and shakes, it can convey tension, drama and a sense of urgency. This relates to our trailer because we will be shooting many fast paced montage clips to illustrate the drama and thrill- clips such as chases and falls. If a camera moves slowly, this can convey a calm atmosphere. However, we are going to use this to juxtapose the plot with a slow camera movement and a horrific atmosphere. We have already used a tracking shot to really illustrate how close the murderer is to one of the friends as she is being chased down the pavement.
To convey the sense of importance of the main character, Mindy, we want to use a 360degree panning shot. This will illustrate just how much she thinks is the centre of attention. This also relates to the character's emotions because she wants to feel like the centre of attention to Reuben.
As there is a clip of Mindy pushing a girl off a bridge, we have decided to capture this in a tilt shot to really illustrate the height of the bridge and how far it is to fall. This will also be used when the character has fallen to the ground and there is a low angle shot to exemplify how important and in control Mindy really is.
