These images of the lighting in the TV studio were taken by Lou and Rosie on Rosie's DSLR.
Here is a shot of Rosie tied to the chair during her audition.
Lighting Effects Used in Our Trailer
While we were filming, the lighting effects had to be as intended; so that they fit the horror genre to attract the target audience and create an atmosphere that is thrilling and tension building.
In order to create an eery, mysterious effect we arranged for the neon light to be turned on and the main tungten lighting to be switched off for the Hallway shots; as the female character walks to her audition. This sets the mood and genre at the start of the trailer; catching the attention of the horrror loving audience, puzzling them and showing a spooky atmosphere.
For the audition room shots we tested the lights and came up with an order of lighting throughout. Firstly, we used one red light and the main singer light; this gave the room a slight red tint but it wasn't too overpowering as Rosie needed to be visible, this shows the audience she is the main character and the red symbolises the danger she is in. The lighting stayed the same until Rosie had collected her chair as told and took it to the centre of the room - at this point the Singer light was brighter which showing the audience Rosie is uncomfortable as the light was shining in her eyes therefore she couldn't see anyone or anything around her.
As Ali (Asif) hits Rosie round the head with the hammer, the lighting colour change along with the brightness levels so a flashing effect is created; this shows a sense of panic to the audience, bulding the tension. Just before the hammer hits Rosie we created a blackout by switching all the lights off for a sudden change of atmosphere. This enables the audiences to reflect on what had happened and for the scene to calm down.
While shooting the alleyway scene a combination of Nightvision shots and natural shots were used, this was in the late afternoon on a dull day in a dark alleyway; therefore the lighting was limited creating a murky atmosphere. This shows the audience that the hand held camera, blurry footage is a point of view from Rosie; taking them to the edge to find out what happens next, creating a 'nerve racking' atmosphere.
For the car shots we used the lighting from the street lights ( as it was night time) along with the front and rear lights of the car. To create a natural look, the red tinge created again gives the audience a sence of danger as to what has happened to the main character, drawing their tension in and making them want to see the film, Psychopath.
Teaser trailer music!
The music for our film need to fit the horror genre and attract the audience; along with fitting in with our story line and footage.
Suspence and intense excitement needs to be created with our music; dark tones that change from slow to fast pace building tension and setting the mood and atmosphere.
The first song we have thought about is called 'Madhouse' by Rihanna, as it is an intro to her music album therefore it is only 1 minute, 35 seconds long. It has the perfect tempo and it isn't too over the top and loud but it is intriguing and catchy. It is likely that we will use this song as it fits perfectly with our trailer andis 'catchy' which is important while attracting the audiences attention.
Another soundtract used for Saw would fit our trailer; it creates tension without lyrics. It is intriguing and catchy to the audience with its perfect tempo and tension build.
Rihanna- Mad House
Saw Sound track
Here is a website which has several suspense and thriller sound tracks which is perfect for giving us ideas of what sort of music we could try throughout different parts to create excitement, as there are many different sounds that all fit into the thriller genre.
Below is a list of music that we could use throughout our film, however these are only ideas and we may come up with different music when editing:
Alexandre Desplat – New Moon
Minerva - Deftones
My Chemical Romance - I Dont Love You
Nany Sinatra - Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)
Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words
Finally we have decided Rihanna- Mad house fits our genre and footage the best. We feel the tempo build up created an eery atmosphere which adds tension and excitement to the intended audience drawing in their attention. It is the perfect timing for a teaser trailer.
