Fear or Fear

In this production there are a number of shots and camera movements present. An example of when a shot is used to create a certian affect, is the use of the close up, this is done to show the actors expression, as a result the audience knows how the actor is feeling and builds tension.
At times a high angled shot is used, this is done to show one character is superior then the other. To coincide with this, a long shot is used to show the surroundings, which helps the audience to visualise whats actaully going on.
In the trailer not alot of pans, tilts or zooms are used, however this could be seen as an advantage as sometimes certain camerawork could look unprofessional and very budgeted.

The sound used in the production is both diegetic and non-diegetic. This is becuase as the production is running we can hear the actors in the back, but the soundtrack is laped over the voices, therefore the non-diegetic sound is what the adueinces hears primarily.

In Fear Of Fear, there is one primary edit that is used constantly, which is the cut. This is when a series of shots are put together, to create build up and pace. However, there are some scenes which fade into others, but the editing is fairly fast and discreet.

The costume of the actors in the trailer are quiet colourful and casual. As a result the trailer seems quiet real, as the clothes featured are worn by urban teenagers. Becuase of this the audience sympathies for the actors, as young teenagers are seen to be helpless.
Becuase a character is wearing dark clothes, we can establish that he is the villian, as dark colours connote evil and death. The contrast between the characters, underlines the evil and the remorseless actor, out of the cast.

The lighting used in the trailer is dark , low-key and there is no bright noticable light in sight. This connotes pain and death, which integrates with the theme and genre of the trailer. The lighting used in the production, helps set the scene thus adds a professional effect to the trailer, which imitates a real horror film, as a result the audience feels more involved with the production.

The acting featured in the trailer was reasonably good, considering the roles that had to be played. The actors fitted into their characters very well e.g. the Villian, as he had to be very serious and fluent with his acting, so that the production looks even and same.
However, the make-up could have looked more neat and real, the reason being is becuase as times it looks very smugged and rushed.

The setting and props worked effectivly, as each of them helped set the scene. The setting coincides with the genre of the trailer, as the surroundings looks very effective. The main prop is the axe, which obviously connotes death.
