The document outlines a marketing campaign for a horror film teaser trailer. It will feature three students who experience supernatural events after moving into a haunted university accommodation. The teaser trailer aims to be similar to Paranormal Activity by only showing glimpses of the supernatural events. The target audience is 15-24 year olds. The production company is Paramount Pictures and the budget is £10,000 for filming and £20,000 for marketing. The branding will use red, white, and black colors displayed on posters and billboards at public transportation stations to target the young adult demographic.
3. FILM EXAMPLES Paranormal activity was a low budget film, with the use of super natural events all happening in a haunted house of a family. But only showing snippets of bits in the teaser so u get the idea of the film. We will use these ideas but revise some ideas to our own. (e.g: Uni accommodation) Grave encounters was not as big a paranormal activity at box office, however has the same type of concept of super natural/ghostly events happening but in a hospital. Both of these examples try there best to make the horror film seem real so people believe it, and watch it with great interest. These examples of horror are going to be similar to our teaser trailer because we are going to have ‘paranormal activities’ and are going to base it on that type of film. This is where you have a protagonist but you don’t actually see them.

They move into there new accommodation, However they are unaware that the house is haunted and then begin to experience super natural events that begin to freak them out, and it gets worse and worse the longer they stay there ad there is no escape.
