1. THE PITCH

2. GENRE: HORROR

Horror films are designed to create strong emotions
such as fear and dread from the audience. I’m very
familiar with this feeling and I have watched many
horror films over the years. Therefore I have
chosen this genre for my project which is to create
a film trailer and by incorporating my horror film
knowledge so I would know the codes and
connotations of a horror film.

3. SUB GENRE

The sub genre I have associated my film trailer with
is slasher horror. Many of the elements slasher
horror includes such as the final girl will be included
in my film trailer.

4. NARRATIVE
Equilibrium-8 year's ago Sidney and Charles Wells
were murdered by an unknown killer, who has been
stalking nine year old Skye Wells now 8 years later

 Disequilibrium-The main protagonist learns from a
close friend of hers that he has escaped and she is
then paranoid and she believes that she is being
followed by him.

dramatically changes. Skye killed parents due to
her mental issues. She ends up in a mental hospital
