Sequence one

Here is the first draft for my horror movie teaser trailer, from viewing it you can see the several motifs and cinema conventions that I had included in my teaser. The first noticeable motif will the the use of letterboxing, letterboxing is the technique of "transferring film shots into a widescreen aspect ration to standard-width video format while preserving the film's original aspect ratio"- Wikipedia, I had added a letterbox to my trailer to achieve a rich cinematic look. 
Like I had stated earlier in my blog I had began to use adobe after effects to create a film institution intro and some trailer intersections, just like the letterboxing these conventions were placed to increase the authenticity of my teaser trailer. 
Emphasizing on the themes of the darker side of technology I had included free stock footage of static to act as an transition between scenes in my teaser, I had also used adobe after effects to create some glitch effects and transitions to better fit the general tech theme of the teaser. 
The music that I am using in my teaser trailer is called Oh Death, this was a short track that was created for the US hit TV show Supernatural that was used to introduce the character of death into the shows continuity, I believe that this song is quite fitting for my teaser as the lyrics give an emphasis on death, a key theme that is heavily implied in my teaser trailer.
