Treatment

What

We hope to create a 90 second trailer for a 70's slasher movie while also creating a corresponding poster and magazine cover.
Why
At first, we had ideas to create a modern horror trailer but then decided to try a different era and we landed on the 70's. as the effects aren't hard to recreate and the genre also interests us as we all enjoy horrors.
How
Using the cameras, we are given we plan to film either in the school or at another location. Already, we have a number of friends who wish to help, whether it be pertaining to make-up, props, costumes or filming. After filming, we'll use iMovie or Sony Vegas to edit our movie. We'll also need to create a strong score to fit the era, most likely a garage band.
Interest
Erin always had an extensive knowledge of horror films. We also agreed as a group that it would be the most popular genre and easiest to create for our project. 
Conventions
We plan to basically conform to the conventions of the era such as; a strong focus on score, a teenage cast, the killer's backstory oddly explained in the trailer and only glimpses of the killer are shown. We don't really want to challenge the conventions of a 70's horror as the style is what attracted us the genre. 

Shot List

Based on our prior research into horror teasers, we recorded into notes camera shots ordinarily associated with horror trailers. These are a few of our notes, we will discuss which of these shots to feature in our project.

1. Extreme close-up of killer's eyes through mask
2. Close up of weapon in his hand
3. Long shot
4. Medium close up of the victims
5. Medium Long shot of the killer stand still, whilst people walking past, add a time lapse to speed the walking. When the final people walk past the killer disappears.
6. Wide angle close up of victims and/or killer, used for horror effect
7. Over shoulder shot
8. Over head shot
9. POV from killer's face.
