2. FILM TITLE
We have decided on the film title Paranoia. The reason for this is
because the idea of the film would be easy to construct and it would
be easier to film the scenes for our trailer.
3. FILM TAGLINE
The tagline for our chosen film is “Revenge is sadistic pleasure”.
We chose this because Emile is sadistic and she feels like she owes it
to her friends to seek revenge on those that she is convinced killed
them.
4. SYNOPSIS
The main storyline for our film is
A young teenage girl called Emily who suffers from depression
due to body image issues, she gained from being a victim of bullying .
She also has a best friend called Sophie. One day Emily goes missing
and is found a few days later, dead. Emily’s spirit comes to possess
her best friend, Sophie, in order to seek revenge on those who
influenced her suicide.
6. TARGET AUDIENCE
Our target audience is teenagers because it would be easier for
them to relate to the characters in the trailer because they are
teenagers themselves.
7. SUB-GENRE
The sub-genre of our film is a slasher. We chose slasher because
we thought it would be easier to put the scenes together for our trailer
and film them also.
8. FILM INFLUENCES
The films that influenced our trailer are Scream and Psycho.
From Scream, we took the elements of the slasher, so people
getting chased and stabbed.
From psycho we took the psychological influence and added those
to our trailer.
10. PRODUCTION TEAM LOGO
Our production logo is called Spooky Studios.
We decided that we wanted blood dripping from the logo and
when it shows it would come up as ‘Spooky’ sliding in and ‘Studios’
comes in really quickly underneath ‘Spooky’. We wanted to have a
knife cutting sound to show the audience that the film they are
watching is a slasher film.

12. TODOROV THEORY
Tordoruvs narrative theory states that most story or plots lines follow the same pattern or
path. There are 5 steps to this pattern:
Equilibrium – the first part will display a happy start where the majority of the characters are
content and everything is as it should be.
Disruption – the second part of the story, this will include a problem or something will
disrupt the happiness.
Realization – this part of the plot is when everyone realises the problem and it’s chaos.
Restored order – this part of the plot is when they try to repair the damage that has been
made.
Equilibrium again – this the final part of the plot where the problem is solved normally
resume everyone is free.
