Planning: Own Film Idea Brainstorm

First of all, we start the trailer cutting straight into a low angle shot at close up distance capturing the main character Zeno holding his arm, injured and in pain, with heavy panting, capturing the sounds of his foot steppes and sweat on his face,  as well as a panicked expression on his face, constantly looking around as if being hunter, shot lasts for several seconds, cuts to an over the shoulder shot from the front, showing half of Zeno's face, wide eyed suddenly halts, if possible the camera first focuses on Zeno's ace and then towards the background, where the antagonist is seen just slightly, the camera then changes to a fade to black, eerie music is then introduced.

For the next clip, a narration is introduced, explaining Zeno's story, whilst several shots pan around the area, showing the scenery, suddenly the narration cuts when a shot captures the antagonist staring into the distance who is captured by a panning shot capturing the environment, then the antagonist looks towards the camera suddenly, as soon as this point is reached the music narration and camera halts. leaving an eerie feel, when the camera cuts, just after the antagonist looks at the camera a second after the transition to black, a millisecond long jump scare of a extreme close up shot showing the antagonists face, in this case the horse mask, suddenly changing the mood of the horror film.

The camera then cuts into a high angle birds eye shot of the main character looking up towards the camera in his bedroom, lying down as if just woken up, with an eerie light, this is mainly due to the fact that we want the audience to be able to understand the story behind the protagonist. Also, we decided that we would have some creepy music, although we thought that it would be difficult for us to initially create a song, we went all over you tube to find a non copyrighted song, and we came across a channel which was offering it's songs to the public, as long as we credited them at the end of the trailer, they gave us permission to use this, also we decided not to use any free songs since many other people would be most likely using it.
