Shot list

Rough shot list for comedy-horror trailer

(The name of the piece is currently unresolved.)

Shot 1 - Establishing shot of two boys walking towards the camera. A wind sound can be heard in the background, which slowly rises. 

Shot 2 - Opening titles 

Shot 3- Medium shot of two boys. One looks down at their mobile and exclaims "Damn it, we're out of reception!" 

Shot 4- Close shot. Other boy says "Why, you're not scared are you?" 

Shot 5- Over the shoulder shot. "Of course not." (Followed immediately by laughter.) 

Shot 6- (Laughter continues in background.) Text can be seen, which reads "In a world full of evil," (Which is also accompanied by a cheesy voice-over.) (Not used in final piece) 

Shot 7 - Medium shots of boys walking again. "What is a psychopath? Is it an animal?" 

Shot 8- Text appears again. It reads "Only those with their wits about them." (Not used in final piece)

Shot 9- Long shot. "It's dark we should go home." (Not used in final piece) 

Shot 10- Text appears again. "Can survive." (Not used in final piece) 

(Music stops and is replaced with silence.) 

Shot 11- Medium shot. The trailer is suddenly silent, and the boys stare into the woods around them. 

Shot 12- Still silence. Extreme close-ups of both the boy's faces, who look terrified as they stare into the trees. 

Shot 13- POV extreme long shot from behind the two boys, through the eyes of the villain. Heavy breathing can be heard.

Shot 14- Long shot. One of the boys turns round to where the villain had literally just been standing, but does not see him. He whispers "If someone attacks us, run into the woods because we can climb up trees to hide."

(Here, the montage editing will begin and there will be very little dialogue. The following section will be more tense, and will exploit the horror genre more than the comedy genre.)

Shot 15- Scary, ominous music can suddenly be heard in the trailer. Long shot of boys running down the track into the distance. 

Shot 16- High shot of villain in pursuit of one of the victims.

Shot 17- Medium low shot of the two boys hiding behind a tree, breathing heavily. The villain can be seen approaching in the background.

Shot 18- Long shot of the two boys running away into the distance.

Shot 19- Quick shot of one of the boys fighting with the villain with a stick.

Shot 20- High angle shot of one of the two boys lying on the ground, screaming in pain.

Shot 21- High angle shot of villain from below, slowly bringing his gun around towards the camera.

Shot 22- Medium shot of the two characters with guns, firing towards the camera. One of them yells "Aim for his legs!" 

Shot 23- Music dissipates, replaced by a ringing sound. The screen is black.

Shot 24- Flash of brightness, followed by a high angle medium shot of one of the boys lying dead on the ground, with a voiceover in the background, which reads out the title of the movie. (Not used in final piece) 

25- Black screen again, before the title of the film appears in cheesy big red letters. 

26- One final quick shot of one of the boys pulling off the villains mask, revealing the person beneath who proceeds to punch him in the face.
