Organisation: Colour filter effect on scene

As i showed in a previous blog post in one of the scenes of my trailer i have added a filter to one of the scenes.

The clip above shows the filter on the video in effect in the trailer. I added this filter for a couple of reasons:

For starters i thought that by adding the colour effect that the scene would be improved somewhat and would make the scene stand out more and make the scene unique. By adding the filter i also thought that it would add a sense of mystery and intrigue. Furthermore by adding the colour effect i tried to convey the feeling that hope was fading and when these antagonists appear then the movie gets dark and more creepy. Also i wanted to suggest that the antagonists are the epitome of darkness and when they are there there is no light and hope as they work in the shadows as the title of the film suggests.

Secondly i got the idea to add the filter from another horror film trailer for insidious. As you can see from the image on the left in the trailer there features a scene where the characters are filtered in the black and white filter which is exactly like mine. In the insidious trailer the filter adds a lot more creepiness to the scene as well as mystery and this is what i tried to add and convey in my trailer with the scene that is filtered  in black and white.

From here i am going to get some feedback from my target audience to see if the scene works as a whole and if the added filter works with out and see what they think
