Shot Lists

Hello!

Overview
Recently, my group and I worked on our shot lists to decide what specific scenes will go into the trailer and which might go in as extras. This means that we went through all our footage and decided what clips to go into the trailer by depending on the quality of the footage and how much the footage related to our story and to our storyboard. On the whole this was an ongoing process in which was very time consuming however this was a useful process because now we can construct our horror trailer with ease and without having to go back and forth between our footage.

We did decide to add new scenes and clips as we believed that this would make the trailer much scarier and would heighten the interest of our audience to go and watch the actual film. This also was a long process as this means we were coming away from the storyboard and thinking of new ideas. Furthermore, there was some footage that we filmed (that was originally part of our storyboard) that we did not use within our trailer because it didn't add to the pace of the trailer nor was it meaningful in anyway.

With all the footage we didn't use we deicded to make a folder and call them 'Additional Clips' so that if we did need to fill in the space for our horror trailer, that could not be fitted with the clips that we had (due to them not working at all or just not fitting in with the music) we could always go back to those clips and pick out parts that would create tension and would add to the pace for our horror trailer.

What did I learn?
I learnt that creating a shot list helped with constructing the horror trailer because this made us more aware of what were they reall good clips (that fit in with the storyline and stayed true to the horror trailer) and seperated it from the bad clips that just looked out of place and cheap.

Stay tuned to this post for future shots
