Proposals: Idea 2

Idea:
After a teenage boy has gone missing, he is pronounced dead. His friends are suspicious as there is no funeral and his family move away without any warning. When they receive voice mails off his number, the question turns to, is he still alive?

Editing:
The editing at the start of the film is going to be slow because its sad when the boy has died and been pronounced dead. There will be some fades to black to show they're suspicious. When The voice mail comes through and friends are scared there will be no editing, just a full shot of the event and then a  fast jump cut which when collaborated with sound, will hopefully make the viewer jump. There will then be lost of fast paced jump cuts to show the horror and action of the film.

Sound:
Ambient sound will be used throughout the clip for realism. There will be slow, sad music (maybe a piano) in the background of the first part of the trailer, for when the boy had died. There will be dialogue throughout the trailer and a voice over towards the end of the clip for the film name and release date. When the phone rings, I want all music to be cut and silence except for the phone ringing, this will create tension. When the friends try to find out whats going on, the music will be more fast paced because of the feel of whats happening in the clip.

Cinematography:
When the boy goes missing, there will be a collage of pictures whilst dialogue is playing over the top. These pictures, will be a mix of medium close up and close up but then leaving the last one on an extreme close up to make the viewers believe he is dead, and feel empathy towards the friends.
When they receive the phone call, we have decided that it should originally be shot further away, so it looks like a normal phone call, then after close ups of scared, shocked faces, the camera will zoom in to a close up of the boys name on caller ID.

Mise-en-scene:
The outfits worn in the trailer would be very naturalistic. We would need certain props, like a mobile phone for example. The trailer would be set in numerous places, like a bedroom for example, when they receive the phone call and a school, where they find out their friend had died.
