What genre would I do? Thriller, as they often have the most straight foward conventions to follow.
What would it be about? a serial killer who enjoys toying with his victims before killing them, hides in various unexpected places around their house, he is so infamous that his voice strikes fear into people. So he calls his victims and taunts them before finally ending their lives. But one victim is too determined to die at this killers leisure, and the trailer would show suspensful clips and shots of the victim about to be killed while he is frantically trying to find a way to counter the killer.
How would I do this? I would have evry short takes of many clips that cut between each other, this would give a sense of tension, urgency and drama as the audience would have trouble keeping up which emulates how fast the main character has to react or think to the serial killers movements in order to survive, it would show high angle shots of telescopes/spyglasses (to show the audience the serial killer without revealing him) to show he has power, and some low angle shots of the victim, to show that he doesent have power.
Theese angles could be reversed in one shot, to give the main character the power, thus hinting his determination to survive, and his plans to stop the killer, while generating suspense.
How would I do this? There are many abstract and unique places at my home that a supposed serial killer could hide in, such as a big blue shed in my garden. Spygalsses should be asy to purchase, and I could subsitute binoculars. The main location would be my house, a consistent location which shouldnt go through any major changes
