crucial camera shots

low angle shot - we are going to use this at the start of the trailer which will give the audience the idea of that character being in total control and of being powerful, this will change throughout the trailer which will show the character losing control as the film progresses.

High angle shot - this shot will be used multiple times throughout the trailer to show vulnerability and weakness in the characters, it will show a power shift away from the characters. These shots should have an effect on the audience as they should see the in-control character at the beginning become more and more vulnerable. 

Point of view (POV) shot - the most abundant shot in our trailer will be POV, this is because we want it to look like it is filmed by the characters like in the Paranormal Activity films or The Blair Witch Project. Although some shots are not going to be POV or character-shot shots but will include a few shots that will be as if they are security cameras. Using POV shots will prevent the audience being reminded of it being a film opposed to real life and should help them feel divulged in the trailer. Although POV shots are generally used in shot reverse shots we are not going to have conversation between characters in a suitable manner as they will not be near each other.
