Over the past week we have started to film for our SWEDE, where we are replicating the trailer for The Gallows. We have picked this because we believe that the trailer's structure is simple and easy to recreate and since the film nods towards the paranormal genre, the trailer could inspire us for our own final trailer. The trailer starts pitch black and a green light over a double door is shown, in a way where someone is holding the camera. This happens for near enough half a second before the screen turns pitch black again. Then, again looking like he is holding the camera, a boy is shown from a low angle, with a horrified look on his face and turns his head to the right before going pitch black again. He then appears and puts his hand over the camera, which we have so far found it simple to replicate and overall conveys an effective opening for the trailer and intrigues the audience to watch more of it.
