4. Our teaser trailer will last around 1 minute –
typical of most teaser trailers to be short in
length in order to create hype and excitement for
the film.
We aim to film around 30 minutes of footage
which will give us enough footage to be able to
cut down and edit when producing our teaser
trailer.
5. USP
In order to make our film different from most
other horror films, we are considering to
incorporate the following features in order to
create the film’s USP:
The use of a ordinary average household and
family – relatable to our viewers (target
audience) and prime location.
Using real home videos to make it realistic
Sub genre of supernatural.
6. Similar Horror Front
Covers/posters.
These film posters would be similar to our horror film as each of them show a young child as
the main protagonist. The Paranormal Activity 4 poster used a handheld camera for the main
image, which is what we plan to do throughout the film. The Orphan and The Grudge main
protagonist is using direct address, which attracts the audience and makes it look more scary
and is what our group are planning to use for our front cover.
7. Similar horror front
covers/posters.
These front covers/posters are similar to what our groups will be like as on The Blair Witch
Project they used a handheld camera for the main image which our group will be using
throughout our trailer. Case 39 and The Others both have similar front covers, the main
protagonists face is lit up by a light and both their facial expressions are nervous like they’re
expecting something to happen.
