This mid level trailing shot consists of one of the characters entering the woods, I though this shot pair with the shot below suggested an aspect of their being something else in the woods and that he may become hunted and that the antagonist could be anywhere.






















This extreme panning close up also gives the impression that he is being watched and that he may be the soon to be victim.

This shot is also paired with some eerie tense but subtle and quite background music in order to build up small amounts of suspense whilst also still keeping and image of mystery.

This shot nearing the end of the trailer has a very powerful impact on the overall image and intensity of the trailer. This clever half a second flicker on and off gives the trailer more of a sinister and mysterious vibe to it creating that image in the audiences mind.

This shot which is a ground shot of one of the 'kids' in the trailer shows him to be the victim, as everything about the shot shows him at a lower and vulnerable position suggesting he is inferior and being victimized by the supposed 'bad guy'.

In this shot of another ground shot, a simple but effective shot, implying abduction and death wile building tension for the audience, simply by a low shot of a ball and a shoe, making the entire shot successful just through the implication and the imagination of the audience.
