New Plot...

After our decision to change our entire project, we had to completely start from scratch, thinking up an entirely new concept. Doing a horror trailer was something that we decided upon quite quickly, as we felt we needed to move quickly after losing time with our initial idea, and horror was the genre we both felt the most confident in doing, as it worked to the strengths we had gained in AS. The idea for our new teaser trailer is about a couple, who have their house broken into, with the film following the couple as they try to survive, and escape whoever it is that is after them. For the teaser trailer, its going to start out showing a person leaving the house, and closing the door behind them (this person turning out to be the villain). The camera then shows a room which has been completely trashed, and continues to reveal that there are two bodies, on the floor, not moving. This will lead into a flashback of what is actually only a few hours earlier, of the couple unpacking and hearing a noise upstairs. This shot will lead into a fast paced montage of clips, showing the couples attempts at getting away from the person who has broken into their house. To make the audience interested, it will hear the woman whispering, 'he's here', implying that they know who has broken in, and almost as if they've been waiting for the day when he would find them. This will hint further to why the couple are unpacking, as though they've just moved in, suggesting they may have had to move to get away from this person. The trailer will end with a shot of the one of the bodies which looks to be dead at the beginning of the trailer, making a sudden movement, such as grabbing onto something, or clenching a fist, to show that they are infact still alive, leaving the door open for the audience to want answers to a number of questions...
  • whats happened in the last couple of hours?
  • are both of them still alive?
  • how did they survive?
  • will the villain get away?
  • what will happen next?
