Shot & Editing Lists.

In my action/thriller called 'TimeShift', I am aiming my teaser trailer to have a fast pace to it. To do this however, I cannot just make it fast pace as it would have no effect on the audience in the long term therefore, I will build and build up the pace as in a lot of the thrillers/action film trailers iv'e seen/studied they build up the pace to create effect. It keeps the audience intrigued as the pace differentiates. To do this, I will have to use various editing techniques as well as various camera shots.

The shots I will definitely be using are:

Close Up: when action trailers use these, they mostly use them to capture various emotions in the faces of the character to allow the audience to be able to make 'assumptions' but not 'decisions' on them.

Establishing Shot: Sets out where all the action is going to be taking place. Can be really effective as well, depending on the location.

Mid Shot: Is a standard shot. I can use this well to show again the characters emotional OR to show if they are in danger or a danger with eg; weapons in their hands. 

Extreme Close Up: I may consider using one of these but it isn't a definite as I may not sure if I want to give to much away.

Editing

Cut: This is a standard technique used more times than the others. It is a 'realistic' shot to keep all realism in the film. Whereas a fade takes realism away. The quick cut from shot-to-shot keeps you involved and allows you to continue watching.

Fade: I may not used the fade as like I said before, it takes realism out of the film. I may use it to symbolise a flashback but I haven't quite decided.
