Synopsis
I am making a horror teaser trailer that follows the story of a rouge conductor making an army of his evil puppets. To achieve this I plan on having quite a fast-paced trailer with one longer scene at the end. I want quick smooth cuts and I will have 6 different scenes with no narration in the background just music and a few sound effects such as Bram. The main plot is gonna follow an orchestrator/conductor who is turning a group of people into puppets for his strange orchestra of people he has killed. My trailer will reveal a fair amount of the plot but will show different scenes and shots I feel will be most effective. I am doing this as I feel it will have the best effect and not give away the whole storyline. My first scene will be in an old farm where I plan to make it seem like people are hanging from a barn. I will then cut to an old house and a grand piano being played with no one to be seen playing it. Next, I will quickly cut to some lights flickering and then a scene of some people trying to get away from my main antagonist as he is trying to kill them. Lastly, I will have a longer scene in a forest with the orchestrator making his people move like puppets tied in the trees. I plan on using a song called "Nurses Office" as it fits very well with my theme. In addition, the name of my film/teaser is going to be "Orchistrater". I will be using an organ in a local church for one scene and a few other props I have got for the teaser. Lastly, my lighting throughout the film will be dark and dingey to evoke a feeling of horror to the audience.

My storyboards show the 6 different scenes I have all set in different locations. My storyboards pictures may not be the best but from it, I can see what props I need and how to layout my shots which I have planned out to make sure it looks the best it can on camera.

I have a wide range of shots I will be using all to enhance my teaser trailer and fit with the typical codes and conventions of horror. All these shots will be shot by myself on my canon 250d using a range of equipment including a slider, 2 tripods, and a shoulder cam.

I have 5 locations I will be using that I have picked as I feel they will fit with the genre very well. for example the church, an old farm, a forest, and a run-down park/field. I will be using these locations on Monday the 7th all through the day.

I'm using a mixture of both mine and borrowed equipment for the shoot. My camera will be the canon 250d to pair with this I will be using wide, macro and zoom lenses for it. I also have a LED light to add some warmth to faces. Next, I have the drone which I may be using for 1 shot of all my characters. Next, the mic I will record foley with it is a Rode Video mic pro. Lastly, I have the tripods and the slider I will be using for steady pans and tracking shots.
Props I Will Be Using
![IMG_1129.jpeg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/7cf3be_0884f7c315ae4fce9a1eed1ab6e22993~mv2_d_3024_4032_s_4_2.jpeg/v1/fill/w_322,h_429,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_avif,quality_auto/IMG_1129.jpeg)
I have a few props I will be using. my main prop is the LED masks I have along with the fake blood that will be used lots throughout the teaser. The wand is getting used for the conductor's stick and the string to make people look like puppets. Finally, there's my dummy I have put together which I'm using to hang from a building for one of my scenes.
Post Production Plan
Editing isn't my strongest skill but will be watching many tutorials to try and target my skills to what I need for my teaser. My plan for editing is to have a mid to fast-paced trailer with cuts to the beat of the music that i have yet to decide. I will also be editing in foley I will be recording when I'm out filming for some added sound effects. I plan on using warp stabilizer to make my footage smoother with colour grading over the top to make the colours darker and more dull to fit with the horror genre and a scary feeling. Lastly, I plan on using a green screen type system to edit someone's hand out of a shot so it looks like no one is involved but i will need to wat h some tuorials on how top do this.

Here we did some random photos to practice all different types of composition such as leading lines, filling the frame, symmetry and patterns and repetition. From this I can see what I like for example I really like the way the leading lines photo works and ki will try and use this in my teaser I also really like the symmetry photo. However, I'm not a fan of patterns and repetition I tend to find this boring but now I have experimented with these different shots so I know for sure that I don't like it.
