Teaser Trailer Practical - Preperation and Plan

For my teaser trailer, I have decided to try and make 2 different trailers to test the features that I have discovered through my research. My first one is of my old AS project and no voice over as the trailers I have watched, one uses a voice over and the others don't. So I want to test which is more apporatite for my trailer by creating this one and another which will be based of my current idea for my final trailer of a vampire genre film but has a voice over to test its effect and possible remove it for another to see the difference in affect.

For the AS one, it will mainly be composed of the footage of the original film but spliced together with some footage of the continuity project we did eariler in the year to help mix up the shots and see how the vairty of settings and shots help create a much more tense atmoshpere. It will include title cards due to no voice over in an effect akin to the effect made by "30 Days of Night" which unsettled the audeince through description and imagry alone.

The vampire one will feature a character from the actual final trailer design, Dacrual and will chronicle his violent tendicies as a vampire as the trailer ends with the death of an unknown character. It will feature a voice over by the character himself describing what its like giving into his nature and how he enjoys the killing and use mainly close up and small shots that give increasing amounts of information, like catching a glance at the characters boots, then his jacket etc, building up the tension until we see the death of the unknown character and Dacrual turns round to reveal his blood stained fangs. Obviously the efects will not be great at the time due to it being test footage of sorts and inital lack of props but it will hopefully give an idea to the tone I want to display in my final trailer and the representations I want to connote through the imagry and outfits like Matt will be wearing black like Dacrual but its more how he is repenting and regretful of the secrets and hardships the character has been carrying throughout his life. Dacrual is wearing black to connote the obvious that he is truely evil but his outfit is more refined and stylish while Matt's is more archiac or unkempt from the heavy biker jacket and longer hair, showing how all the events he has seen and done are slowly taking there toll on his body and williness to go on. In this teaser we see true side of Dacrual and how he has completely given in to vampiric side, shedding all emotion and revealing in the misery and anarchy he is causing. Another thing we see is also his twisted side from the ending scene will cut to the final title and another scene of him sitting on the edge of the hill with the body next to him and the blood of his victim in a wine glass, jokingly saying "Want to try some my dear? No? More for me then" as he takes another sip.
