When researching into trailer I believed that this very scene in the bale witch project was captivating. The angle and close up position of the hand held camera allows us as the audience to be pulled out from our reality and understand the pain she is going through at that very moment. As a group we had decided that we want to create a similar scene like this, as our genre is documentary thriller we ha wanted to create a way for our target audience to know that it is a documentary by having the camera angle like this they will comprehend because a professional movie would not do an angle like this. However our context and scene for this will not be the same as the Blair witch project but the camera angle and positioning will be so our main character is the focal point within this scene.

During our trailer I had noticed that most documentary thriller had the location of the characters. Both catfish and paranormal activity showed their location and we had wanted to apply this convention into our trailer as we believed that the location would make our target audience interested and make the movie relatable for them if they came from the location or they knew it. We had changed the font and size of our text compared to the paranormal activity one as theirs had been narrow and we had wanted it bold and bigger to capture the audiences attention.

Having a mid shot of another character is also important for any trailer. It allows the audience to see the location, often with an establishing shot, but also the character itself. Non verbal action from a character can tell an audience about how the character is feeling at the scene. In this scene Ayyaz is standing in a tough position but with a confused look on his face, combining this with Laura Mulveys theory of active male this scene further on shows how Ayyaz protects Lauren.
