In our trailer we decided to feature a shot of the protagonists wife Sarah dead in the bath tub, as this would be the trigger and spiral of Cameron's madness. Despite giving away the fact she dies the plot line is not actually given away as really it is Cameron who kills his own wife as part of his night time killing spree as he sees her as evil and a danger to him. When watching the programme Dexter, Dominic noticed the scene of Rita's death would be very interesting to try and remake with our own spin on it as it fit's the horror genre (blood- typical horror iconography, female victim)
These are some images of the death scene from Dexter.
The second shot is particularly interesting as it contrasts innocence with death and danger (note the young baby boy covered in blood.
In our version of Sarah's death scene we are planning to use some point of view shots- to allow us to empathise with Cameron and see things from his perspective, an over the shoulder shot which allows us to see Sarah from behind and her body lying in the blood and a mid shot similar to the one above allowing us to see Cameron's body outline but not his facial expression.
