Aesthetic Choices

There were certain decisions in the making of our Teaser Trailer that were made for aesthetic reasons:

1) Not showing any form of violence or murder. This is because we knew that people have a certain feeling, a heightened sense of fear at the moment just before something bad happens. We wanted the audience to hold that feeling of fright just before the actual act occurs. We did this by purely because the film is meant as a teaser and should show nothing more.

2) Not showing who the villain is. This is because once again it is only meant to be a teaser and showing who the Antagonist is will be somewhat of an anti-climax.

3) Also we cannot see who the victims are which holds back a lot of identity about the plot of the film, locations, etc. Contrary to belief, it is actually important to make sure that the reader does not know any of this information as it subconsciously installs a sense of safety knowing there is no link between them and the victim.

If you listen to the trailer carefully there is a slight ticking noise that constantly occurs. Initially we stumbled across this yet i feel that it has actually become quite a vital part. It causes the audience to feel like there is a countdown to something, which is quite fitting in terms of a teaser trailer, which is essentially counting down to the release of a film.
