This shot is from the introductory news broadcast that sets up the story of our film. We filmed this on a road between Leatherhead and Fetcham that was relatively quiet, which aided filming. We set the shot up in the same manner that we saw real news stories set up, with the reporter on the right-hand side of the screen and a location relative to the story taking up the background on the left-hand side. We made sure our reporter was dressed appropriately too add to the realism. We chose this location as it looked like an abandoned structure, covered in moss and with litter strewn across the floor. We thought this would look good as the asylum in our story that our antagonist escapes from as it looks generally creepy and would not be somewhere you would want to explore further.
We use the news broadcast to relay several key points of our narrative to the audience in a quick manner without it seeming forced, which would take away from the realism of our trailer as a whole. Here, the audience finds out that there is a dangerous killer who has escaped from a mental asylum and is now on the run, with no one knowing where he is. This is also how our protagonists find out about the antagonist in the film as he enters their house, meaning the method also progresses the plot rather than just informing the audience of the story.
