This is the storyboard animatic for our trailer for Faded Delusion. However this version does not have any sound, like the real version would, this is one change we could possibly make to this animatic to improve it, as it will give a better idea of how the trailer will look. I created this animatic using a graphics tablet and photoshop drawing each segment and then inserting the photos drawn into Adobe Premier elements to create the finished animatic.
The Faded Delusion animatic starts with a title shot. This title shot could be something such as the name Faded Delusion or a suitable for all ages title, an example of one will be put below. A suitable for all ages title will be worthwhile within our trailer as it allows the audience to know thats its suitable for all ages, as the content within the trailer won't be rude or too graphic allowing anyone to see it. If we wanted to include some blood or swearing then we would have to increase the age suitability so that little children don't watch it and get scared.
The second shot is of another title. This could be a something such as production company, for instance I believe that we would use the Graveyard productions title as this is my created production company. I made the titles so there would be no infringement on copyright, which is necessary as if this was a real project and a copyright infringement was found a lawsuit may be filed which would effect the funding available for the films production. An example of this is in Mine Forever first 2 minutes I created last year.
The next shot in the trailer is the first real shot. It is an Over the Shoulder shot, shot in the main characters living room. The shot pans in towards the TV screen and slowing to a stop when the TV fits the screen. There are several other shots in the animatic including a close up, a wide shot, and also various effects. For an in detail explanation of these check our storyboard. Click here if you want to see the storyboard. Having created this storyboard I have found that the trailer flows very well and if created well enough it would look very professional.
The things I like about my animatic.
+ The flow - I find that the flow is good, it isn't too jumpy and allows for an easy to watch.
+ Number of Shots - There is a wide range of shots allowing for an interesting watch. This is necessary for a trailer as it needs to keep the audience watching and also needs to draw them in to want to watch the actual film.
+ Informative - the storyboard shows the production companies and also the title of the film so the audience know what the film is called.
+ Original - The animatic doesn't look similar to any other trailers. This is good as it will keep it interesting.
+ The Pictures - The pictures drawn on the computer give a professional effect, when compared to pictures drawn by hand.
Things I dislike about my animatic.
- Lack of Sound - The lack of sound within the trailer does take away from the effect of the finished animatic.
- Lack of analysis - I would of liked for there too be some analysis on each of the shots. Allowing for the viewer to pause and gain a deeper knowledge of the shot. However the extreme detail in the storyboard makes up for this.
For some of our film, text will be included, such as the titles and the name of the movie and it will also be used on our poster/magazine cover. For this it will help look professional if we use the same font for each, as it will help the audience recognise the film easier and will help grow knowledge about the film. To help choose our font I shall pick out several suitable fonts and then compare them and list the advantages and disadvantages and then finally decide on a font to use.
Some possibilities include:
These are several fonts that I have found on the internet that are copyright free. Below I will analyse each one and maybe decide if i want to use any of them in my trailer.
I like Face your Fears as it looks as if it has been written in blood, which would make sense as our film is a Horror were people get killed. However I don't think it would be right for our trailer for some reason, so for this reason we wouldn't use this font in our trailer.
True lies is similar to Face your fears however it looks as if it has been scratched on the area which is a nice effect however as our killer is more of a psychological killer I don't think it would be right for him to of left physical evidence in this manner. So for this reason True lies is also a no.
Feast of flesh is very Horror like, however I feel it is more of a zombie film font. This is exactly the same as Zombified, which is why I will not choose either of these for my trailer.
Frankentype is like True Lies and seems to be scratched onto something however it doesn't have the slant that True Lies does. For this reason I prefer Frankentype however it still isn't what I'm looking for.
Out of the whole selection this next font is my favourite for the task. Cold night for alligators looks like it has been written in somebody's blood. My favourite part is the handprint as if it has been written by one of the victims. However I believe this font to be too busy for the use I need it for and if used it may attract too much attention and draw away from more important parts of the shot or poster.
Below is the script for our trailer,
a screenplay or script is a written
work by screenwriters for a film or television
program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces
of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the
characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as
a teleplay. For the script the characters will
be referred to by who they are and not by there names as
I believe that using there names may become confusing. Script

Below is the names of all the characters in the trailer, all of them may not be relevant for the trailer but it will be sensible to have them in case we change the dialogue to include them
Below I used an animation creator to create the first few seconds of my trailer. It involves shot 1 - 3 but shows more detail and gives a basic idea how the shots are going to flow.
