THE PITCH

GENRE: HORROR

Horror films are designed to create strong emotions

such as fear and dread from the audience. I’m very

familiar with this feeling and I have watched many

horror films over the years. Therefore I have

chosen this genre for my project which is to create

a film trailer and by incorporating my horror film

knowledge so I would know the codes and

connotations of a horror film.

SUB GENRE

The sub genre I have associated my film trailer with

is slasher horror. Many of the elements slasher

horror includes such as the final girl will be included

in my film trailer.

NARRATIVE

Equilibrium-8 year's ago Sidney and Charles Wells were murdered by an unknown killer, who has been stalking nine year old Skye Wells now 8 years later the unknown killer has escaped from jail.

Disequilibrium-The main protagonist learns from a close friend of hers that he has escaped and she is then paranoid and she believes that she is being followed by him.

New Equilibrium- This is when everything dramatically changes. Skye killed parents due to her mental issues. She ends up in a mental hospital and she imagines this whole situation.

CAMERA SHOTS AND USE

Establishing Shot- the beginning of the film trailer will show an

establishing shot of the main protagonist's home for the audience to

relate to the character.

Close Up’s- to show the characters facial expressions. I will be

using a variety of close up shots.

Two Shot- used in the cafe scene which is where two people are in

the shot.

Long shot- of the running scene and is used to show the

surroundings.

Medium Shot- to show the dead body.

A variety of other shots will be used in my film trailer, but these are

the main ones I’m focusing on
