Effects in our trailer

We used effects in our trailer to heighten the sense of fear and to catch the eye of the audience.

We used the effect of having blood dripping down the screen, splattering on the floor and creating our credits. This was effective because blood is essential in horrors and our feedback from the audience was great many saying that it was a clever and effective idea.

We also filmed a scene where we had Miles can outfits and we turned the lights on and off rapidly showing two sides of him, dark and light (another effect the audience was impressed with). This was tweaked a bit to make the background darker/ lighter where we were tampering with the lights.

Fade outs were also used to create suspense with darkness being conventional in horrors because darkness is associated with evil, madness and mystery.
