Proposal of ideas

My trailer will be of the horror genre, it will contain some text to fill in the audience a bit about the story as the actually trailer will not contain much dialogue. I will be using a hand-held camera to film my trailer and it will be in the style of a documentary.

My trailer will start off at a party and you will see that it is one of the characters 18th birthday so that is why he is filming, the group are talking about going out camping into the woods later that night because of the occasion.

Now the camera switches to an older character who looks spooked and talks about something that happened in the woods a long time ago, they talk about how there was a series of murders but nobody was caught and how they think the killer is still alive and just as sinister.

You then see a shot of the characters with large bags on there back joking on and going into the woods, suddenly a large high pitched scream is heard in the distance, they look slightly confused but not fazed and after a quick turn of heads they keep heading inwards.

You can now see its getting visibly dark.

The next couple of shots are of a dark hooded figure with a large weapon, the figure stands out in the shot but is covered in darkness, a couple of these shots are quickly switched back and forth between the figure and the group unaware of his presence.

A snapped twig is heard and the group look in that direction and a shot is shown from the direction looking at the group with the figure on the other side, the group is still unaware.

One of the group receives a phone call from their mother telling them that there has been a murder of a girl they know on the edge of town.

The group look worried as they know the woods stretch all around the town, but they decide to do nothing about as they don't want to ruin the celebration.

More shots are seen of the figure and as one member of the group decides to go to the toilet this is when the figure strikes and you hear the character muffed scream slightly, time passes and the group gets worried, they wander into the woods shouting his name until they find a pool of blood.

They all look worried and scared and hurry back to the centre only to find all of there stuff is gone.

One thing leads to another and you hear a scream and then the characters start shouting and running so the camera shot is blurred and you don't see much.

Eventually the camera is dropped and the character hits the mat, and then slowly the shouting stops.

The last shot is of the figure picking up the camera and you hear its heavy breathing on the sound.
