An example of this is the Dolly Zoom we were planning to use when our protagonist first takes the drug.After filming this scene using this particular effect, we found as we watched it back it looked too comical. We therefore decided to change this shot to a close-up of the protagonist. We found this worked better as the audience was clearly able to see the characters emotions, showing the effect the drug had on her, which provided a very clear narrative, unlike the Dolly Zoom.
Another example of this is where we decided against using dramatic music for the main part of our trailer, which we originally attended to do. We decided instead to use a remix of a popular pop song (Pumped Up Kicks) as we felt as though it paralleled what was going on screen very well, as it conveyed the disorientation the protagonist was feeling at the party, and the negative effects of the drug it had on her later in the trailer. We felt that the use of dramatic music throughout our trailer would not make the genre as clear, as it would make it seem like more of a horror. On top of this, as our Teaser Trailer has some social realist aspects in it, the use of using a pop song conforms to this type of genre.
We also did use some techniques and ideas from our inspirations list. An example of this is where we used red tints/lighting within our Teaser Trailer as the colour red can connote a sense of danger that a character may face, conforming to the idea about the dangers of drugs. It also conformed to our genre.
Finally we also used Close Up Shots in our Teaser Trailer as it conforms to the Psychological Thriller genre building tension, as the audience can see the Characters Facial expressions clearly. Close-Up Shots can also draw importance to different objects or characters, so the audience is able to focus on them. This worked well in our Teaser Trailer as we were able to use close-up shots of the characters face whilst at the party, and after she takes the drug, to portray the audience the negative effects of the drugs.

We also used Graphic Matching within our Teaser Trailer, as we found it looked very effective within our Teaser Trailer.We used graphic matching for a montage scene to demonstrate the normality of the protagonists life, which contrasted with the shot towards the end of the trailer where we used a handheld shot of her running down the street showing her descent into chaos.
