In conclusion we have all gathered that for this film trailer we will set in in the abandoned compound the we will have visited many times and we will show the teenagers approaching the compound up the pathway and into the opening of the compound. We will have it decorated as though it has been abandoned for years and will show all of its haunted aspects. As our main character we will have Kate Lochhead playing the main role as the exploring young teenager who wanders upstairs to reveal the houses darkest secrets. Throughout the trailer we will hold back on how much is revealed as he storyline shouldn't be emphasised too much. All through the trailer we will have a very subtle dark and spooky soundtrack to add affect to all aspects of the trailer. Overall we will have a basic showing of the main outlines of the movie and make it captivating to all age groups watching and make them intrigued to watch more.
Genre:
The genre of this trailer belongs to horror. The conventions we will follow will be the usual weaponry and scenery that would be situated in any horror genre film trailer. We will try to make our trailer unique and unexpected so that it isn't like all other horrors. Throughout the storyboard it is clear that we have gone for a more suspense and thrilled theme.
Content/structure:
The main story of our trailer is that a group of teens adventure through an unknown and unrecognised location. One specific girl takes a burdened interest in the building and starts to venture off into the unseen parts of the house. She leaves her group to do so and ends up alone for the rest of the visit. She starts to see facts and figures that she soon wishes she never saw before. As she walks back down stairs she realises that her friends are no longer in reach of her. Whilst she is downstairs she starts to hear noises and see dark shadowed figures as she attempts to escape. We will show shots of the girl in the kitchen with the male figure behind her with loud and quiet drifts of music. To end the movie trailer we will have a loud slamming bang of the door followed with an immensely loud terrifying scream. For the name of the movie we have been thinking about calling it 'insomniac' as it gives you the impression that both the audience and the characters will be left sleepless.
Audience:
Our target audience will be roughly 16+ as its too inappropriate for ages younger than that. There is no specific gender that this trailer is aimed at as its for people who are intrigued by horror movies and that simply like to watch this genre. As for interests of course those who don't like horrors will not watch these types of movies. Our trailer is for those who like to watch horror and we will meet those standards, the only way that a watched will not enjoy their experience will be if they are not satisfied by horrors.
Representation:
Our characters will be represented accordingly towards their descriptions. There are certain aspects of the trailer that are stereotypical as the girl will be wearing the white dress costume which is commonly seen in various film trailers. The way in which we have dressed the characters has a sense of meeting stereotypes. As for the weapons they are also commonly situated in horrors as we often see hammers and daggers which are the weapons that we have chosen to use.
Institution:
The film trailer will be distributed shortly before the release of the movie, we will not be releasing anything other than a film trailer accept maybe a poster with the description of the movie alongside with the day of release. Our film trailers will be situated across the social media such as youtube coming up as a link for people to watch.
Narrative: The story will be showing the teenagers stepping foot into the compound for the first time and wandering around and showing a close up of the girl walking upstairs and exploring into the bedroom with door. We will then show snap shots of her re living the flashback and her coming back into reality after seeing the haunting truths of the past in that house. We will show a close up of her walking back down the stairs realising that her friends have disappeared and show snippets of the old man standing directly behind her with a white light shining on his face every jump shot.
Voice over: There will be no voice over as we will just be showing their conversation and keep the haunted parts silent for effect we will also have creepy music playing for the majority of the trailer to create that sort of cliffhanger effect as well as suspense.
Mise en scene: The mise en scene is set in an abandoned compound, the props we will use will be dark objects that are spooky e.g. a haunted hammer and dusty unused furniture as well as covered furniture to add the old haunted house effect. All lighting will either be quick glance of light but mainly dark throughout the trailer, this will leave the audience with a doubt to continue watching but not being able to resist.
Location: Our location is set in an abandoned villa in the compound nine pearls, this is a good location that we chose as the villa is right opposite the compound pool which is an area that we are aiming to film in. Inside the villa there is a lot of unused furniture and dust which emphasizes the haunted/ horror effect.
