Proposal for a Horror Film Trailer The proposal is a document that is designed to sell the idea a director and a producer has for the program/film/radio show. The proposal should be detailed and include all visual and audible elements of the film. Name of the Film Trailer Touch and Go Release date details Summer 2019 Length of film trailer Two minutes Target Audience. Who will this film trailer attract to watch? (Age, Gender, Life Style?) The target audience I am aiming to interest is going to be aged around the University age, somewhere aged from 18- 22. I have chosen this target audience because I feel like this age group are going to be more willing to watch different things that younger audiences might not be able to watch or understand more complex storylines. Concept Idea (Main Theme) Overview of what will happen in your horror film trailer. Storyline. My concept idea for this horror trailer is a game of tag, there would be multiple people playing tag in forests and fields. If you get tagged you get possessed and you begin to kill other people becoming possessed would make people insane and their loved ones or other people would have to kill them. Reoccurring Themes. Explain how the trailer makes the audience aware that it is a horror film trailer? People will know it’s a horror film trailer because of the music and visual aspects. There will be lots of dark scenes in the trailer and the main colours won’t be bright but very dark colours. The music I include will convey the tensions and the anxiety throughout the trailer. Location. Where are you planning on filming your trailer? Give details of location? I am planning on filming this in the woods near my house and in the fields by the Stourbridge canal. Resources needed. What kind of things will you need to create your horror film trailer? (Camera? Costumes?) I will need a camera and a tripod, I will need actors to star in my trailer and I will need the batteries and the SD cards to contain the videos and the batteries to charge the camera. Time (How long for production and editing) I will have five months to produce and edit my content.

EXISTING & ADDITIONAL CONTROLS TO MANAGE RISKS.Explain below for each of the risks how you are going to make sure they do not become an issue for you when filming.

Final risk level is acceptable?

1 Restricted or blocked access. When filming I am going to ensure that I don’t film in any restricted areas because I don’t want to put any of my cast or crew in danger in case there is any broken glass or other sharp objects.

Yes

3Animal/ insects I will make sure that we don’t go at a ridiculous time so that if there is any animals or insects which could inflict pain when

receiving attention that we don’t encounter those animals or insects. Yes

8Derelict buildings or structures When being around derelict buildings or structures I will make sure that there is no way anyone could get hurt by unsteady

bricks or other parts of the buildings and If possible I will try to avoid the derelict buildings or structures. Yes

20Cold or extreme weather Whilst there isn’t much I could do to avoid the weather I would bring umbrellas if it were forecasted to rain and I would bring

other supplies depending on the weather forecasted. Yes

31Recording or shooting outside of the studio. When I am recording outside of the studio location I will make sure that everyone knows we will be shooting outside of the

studio and then hopefully there will be less casualties than there would’ve been if I hadn't told them Yes
