Shot of actor on the phone from behind

At the beginning of our trailer, whilst 'Lola' is applying make up, the phone rings and it cuts to a shot of her 'boss' giving her orders. We wanted this 'boss' character to remain mysterious so we aimed for the shot of him to capture this. The shot we used was an over the shoulder shot from the side of the character, the lighting was dark so you cannot see the characters face and leaves the audience wondering. From this shot we also wanted the suggest what this character's role would involve, we did this by having the actor holding a whiskey glass and talking in a deep, powerful voice. This makes the character seem controlling and slighting scary, bringing a new suspense to the trailer.
