2. This first still is a long shot to show all the members of the
family in one scene to show how happy and peaceful they
are, the equilibrium of the trailer.
The effect that this trailer has is that it makes the
audience feel that there is a happy moment within this
movie, while its all tranquil.
3. This next still image is a two-shot which shows one of the three
antagonist peering at an unsuspecting member of the family
through a window. The effect of this shot is that it creates a sense
of fear and tension, as we now know the antagonists, wearing the
masks are stalking this family and now we know what they look like
too.
4. This next still shows one member of the family who has just been shot
in the head by a crossbow bolt and the other members of the in shock
of the situation. The effect that this causes is that it brings in the first
real scenes of violence and the faces and emotion of the others
witnessing these events are shocked and fearful, also gives the
audience that feeling too.
5. This next still is an establishing shot of the house of which the event
of this movie take place. In the order of the trailer this still takes
place immediately after the electric is turned off, causing fear and
caution throughout the household.
6. This low angled shot of one of the antagonist is a shot that
asserts dominance in the scene, making the audience
know who is in control and superior in the movie. The
effect of this is that with the masked antagonist it may
create a uneasy feeling for the audience because masked
antagonists always create fear.
7. This two-shot is a still of a dead member of the family (left) and
one of the antagonists. This shot is probably what one of the
other members of the family will see and that would create fear
and frighten them, as it probably would the audience.
8. This POV shot shows the eye line of one of the antagonists as they
are looking down the crosshairs of a crossbow, about to shoot one
of the family members. The intension of this shot, I think, is show the
audience what weapon they are using, incase there was any
confusion.
