Trailer PitchGeorge Brinan and Marcus Osinfolarin

Genre Chosen Genre : Horror

We had a group discussion on what genre we would choose and concluded that horror would be the main genre we would focus on.

We originally looked at sci-fi but chose horror as we thought it will be easier to make look like a real film trailer.

Synopsis

Possible Name: ‘Elude’

Storyline:

Two teenagers follow a light they see into an abandoned building. One of them does not think it is a good idea, whilst the other filled with confidence wants to track the light down. Whilst searching for what they saw they become separated. One boy uses a phone/camcorder to capture what he sees, his friend later discovers the phone/camcorder abandoned with no trace of his friend. He will search for his friend despite his opposing feelings towards staying there.

Horror Iconography These are the sort of places that have

become associated with horror movies. As you can see abandoned buildings and lifeless forests are common in horror movies and we wanted to implement this into our trailer.

Horror films are usually centered around the arrival of an event/creature. i.e. the light they see.

Influences

These are some screenshots we took from horror/sci-fitrailers that we thought we could use in our trailer.

Ideas from research CCTV Clips/Footage Jump Scares, i.e. screams, doors

slamming etc. Non-Diegetic Heavy Breathing Little amounts of dialogue Night Time Recording Quiet, calming soundtrack Non-Linear Editing After Effects for Light

Costumes + ActorsCostumesCasual WearHoodie, T-Shirt, Trainers, Jeans

We decided on casual clothing based on what we saw in other horror trailers. In several trailers we watched the common theme was a group of friends enjoying themselves but then end up in a bad situation.

Main two actors will be George and Marcus. We have people that will be willing to film for us. Also if required we have people that will be extras.

Possible Locations

This is the building we were hoping to use in our trailer. We feel the location and the interior fit what the look we wanted to achieve.We also have another location of an abandoned warehouse which we can also use.
