Mini-trailer condensed
Our trailer within the trailer is now condensed and is a reasonable length in time. This taught me that during film editing, many clips have to be shortened to create an appropriate short trailer,
Mini-trailer for Horror film trailer
After putting the clips together, we compromised to produce a final mini-trailer which we will use to start our official horror trailer with . We have used mise en abyme to reflect the post modernist theory as their theory is to play with the audiences expectations. Our official trailer will start off with a shortened version of this trailer shown above. This will therefore confuse the audience into expecting the unexpected.
