This shot is from the part of our trailer where our villain stalks and kills his first victim. This is the clearest shot of the antagonist that the audience gets in the trailer, without giving too much away about his identity. We set this shot up carefully so that the lighting meant the characters face was not visible and that he still came across as more of a silhouette to the audience. We show him cleaning blood off of his knife nonchalantly, giving the audience a good idea of the cold hearted nature of the character as well as his murderous intent.
The location of the shot, with the overgrown bushes and dark pathways under bridges is meant to give an idea of the characters hiding away from normal civilisation and lurking in the untouched corners. The character is also surrounded by stinging nettles, carrying the symbolic code of pain and suffering which the audience should associate with the character.
