After we uploaded all of our footage on to our computer and imported into Premiere, it's come to our attention that some of the shots need to be extended and developed to create more of a narrative structure within our teaser trailer. We specifically need to focus on the shot where Josh looks up at the chandelier moving, as we and our target audience felt that this was too much of a quick transition between the happy beginning and the supernatural occurrences. Taking this on board, when re-filming in the coming days, we are going to add a shot where Josh is calling for Melissa at the bottom of the stairs and then there will be a moment of realisation before he looks up after hearing the chandelier moving. There will also be no incidental music in this shot either, as it creates tension and the ambient sound of the chandelier moving adds an eerie and foreboding effect that then smoothly transitions into the more intense action shots later in the trailer. We feel this added bit of narrative clearly shows the disequilibrium in our film and contrasts much more clearly to the happy start, thus making it more similar and conventional to other supernatural horror trailers.
We are going to create a storyboard of our re-filmed and new shots so that we can film as soon as possible.
