This screenshot comes from the 2nd act in our trailer that involves our antagonist stalking and killing his first victim. We opted to use a low-angled mid-shot to show our killers movements as this empowered the character, making him seem more powerful and threatening as he is above the audience. This also helped to show less of the character, as was our intention throughout our trailer in order to create enigma codes surrounding our antagonists identity. In other shots involving our killer we could use lighting to help mask his face but as the location we used to film the above shot was well-lit we thought we would only focus on the bottom half of the character so as not to give too much away.
Having the bottom half of the shot show the mud and the top half the sky and the trees offers a nice juxtaposition to the shot. Having a shot composed like this with contrasting features should have a slight unsettling effect on our audience, which is why we set up many of the shots involving this character in the same fashion.
