Horror Trailer Film Pitch

1. Horror Trailer Pitch
By Emma Matthew and Chris Smith

4. Synopsis
A horror film is being made by professional film crew.
The location is not desirable for director.
The location tester is killed when he goes off to find a new
location with a handheld camera.
Something within the woods is killing the film crew and cast
one by one.
There are 3 hunters within the woods who have lived there
for years killing the people because believe it’s a game. It is
how they have been raised.

5. Location
We have come up with two locations that will fit in with our plot when we
film they’ll be darker in the trailer. The first one is Cheshunt Park which is
covered in woods and we could create a very isolated surrounding effect.
The next location is Cedars Park in which has some parts of woods but
also has a lake running through which we could use to make a more
haunting.

7. Camera Angles/Techniques
Within our horror trailer we
have to convey many
techniques to make sure we
do not have to show that is
killing our characters.
We will mostly used close ups
to get horrifying facial
expressions across.
Also because the woods is a
massive space we have to
use many different camera
angles so our trailer looks as
though there is no escape for
the characters creating panic
in our target audience.

8. Unique Selling Point
Our horror film will stand out from existing
horror films because the plot is unique. Our
plot is about a horror movie being made which
turns into a real horror when they’re being
killed by the hunters who have lived in the
woods for years and have been taught to
believe it’s all just game. Our plot is dark and
scary and will snap our target audience back
into reality. The twisted hunters will make the
audience question nature verse nurture.
Our other unique selling
point is the first 20 people
to buy tickets to watch the
film get free tickets to
Fright Night at Thorpe
Park.

10. New Line Cinema- House of
Horrors
House of Horrors is the licensing division
for new Line Cinema.
They have created such films as A
Nightmare on Elm Street which is a massive
success.
As well as Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw
Massacre and The Conjuring. These are all
well known horror films.
This shows that our horror film could reach
this potential supported by House of
Horrors.