To create this I used several things, I used my Laptop, a Bamboo tablet and also the animator app that comes with the tablet.
Above is a questionnaire that I created and gave out to several people. I will state what the answer was and what it suggests. I will then conclude the results and these results will probably effect several decisions within my trailer, poster and magazine cover.
The first question asked was about the actual persons demographics. The results for this question is as below.
Male - 17
Female -13
Age
0-15 - 3
16-25 - 23
26+ - 4
I asked a more predominantly male audience as looking into a audience analysis, there are more males than females that watch Horror films. However asking a broad range of people will give a clear answer and make the answers true and more precise. Which I could improve about the age range as I only really asked the Horror film target audience, it could benefit me and the media I create if I ask a broader range of people.
The second question I asked was what their favourite horror film was, I had a very broad range of answers with the top five being Paranormal activity 2, A nightmare of elm street, Dead Silence, The Exorcist and 28 Days Later. The one thing that i notice that is similar with all of these is they are well thought out, original and famous. Most people know each of these films, except for Dead Silence, which is a classic but isn't as known as the others. With this I believe that for my media I need to make sure that my idea is original and cannot be similar to anything that is already on the market. I also found that some of these films are similar in other way, I also noticed that these films are also similar in the way that they most of them also involve a paranormal killer. Including the demon in paranormal activity, Freddy Krueger, The lady from Dead Silence and the demon that inhabits the girl from the exorcist. Which suggests that the main bulk of Horror fans enjoy movies with a paranormal killer, which is good as our killer is planning on being a paranormal character.
The third question I asked was how they watched Horror films. The results are below, some people ticked more than one box.
DVD - 30
TV - 17
Smartphone - 2
Cinema - 24
Other - 0
This suggests that our largest market for our Horror film will be predominantly be DVD and the Cinema. This is quite obvious as these are the markets that most Horror films market themselves towards.
My fourth question is what is the persons favourite weapon used in Horror films. The possible answers were either None, Knife, Sword, Chainsaw, Gun or other. The answers were as below.
None - 8
Knife - 7
Sword - 3
Chainsaw - 5
Gun - 7
Other - 0
This is beneficial for me as I found that None, which my planned killer would use as it will be a more of a psychological Horror, is one of the favourites, this will benefit my trailer as I know it will appeal to the target market. However some classic favourites such as a knife and chainsaw do still seem popular, however if we use these weapons I feel that I wouldn't be able to create a new way of using them. Which when I asked what they're favourite films I found originality was very important for the target audience.
My fifth question involved asking them what they're favourite Horror character is. For this question I a very wide variety of answers so I will only write the top 5 results of which are Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, Zombies, Micheal Myers and Chucky. This again shows that the audience wants originality within the creation of the killer within a Horror film.
My sixth question was similar to the last with the fact that we had many answers so I will only use the more popular answers, they were the following.
Sinister
Paranormal Activity 4
The Pact
Nightmare on Elm Street
The Haunting of Emily Rose
Chucky
The Frightners
Insidious
Evil Dead
These are a range of results including new films that are new to the cinema and also some that are new to Netflix and some that are just classics so may have been watched on TV or on DVD. This is a good way of finding the way that our target audience watch films in a sneaky way without asking them directly.
My seventh question is about summing up the Horror genre in three words. Although this isn't a very regular question I included it as I thought I might bring up some points that wouldn't have been touched on otherwise.
Behind our trailer is a deep story line, with the USP of including the mythical beast Slenderman.
The story begins with amateur reporter Greg Donaldson, looking for a story to help him to make it into the big time. Then the story falls at his doorstep, several murders in his home county of Surrey. However there is something different with this case. Some people have likened the killings to those of the mythical Slenderman, a mysterious humanoid who may or may not have mythical powers of some kind. After interviewing some of the victims families, he becomes a suspect to the police due to bad timing and a strange interest in the case. The story climaxes when police try to arrest Greg on suspicion of several of the murders, he escapes and trys to run. After being watched silently by the real killer he thinks he knows who he is, his escape leads into the local woods, after this everyone who entered isn't seen again.
Below is a detailed storyboard, with drawings and detailed notes including what is occurring in the shot, what is needed for the shot and where the shot is located.
