Micro element- Mise en scene

For our teaser trailer we have targeted the mise en scene and in particular the camera angles for our trailer. I have chosen to use dutch angles in our trailer because  it is conventional in  the horror/thriller genre. A dutch angle is a a tilt shot where the camera is titled in order to create a tension and to disorientate the viewer. It was a camera technique often used by renowned directer Albert Hitchcock.

The key to making this shot even more profound is the lighting. During the editing our our trailer I hope to make the trailer predominantly black and white because it will make the dutch angles stand out more and as a consequence the atmosphere the trailer could potentially create would be really creepy.
