Shot Types Featured In The Trailer

Shot 1:
·         Background music plays, it’s a song Charlie is listening to on his headphones but that is not apparent at the beginning.
·         Establishing shot sets the scene by showing the house, long wide shot.
·         It’s night – natural darkness.
·         The rain can be heard as well as the music.
Shot 2:
·         Fade out to dark brick wall moving to dark wall inside with hanging pictures on it – as if the camera is tracking along the walls. Music continues.
Shot 3:
·         The tracking shot comes to a stop and we see Charlie through a doorway on his computer. Music continues but we begin to hear the sound of tapping on the keyboard and clicking mouse.
Shot 4:
·         Sound of typing is heard below the rain, the sound of the rain then fades and the tapping becomes louder.
·         Over-shoulder-shot shows ‘Charlie’ watching a video he’s posted.
Shot 5:
·         Close-up of his hand on the mouse – scrolling down, no sound.
Shot 6:
·         Straight cut to medium shot of the comments under the video, they read: ‘What’s behind you?’, ‘WTF is that?’, ‘There’s something behind you!’ ‘What effects did you use?’ Charlie removes his headphones and the background music becomes tinny because the music becomes diegetic, then he turns the music off.
Shot 7:
·         Quick straight cut showing the girl at night, green colour correction is used, static can be heard. 1 second.
Shot 8:
·         Quick straight cut back to the computer mouse, close up.
Shot 9:
·         Straight cut to Charlie in the kitchen opening a cupboard in the day.­­
Shot 10:
·         Quick straight cut to the girl standing in the corner of the room, green colour correction, interference and static can be heard.


Shot 11:
·         Straight cut to Charlie filming for his vlog, he says ‘it feels weird, like someone’s here with me’, interference halfway through and his eyes change colour and his voice becomes distorted halfway through the sentence. Medium shot.
Shot 12:
·         ‘Ring-a-Ring-a-Roses’ song begins to play in the background, child voice is singing it. Black screen which fades to the long shot of the girl walking past the window of the house, you can see Charlie in another room, background horror sound.
Shot 13:
·         Straight cut to a scene where Charlie’s in the car and the car light shines onto a dead end road as a shadow flashes in the narrow light beam you see the girl. He swerves.
Shot 14:
·         A shot of Charlie in the attic finding a picture of a girl who used to live in the house and a doll and an old newspaper clipping explaining how she died in the house, medium close up.
Shot 15:
·         Quick cut to close up of Charlie’s face as he realises she used to live there.
Shot 16:
·         Charlie vlogging saying ‘She used to live here’, he’s shaking. ‘Ring-a-Ring-a-Roses’ stops.
Shot 17:
·         Crying in the corner of the room, medium shot. Rocking backwards and forwards. High pitched noise in the background.
Shot 18:
·          Then a close up of him asking for help, dark circles under his eyes, hand held camera used. Static noise.
Shot 19:
·         Black screen, hand held camera pointing down, Charlie’s feet running he shouts ‘leave me alone!’ Heavy breathing. Medium close up.

Shot 20:
·         Medium close up. Bloody footprints on the floor stop Charlie from running. He pulls the camera up to show all the footprints at the end of the hallway the silhouette of the girl is there. Screaming noise in the background.


Shot 21:
·         Quick straight cut to where a loud bang is heard and all the cupboards open at once.
Shot 22:
·         Quick straight cut, Charlie is shown being dragged through the air by nothing, no sound.
Shot 23:
·         Here a loud exaggerated bang of Charlie hitting the ground, the camera falls over and you see an arm fall to the floor.
Shot 24:
·         Screen cuts to black and the title of the film and information appears, soft sound of a girl laughing in the background, static across the screen.
Shot 25:
·         Once again the screen cuts to black. But the distortion of the screen continues and breathing can be heard in the background.