This is the first title of the film, we have not yet decided which Production company we are going to use for the production of out trailer. We still have several options to choose between including a Graveyard Production, a small time production company which we created last year and has created Mine Forever. We could also use Twisted pictures, the production company used to create such horror films; Saw, Dead Silence and the recent rerelease of the Texas chainsaw massacre. Hammer films is also a Horror production company, they are also quite big and have produced films such as Dracula, The Mummy and Frankenstein. Below is an example of each of these possibilities.
Graveyard Productions
Twisted Pictures
Hammer Films
This title is going to say the producers and the directors names, these names will include myself, Sam De Almeida my partner in this production, and any other other people that assist in the production or the directing of our Trailer. For this we will need to decide on a typeface for this, as this will help give the trailer a professional finish, if the fonts are all the same. We need to choose a font that will interest the audience, as you don't want to bore your potential audience. You need to keep the audience as interested as this is the main objective of a trailer, to attract an audience enough for them want to go and watch the film in the cinema.
Shot 1
In this shot, a wide Over the Shoulder shot is used, this is showing the initial location of the shot, this is useful as it will help interest the possible audience. This shot is set in a living area, some of the props included in this shot are; a television and a sofa. Other parts of mise-en-scene can be used to make the location believable however they are not needed. I have an option as a location to use which is in an actual living room, so the location would be believable. The location would need some prep, this would include some tidying, possibly some extra lighting if the shot looks dark and some rearranging. In this shot the only character is the main character, which is being played Sam. In this shot the costume for this would be very relaxed clothing, this could be either tracksuit bottoms or pyjamas and a dressing gown. There are no handheld props needed, but we may use a cup of coffee to help convey that he is at home relaxing.
Who is in the shot - Main Character
Sound - TV in background, Weather will be heard
Shot Length - 3-4 seconds
Transition to next Shot - Slowly pan and zoom towards television.
Shot 2
This shot follows onto shot 1, it does this by zooming in, towards the television over the Shoulder of the main character. The overall aim of this shot is to zoom from the original position of shot 1 to a close up of the television. One prop we are going to have to prepare for this shot is the footage of the weather report. We need this because we need it on the television while we film. When the camera gets to the right level of zoom we will jump cut to the actual footage of the weather report, this can be seen in shot 3. The reason for doing this is to help have the highest quality of footage we can. Cutting to actual footage will stop interference between the television and the camera. In this shot the only actor will be the main character which is being played by Sam. As in the first shot, he will be in costume which might be tracksuit bottoms or a dressing gown and a possible prop is a cup of coffee. This is predominately a transition shot, as it isn't extremely interesting but will help our trailer to look professional as it is a clever shot and a clever use of television.
Who is in the shot - Main Character
Sound - TV in far foreground, Weather will be heard
Shot Length - 3-4 seconds
Transition to next Shot - Slowly pan and zoom, Jump cut when the two shots match
Shot 3
This shot is a continuation of the previous shot and will slow the zoom to almost a stop. At the point of being the same as the footage we will jump cut so that the footage. This is ambitious as it is testing my skill at editing, as if it jumps a bit it will ruin the effect of the shot change and will make the shot look less professional. In this clip you can predominantly see a weather report. The footage for this will be pre-filmed before we film the rest of the clips as this footage needs to be used while filming other shots. This is an effect we are using to help make the trailer look as professional as possible. We are either going to use a clip filmed and edit in a weather chart or use some external footage. So far we have not found any non-copyright footage for this so it is highly likely that this shall be filmed by us. We have lined up Kellie to be the weather girl if we do need to film this shot. This is shot there will be a small amount of dialogue. This will include "And over surrey its going to be a bit of a gloomy, at that was the weather, now back to the studio with Tom." This will be said by the weather girl.
