Sound of FIND ME
Our trailer has much more dialogue that a conventional teaser trailer because we wanted to give it a realistic documentary feel. The clip starts with a conversation in the car. Asynchronous dialogue is used during the hand held shots in the woods when the camera operter is filming and chatting to his friends. This ads realism and a sense of everyday to the scene and establishes the equilibrium which is then shattered by the sound of screaming.The sound of the typewriter was added to connote a police report. This would not normally be used in a horror trailer, even in Blairwitch there was no sound when the text came up on screen so this is a point at which we broke with convention in order to create a hybrid horror/documentary. Most of the sounds are ambient like the rustling of leafs and heavy breathing which was chosen to partner a close up shot to increase the suspense due to the camera being on a fixed point. You can almost feel that something will happen, this is when sound effects come into to the trailer with the thud and bad tv sounds. These are followed by a loud boom from the soundtrack followed by a monotonous drone ramping up the tension and the suspicions of the viewer. This is followed by the ambient high pitched squeal of the boiler room and heavy breathing ended with a echoed 'find me' and a blast from the sound track to cause fright within the audience. this is then surpassed by a loud distorted boon with the title screen. the last shot is of Kerry screaming and a beeping life support machine creating an enigma, 'what has happened?' which is exactly what a teaser trailer should do, it should whet the viewer's appetite enough that they want to watch the film.
