Plots & stock situations with shots from existing films

Goodnight mommy (2015)

The long shot is effective because it shows how isolated the people are. We could repeat this shot and use it where Lilith is staring at one of the children. This would be effective because the audience would panic for the child, as they know she is dangerous. We could use this in any of the three child parts. An example may be the child at the park with their parents. Where the two boys are standing, there could be Lilith and where their mother is standing could be the child on the swing.

Sinister 2 (2015)

This low angle shot makes the character superior. We could use this angle when showing Lilith. This is to reinforce her power. The audience would question what she could do, as she seems so controlling. The low angle would make the audience scared of Lilith.

Dead story (2015)

This close up is effective because we can see her facial expression. We could use ranges of close up when the dead people are placed in different positions. This would make the audience worry and frightened. The tight frame forces us to focus on the character.

The visit (2015)

The two shot is effective because it reveals the characters relationship. We could use a two shot when one of the children is having a great time with their parents. This would make the audience feel sympathy for the children and dislike the killer, Lilith, as she is preventing their happiness.

Jessabelle (2014)

This long shot is effective because it makes the audience wonder why the corridor is so empty. We could use a long shot at the scene where one of the children is by themselves. An example is when a child comes out of school and waits for their parents. This would make the audience hope nothing harmful would happen to child, as they are alone.

The boy (2016)

There is an establishing shot used in this trailer. In our trailer, we could have an establishing shot. An example may be Lilith’s house. Even though we are planning to film Lilith’s house at school, we could use the exterior of another house. We could find a house that appears haunted. This would scare the audiences.

The hallow (2015)

There are black screens between different shots. We could use this between our different shots as well. This would create mysterious and make the audience eager to find out what is happening as soon as possible. Black would be a good idea and we could repeat this as it creates a tense atmosphere. Black is usually associated with danger.

House of Wax (2005)

This shot is effective because it is unusual. The audiences would not expect the company to be in a dull tone. This creates a secretive feeling for the audiences. We could play around with the color of the company’s logo.

Pay the ghost (2015)

We could use this type of shot when we have Lilith looking at pictures of the children she is targeting. This shot makes the audience worry about what the pictures are for and who they are.

The witch trailer (2016)

We could use this shot but vary some aspects. An example is making one word stand out. We could do this by underlining or changing the color of the word. This would catch the audiences’ eye. We could use a similar typography to this one. This is because the serif typography makes it seem as if there are some parts missing of the text. This creates a secretive feeling for the audience.
