2. Hello, we have devised this power point for some feedback
and help from our target audience in terms of our A2 thriller
teaser trailer. Our idea is of both the natural disaster and
psychological thriller sub-genre. The main plot is that some
form of disaster occurs in a small town. Resulting in a women
being left all alone. The disaster aspect will be made clear
through a radio broadcast playing in the background, shots of
a family running trying to escape and scenes of desertion.
The psychological element comes from the women we
witness cooking in the kitchen. We see her cooking for which
seems to be a large amount of people, elements of OCD are
shown through her obsessive cleanliness of utensils and her
hands. We also see elements of organisation, everything
perfectly lined. The end of the trailer shows that the women
has in fact cooked a large meal but for only herself, yet she
has served up numerous portions. The disaster has resulted n
her family being taken from her leading to a mental state of
mind, imagining her family are still present.

3. The title of our trailer is still a working progress. We are still unsure and undecided as
to which one we should go for. So we have created a list of possible titles. It would be
very helpful if you could select which one you feel is most appropriate and catchy:
• End of days
• _______ road (unsure of which name)
• The stand
• The town
• The village
• When time run out
• The silent town
• Perfect silence
• The day after
• When time stood still