Shot 4
This shot follows nicely from shot 3 as this is a news report that follows the weather report. In this shot we will have one character which is played by myself. For this the costume will be something smart, such as a suit and tie or a shirt and tie, it is most probably going to be a shirt and tie, due to the availability. This shot is to be filmed in a clean location giving off professional vibes, as real news reports are always very professional. One prop that will be used in this is a table a chair giving the impression of a real studio. Another possible prop in this could be a microphone on the table or a glass of water. Making the shot a bit more interesting but it won't steal the audiences attention from the News Anchor. In this shot it is very important to use a clean background with no distractions on as we want all of the audiences attention on the reporter. There is also some dialogue within this shot. It will be said by the News Anchor, it will include, "Recently there have been several murders within the area of surrey. Some have compared these killings to those of the legend of the Slenderman"
Shot 5
Shot five is a continuation of the previous shot, shot four, however in this shot a small video will pop up in the top right hand corner of the clip, showing a CSI in full outfit walking to a crime scene. The dialogue in this shot will have the News Anchor saying, "The latest killing was in the early hours of this morning." We are going to film this small shot and then edit it in to the final shot. There will be no sound from this shot as if there was it would conflict with the sound from the larger shot. For the small shot we will have the CSI which is going to be played by myself, I can play several characters due to the fact some have there faces covered. The costume for this character will include a full body suit, shoe covers, googles, a mouth guard and a briefcase.
Shot 6
In this shot it shows a static screen. This shot will only be visible for a few milliseconds as it is in place to create the effect. This will not be video but it will be a picture of static, as for a short time shot you will not be able to notice the difference. For this shot the sound will be a short audio clip of static, for this we will have to find a non-copyright clip of it to do this. The audio clip will be just as short as the actual shot. The use of this quick shot it to speed up the trailer after the talking that occurred in the first few shots, this change in length of the shot is likely to grab the audiences attention and hopefully keep them interested.
Shot 7
This is a continuation of shot One and Two, it is set in the same location as these too shots as well. In the lounge of the main character. The only character in this shot is the main character, who is being played by Sam De Almeida, in this shot you will be introduced to the main character properly due to the fact the main character is facing the camera in this shot. In this shot the main character will be wearing either tracksuit bottoms or a dressing gown. However the costume needs to be the same as in the first and second shot due to continuity. There will also need to be the sofa and television in this shot, the same that is seen in shot 1 and shot 2. There will also need to be some handheld props including a notepad and video camera. This is being put in place to help suggest to the audience that the main character is a reporter of some kind. In the story the main character is a amateur reporter. There is also some dialogue, in this clip the main character says, "this is just the story i need to get me noticed!"
Shot 8
In this shot you can see the main character putting on a coat through a window. This shot will be filmed from outside looking inside, as if the camera is a person. The idea of this shot is to suggest someone is watching over the main character, the person we are trying to suggest is watching is Slenderman, a mythical creature. In this clip the only visible character is the main character still. The only props in this shot is the outdoor coat that the main character is putting on. For this shot we will need okay weather, as if its too sunny we could get glare from the window, but we don't want the weather to be rainy as raindrops on the window would observe the shot. In this shot there will be no sound. However we may start to play some music in the background to help keep the shots interesting. In this shot the main character will be facing away from the window, to suggest that he doesn't know that he is being watched. For the lighting in this shot, we will need to turn on the inside lights while filming as to illuminate and make the action that is going on easily visible. The transition to the next shot is a jump cut. After he has put on his coat, he will then slip on a pair of shoes, with one of the laces undone. This leads on well to the next shot. One possible problem with this shot could be a reflection off the glass.
Shot 9
In this shot you can see the main character tying up his shoelaces, while the camera is peaking round the door. In this shot the only character is still the main character. Having so many shots with him in is used to suggest to the audience that he is the main charcater. This shot will be a continuation of the previous shot, therefore continuity needs to be taken into account. For this it will need to be the sam room and lighting as shot 8. The costume will also need to be the same so what ever clothes he was wearing and also the coat he just put on. The sound in this shot is the noise of tying up the shoe and any music we decide to put in the background. The next shot is a continuation of the previous shot and the transition is a pan to the left when the main character looks towards the camera. Again suggesting to the audience that the camera is from the perspective of someone or something. The shoes he is putting on need to be smart, as he is going to report on the case.
Shot 10
This shot is a continuation of the previous shot, in this shot the main character stands up after tying his shoelace. In this the shot is exactly the same Mise-en-scene, including clothing, lighting, location and the Sound will be a continuation. For this it may be sensible to create a piece of music, we would do this as we can raise the speed of the music to help create tension when the main character looks towards the area the camera is located.
Shot 11
This is yet again another continuation of the previous shot, in this shot the camera pans from the previous location to the current location. This is to give the effect of someone watching him in his own house. The person that would be watching the main character would be Slenderman but it is a point of view shot so you cannot see him. In this shot there is the possibility of using some soundtrack music to help make the shot more interesting and help keep the audiences attention on the trailer.
