When researching and looking at various trailers for ideas and inspiration I had seen a very easy and effective shot from a particular new trailer called ‘Pusher’ (2012). This specific shot is a close up of the main protagonist in the movie holding a lighter in front of his face. This shot had appealed to me as it could be easily shot and matches the type of shots shown in thriller genre movies. It could also mean and represent a lot of different things such as the light and dark being a representation of good and evil which is a major subject of our trailer. I had aimed to replicate this type of shot for our trailer and had filmed it in my house. To do this shot I had to first make my room completely dark by turning off all the lights and positioning myself in front on my bedroom wall. I had then used the lighter as the main source of light when filming. As far as acting I just had to make myself look confused and worried which would hopefully create a sense of tension and suspense for the audience.
‘Pusher’ (2012) is about a drug pusher's life that spins out of control over the course of one week. The film is directed by Luis Prieto and stars Richard Coyle, Bronson Webb and Agyness Deyn.
As you can see in the screen shot below is the original shot used in the film ‘Pusher’ (2012). The shot manages to create a sense of tension suspense through its use of lighting.
Here you can see in this screen shot is the shot I have personally created. As you can see it is very similar as the one above and relies on lighting to create atmosphere for the audience.
