The working title for our teaser trailer is Subdued. Reason being, the name ‘Subdued’ fits so well with the general idea and theme of our film. The film itself is a psychological horror film about an evil demon which preys on people in the dark. This idea is very unique and can be likened to the j horror and supernatural sub genres of horror due to the fact that they have similar characteristics in terms of the evil spirits and the idea of darkness conveying uncertainty.
We hope to construct a trailer around 30 to 50 seconds in length which will create the right amount of suspense and not give away the story or the plot.
SYNOPSIS:
When a young man working late, goes missing at work without a trace of evidence left behind, watch as this horrific crime becomes the least of the town’s problem.
Example of some main Characters:
Mike: Aged 23, recently graduated out of a city university, now in a dead end job in his hometown,
Ashley: Aged 21, pretty young woman who got on well with Mike at their workplace until his untimely disappearance.
Mayor Windsor: Corrupt official who wants nothing more than to stay in power by any means necessary
Bruce: Aged 32, Cassandra figure who knows about the sudden dark change in the town and tries to warn others about it.
Demon: Aged???, Evil force which randomly comes to a small town and vividly attacks the sanity of the towns people
Main Teaser Trailer Scenes
Scene 1
(2 to 3 seconds in length)
Begin with a slow 180 degree crab of a man working at a desk
Scene 2
(3 to 4 seconds in length)
Fade to black with an extreme close up of a mobile vibrating because of a text message. The text message will say ‘I want your soul’
Scene 3
(3 to 4 seconds in length)
Cut to a reaction shot of the mans facial expression. Then the camera follows him as he hears a loud sound from the cupboard and sees it shaking.
Scene 4
(3 to 4 seconds in length)
Cut to a slow dollying movement as the man moves towards the cupboard
Scene 5
(2 to 3 seconds in length)
Cut to the male character opening up the cupboard and finding that nothing is there.
Scene 6
(2 to 3 seconds in length)
Cut to the man closing the cupboard and then the audience seeing part of the antagonist on the mans left hand side before a blackout
Intended audience
The intended audience for the film is people in their mid-teens to people in their late twenties. The reason for this age range is because the rating for horror films starts at 15 and the theme of the film is not too graphic. Many people within the age range particularly in their late twenties can relate to the struggle of the protagonist, Mike in terms of being in an unfulfilled job after graduating from University. By mostly having characters similar in age to those of the intended audience, it helps in some sense to allow the audience to connect with the characters in a deeper personal level as they may are more likely to understand the characters personal turmoil’s.