Shot 12
This is the start of the next shot and section of the trailer. In this shot you see the main character and two other new characters within the trailer. The main character is talking to a woman in the this shot, he is also filming this. He is doing this because he is getting peoples thoughts on the killings in there area. While the woman is being interviewed, her young daughter is playing in the front garden with a toy car. This shot is located out the front of a house with a front garden. We have an idea for the location of this shot, however we still need to gain permission to film here. The props needed for this shot include a big camera and a car. The camera is to show that the main character is filming the conversation for his report. The toy car, is necessary as it is used later on in the scene. In this clip there will be some dialogue, it will include. "Thats why I think its worrying it being so close, hopefully it shall end soon though." Says the woman. The main character replies, "I agree with you on that one, unfortunately thats all we got time for, thank you very much." This is followed by the next clip, there is no transition as the camera stays in the same place.
Shot 13
In this shot you see the same shot as shot 12, however some changes have occurred so I have redrawn the scene to help show what is occurring with the scene. In this part of the clip the main character has finished his interview with the lady so he has picked up his tripod and walks off and the woman watches him leave for a bit. In this shot the Mise-en-scene should be the same as the shot before to help stop continuity errors, as this would leave my trailer looking unprofessional.
Shot 14
In this shot the mother has turned to around to walk back into the house, again it is the same shot as the previous shot, shot 13. Again it has the same props, Mise-en-scene and sound. The only people remaining in this clip is the mother who was interviewed and the young child.
Shot 15
This is the final shot in this long continuous shot. In this shot, both adults in this scene have left, this includes the mother that was interviewed and the main character. In this drawing I have showed a detail that the door was shut behind her when she went outside. Now writing about it I think it would be a bit more realistic if the door was left either open or ajar. This is because if there have been several murders locally to the lady, I believe she would want to keep an eye on her child. So this could be changed while filming. The child in this shot is still playing with the toy car, and is the only other needed prop, more toys can be added for realism. For the child they can wear anything that a child would wear such as a hoody and fluffy hat or something along these lines. The transition to the next shot is a jump cut.
Shot 16
This is a very interestingshot being used, the screen goes black an a heartbeat is heard. The black lasts for around a second then jump cuts to the next shot. The use of a jump cut to black screen should help grab the viewers attention as it is very sudden. The heartbeat sound, needs to be found, but importantly needs to be non-copyright so we can use it without being worried about being found of copyright infringement. The heartbeat is meant to be that of the young child that was left in the front garden.
Shot 17
In this shot the camera will be slightly closer to the child than it was, the first time it occurs I want the audience to be unsure if the camera moved to help grow mystery for the short seconds before the next time it happens. There will be no sound in this clip, I have chosen to do this because it will help add dramatic effect to the heartbeat on shot 16,18, 20 and 22. The child should continue playing as if it hasn't noticed the camera move slightly closer. The shot is meant to be Point of View of the Slenderman however you do not see any of his features to tell the audience that it is. I want the audience to assume it on the 21st shot.
Shot 18
Again this is another black screen and heart combo. The only difference between this black shot is that I want this one to slowly speed up, I want it to do this to help raise tension for the audience.
Shot 19
This is the last shot of the child before he realises that he is being stalked. In this shot the is no sound, to help give dramatic effect to the heartbeats on the alternate black shots. The child is still playing with her toy car. In this one I want the camera to be very close so the next shot only has to be a bit closer.
Shot 20
Again this is another black screen and heart combo. The only difference between this black shot is that I want this one to slowly speed up, I want it to do this to help raise tension for the audience.
Shot 21
In this shot you will see the child facing camera, psychically looking into the lens. Here is the point I want the audience to realise that the last few shots they have seen have been Point of View shots. In this clip the child is to stare open mouthed into the camera and to drop her toy car. Here would be a good time to use a slow motion effect to watch the car dropping as I believe it will make the shot even more dramatic. In this shot I want there to be no noise whatsoever, not even background noise, as the scream in the next clip will startle the audience, helping get them interested in the film if they like films that make them jump. Below is the sort of slow motion effect I want to use.
