This is a proposal me and my media partner came up with for our trailer, including the plot idea, editing, mise-en-scene, cinematography and sound

1. Proposal

2. Plot idea 1
 Group of friends coming back from a party, sat on a field.
 Taking pictures and messing around.
 They then walk on their way home.
 Find a farmhouse and look around and take pictures.
 Walk into the street. (fade)
 Wake up and ask what happened?
 Looking through pictures and see a ghostly figure “I’ve seen this before”.
 Begin to question and worry whether the ghost is still with them.
 They try to find out what it is.
 Strange things start to occur.
 One friend knows about the ghost and is worries but doesn’t say anything.
 Another character suffocates. (ghost / fear?)

3. Cinematography
 Start with an establishing shot. (field)
 Over the shoulder shots. (pictures)
 Tracking shot when they begin to walk.
 Medium shot when taking pictures at farmhouse.
