Thriller Trailer
TIME LINE OF MY PROJECT
In the opening 12 seconds of my trailer, I am going to show the R-Rated shot
that allows for it to be shown to all ages.
Then I will show two different production companies, e.g. Warner Bros and
20th Century Fox stating that it is a film made by both of them.
OPENING – 12 SECONDS
Establishing shot of the setting. The setting is going to be of the woods. This
will allow for the audience to begin understanding where the film is based and
the connotations of woods, which is creepy and unnerving.
13 SECONDS – 17 SECONDS
Quick montage of shots, including the church, the graveyard and the woods at
night.
18 SECONDS – 20 SECONDS
The first death, teenager murdered in the woods, this sets up the whole movie
and gets developed from here, murdered at the woods.
21 SECONDS – 25 SECONDS
Close up of the dead body, a quick glance which will unsettle the audience.
26 SECONDS – 27 SECONDS
Close up of Detective Morley, pan up to see his face.
28 SECONDS – 30 SECONDS
Montage of different shots, giving clues as to what happens, the montage will
include, the woods at night, close up of dead body, Morley and the killer,
however the killer will be in the dark, and you can only see his eyes.
33 SECONDS – 40 SECONDS
Inside the church, we see the killer, back to the camera, praying, slow moving
camera shot. Tension music, killer is religious?
40 SECONDS – 44 SECONDS
Clue found near the body, typed out, crumpled up in right hand of victim,
birds eye view camera shot, looking down to it. Detective Morley speaks,
angry and determined to find the killer.
45 SECONDS – 50 SECONDS

51 SECONDS – 53 SECONDS
Morley walking down from church, another clue, typed out. Baiting Morley to
find him
54 SECONDS – 60 SECONDS

speaks, powerful words like in “Taken”
67 SECONDS – 75 SECONDS

make it seem fast and exciting. Interrupts his speech, allows for it to get faster
and begins to seem more thrilling.

in the background, waiting to attack?

thrill.
93 SECONDS – 95 SECONDS

apart, where the body was found, heavy breathing for both, one slow moving
camera shot.