Shot 22
In this shot instead of a heart beat there will be a young girls scream, this will suggest to the audience that the girl in the previous clip is about to be murdered by whoever Point of View the camera is filming from. In this case it is Slenderman being the killer. While editing I can try two different options of screams and she which makes the film more appealing and more professional, one is to let the whole scream play or to cut it short halfway through to suggest that the girl is now dead.
Shot 23
This is another section of the trailer, the story behind this section is that the police believe that the killings have been committed by the main character. They have come to his door to arrest him, however as he hasn't committed the murders he decides that he should try to escape. In this shot there are 3 characters, including the main character and the 2 policemen, these two policemen are the two characters closest to us. In this shot there is a bit of dialogue, one of the policemen says "You are under arrest."
Shot 24
In this shot you see the main character push one of the detectives and run away. In this the shot is set in a doorway, this would be the main characters house. The two detectives are wearing smart attire, as they have come formally to arrest the main character. This will be a quick as it is the start of a set of successive quick shots. The main character will be wearing casual clothes, including possibly no shoes as he is at home.
Shot 25
In this shot you see the continuation of the previous shot you can see the two detectives realise what has happened and run after the main character.
Shot 26
This is the first shot of several very quick shots of the 3 characters running. In this we need to make sure we up the speed as this will help keep the attention of the audience, as getting on into the trailer it is very common for an audiences attention to fade later on in trailers. This will be the clinching part of the trailer, if my plan to speed up works it will benefit the movie as it will leave most of the audience who have watched it all the way through will be interested in watching the full film. This will benefit me as it could possibly raise the amount of people viewing the whole film.
Shot 27
This is another running shot that continues from the last one that continues the fast paced action in the final seconds of the trailer. This shot includes the main character and the 2 detectives. For this we need to make sure we keep the continuity.
Shot 28
This is another running shot that continues from the last one that continues the fast paced action in the final seconds of the trailer. This shot includes the main character and the 2 detectives. For this we need to make sure we keep the continuity. In this shot you can see the start of the change in scenery from towns into the woods. This is where you see the full on shot of the slenderman, but not in this shot.
Shot 29
In this shot you see the 2 detectives running into the woods chasing after the main charter who has just run in there, which can be seen in the shot before. This is setting up for the concluding shots of the trailer.
Shot 30
This is a basic shot of the woods with in this section the main character running past the camera looking over his shoulder. In this he is running away from the detectives but also the killer. As this is a shot form the actual film and at this point he knows its after him.
Shot 31
In this shot you can see all of the main characters of the trailer including the killer even though he's in the background and the attention of the viewers will be on the busy foreground of the main character and the two detectives running. The shot will be a wide shot. I want it to be this type of shot as it will allow all of the action needed but the viewers will still be able to recognise the killer in the background.
Shot 32
In this shot I have planned for the brunt of the action to of ran of screen, and now for the attention of the viewer to be on the killer which is now the most notable object in the shot. This will be the first time in the trailer you have seen the killer. However this is breaking convention as usually the killer in this type of psychological horror would not be revealed until late on in the actual film. I have shown the killer as the mythical creature I based the killer on has recently gained much online media popularity on certain websites, who's users are within my target market.
Shot 33
In this shot I want the action now to be off screen as I want the attention of the viewer now on the killer, I want him to move from the background to the foreground via jump cuts. He will be dressed in the morph suit with a suit on. I want him to be dressed like this as it is the character style that we have previously planned. I don't want him to say anything or too move at all as I believe that this will help add to the effect of him being creepy.
Shot 34
In this shot I want a very quick shot of a blurry screen. I have decided to include this as when researching the mythical creature I based my killer on one of the traits it seemed to have was that it called electronic failure. This is the reason why I have put this in the trailer. I also think it is a good way of breaking up the brunt of a long shot.
Shot 35
In this shot I want the viewer to be slightly startled as my trailer is of a Horror film and I feel that it would be breaking convention to not have any scary moments within my trailer. In this shot I want it to be in the woods of the previous shot and the killer to be up close with his hand held outwards toward the audience.
Shot 36
This is the final shot of the film trailer, its another jump cut to this shot. This shot is another static shot. I think this is a good way to wrap up the trailer as the audience would not expect anything to happen after this.
Shot 37
In this shot I want the title to fade onto the previous shot. I want the title to show the title of the film in whatever font we choose for the set font of the film.
