Planning ( research into target audience) & Practice trailer

TARGET AUDIENCE
Our target audience are young male and female  teenagers from the age of 13 to 20. We chose to have both gender teenagers because we found that they tend to enjoy watching horror films. Once we established who our target audience are, we went out and completed some research on their interests regarding horror trailers so that we can make our own horror trailer as effective as possible. We conducted research into our target audience in order for us to establish what aspects should be included in a horror trailer if we wanted it to be successful and create the right horror effect for the audience. We made questionnaires asking the target audience to establish certain things in horror trailers that frightened them or things they would expect to find in a horror trailer. From these questionnaires we based our main idea of the horror film trailer in order for out to be relevant to the target audience it is aimed at. 

Questionnaire results: 

Choosing a font for our title (Links between trailer and ancillary products) 
An important aspect within all of our media texts is the font of our film title. This is important as it links and  represents our film in all our different media texts. We researched different fonts on-line and finally came to a decision to use the font 'Misproject' from Photoshop as our title font in all our media texts. This text has then been represented to represent our trailer and storyline within all the the products we created, in order for all our advertising products such as the trailer, magazine cover and film poster to have clear links and representation.

Practice trailer 

Before starting to create our horror trailer, we made a short horror practice trailer, this is so we can learn techniques of filming and test out different techniques with the camera, in order for us to be confident when we are filming and creating our final horror trailer. Making this short trailer allowed us to start using the camera and editing software final cut confidently. 

Storyline and storyboard

Original Storyline

Amira, Lauran and Kieran are devastated when they find out they have lost one of their very close friends, Rio.  Rio is found dead in a river near an isolated house; police claim it was an accidedental death and look no further in to the case.  The friends in a state of grief also believe the death was accidental until the day of Rio’s funeral after his burial Lauran is approached by an agitated, ill looking older woman. This women claim that “Rio was murdered! It was not an accident”, she then hands Lauran a piece of paper with an address and tells her “This is all I can do, I have to go!” Lauran   goes back and tells her friends of the event   and is unsure of what to think, however Kieran believes there is more behind the old women’s accusations. Kieran, Lauran and Amira then go on to visit the address.  Once they arrive at the location, they begin to wonder if there is even any link between the old house and their friend.  Slowly, as they enter the address events show that the house is not safe and is rather scary and unusual.  Will they be able to solve the mystery or will they become part of it themselves?

                 

Updated storyline

Our story is going to begin with the funeral of a teenage boy named Rio.  Rio was a close friend of Amira, Lauran and Kiran.  After Rio’s burial, Lauran is approached by an old woman, which claims that “Rio’s death was not accidental, he was actually murdered”. Lauran is then handed a piece of paper with an address on it.  Lauran does not know what to think and therefore texts her friends telling them she must see them urgently. They then come meet her at her house and she tells them about this woman and her accusations.  Kieran tells them the only way they can find out is by going out to that house. A few days go by, and on that Friday they all set out to the house using a train as their form of travel.  Once they reach they cannot find any taxis or any form of transport and therefore have to walk a long journey. Once they reach the house, they see a huge unusual looking house. Once entering the house they all go looking around in separate rooms.  Lauren is walking around the house until she see’s an image of herself and her three friends with Rio’s face crossed out on the floor. She then fears herself and her friend’s lives and runs to find her friends and tell them "the old woman was right", and they have to get out of the place. The three friends then try and escape the house however they cannot get away from the murderers wrath and sadly after days of trying to escape both Amira and Kieran are killed.  Lauran however manages to escape however is so taunted by the experience that she is left ill and is in such an extreme condition that she must be taken care of at all times.
