Rachael and I recorded ourselves discussing the possible schedule for filming. We decided that one day would be enough to film the main character, Sophie and her mum's parts in the trailer, as well as another day to film the best friend, Jenny's parts.
We talked about filming the miscellaneous clips for the montage in our own time as the clips won't take long to film and if we film individually we will get more varied footage.
We plan for these clips to be fitting for the psychological genre although they may seem random to an audience. The snippets will act as clips from throughout the film at different stages; this also brings another element of non-continuity editing. These clips are used to entice an audience to watch a film as they will want to understand all of the contexts that they are being shown. We decided to include this element as it was used a lot in the trailers we researched, for example, in The Snowman and The Girl on the train.
For our trailer, we plan to film in the dark to enhance a thrilling atmosphere. This could create some problems as the camera we use may not be able to pick up any images if the set is too dark. To combat this issue, we will experiment with filming in dim light or in the early evening and then add filters to the footage to make it look like we filmed at night. Another problem is that our trailer may appear more horror-like than a psychological thriller which we will try and overcome by actively including psychological conventions throughout.
