MOVIE TRAILER

By: Natercia Faria

‘What if ghosts behaved like jealous

human beings?’

STORYLINE

A little girl called Lisa is playing at the park and finds a box.

This mysterious box contains a picture of a little girl called Cassandra

and a necklace, the same necklace as the one Lisa is wearing.

Cassandra, the mysterious spirit begins to follow Lisa everywhere

after that day. As she is eager to become Lisa’s best friend and her love

and care turns into hatred and obsession as Lisa tries her best to avoid

her.

The last scene of my movie trailer is the older sister, Sofia seeing

Cassandra for the first time. Will she be the second victim of the tragedy

or will Cassandra disappear as she reached her aim?

Name of characters:

Little girl– Lisa

Spirit of little girl- Cassandra

Little girl’s sister- Sofia

GENRE/TARGET AUDIENCE

The potential audience for my movie trailer will be aimed at

teenagers of 15+. This is because the people who are 15 and over are

more interested in the this type of genre. Also the fact that people

under the age of 15 may be effected negatively by the movie.

The genre of the movie trailer I will be making is horror of

demonic as the main character is being haunted by a demonic spirit.

SYNOPSIS

A young girl and her little sister are being haunted by a spirit due to

opening a mysterious box.

LENGTH

The length of my movie trailer will be short around 1 minute as this

way it will be more effective, I won’t have to show the whole story but

simply give a taste of what the movie is about. This will create

curiosity in the audience.

NARRATIVE THEORY

Barthes- as two of his five codes of intelligibility are ‘enigma’. These elements

relate to my trailer as the scenes shown will make the audience curious and make

them want to know what is going to happen next, they will be responding to the

enigma code. For example the last scene of my trailer is the older sister, Sofia seeing

the spirit Cassandra for the first time.

Todorov- the structure of disequilibrium also relates to my trailer, as the

beginning is peaceful then turns to the complete opposite as soon the little girl, Lisa

meets the spirit. The peaceful time being the first scene of my trailer where Lisa

finds the box with a lullaby song in the background.

LOCATION

The scenes will be shot in Hertfordshire in the following places

Garden

Park

House

I chose these places due to the fact that in most horror movies the

scenes are shot in similar places. Possibly because it is easier to create

a frightening and haunted atmosphere.
