Film pitch for our horror teaser trailer.

1. FILM PITCH

2. GENRE
We plan on creating a teaser trailer based on
the genre supernatural horror.
This means that our film will revolve around
supernatural beings, specifically ghosts
(antagonists) which will target the main
characters (protagonists) in our film.
It will last for a maximum of two minutes like
most conventional teaser trailers.

3. FILM TITLE
‘Occupied’
We have decided to call our supernatural horror
film ‘Occupied’ as it refers to the fact that there
is a ghostly being already occupying the house
when the family move in. This hints to the
audience what the narrative of the film might
be.

4. PLOT
This is a brief outline of the plot for our supernatural
horror:
A family; mum, dad and son, move into their new home,
unbeknownst to them that there is an evil force that
already occupies it.
The son befriends this evil force and calls him ‘Jake’.
Whilst his family believe that he is just an innocent
imaginary friend, it turns out that his true identity is a lot
more sinister.
As the son begins to talk more of this sinister ‘Jake’
character, blaming him on the unusual happenings in the
house, his family become more concerned and tells their
son to stop talking to him.
This conflict between the son, his parents, and this evil
supernatural being trying to control this child results in a

5. TARGET AUDIENCE
Conventionally, most supernatural horrors target a
young adult audience; 16-25 year olds.
To achieve this we will research into supernatural
horrors which aim at teenagers/young adults and look
into their conventions that we could include into our
trailer to attract our target audience.
Our film would have a 15 certificate like many
supernatural horrors, as the themes throughout the
film do not include excessive violence, blood and gore,
overtly sexual content etc.
