Ideas

After researching other horror teaser trailers, posters and websites along with the results from my questionnaire I have decided to create a horror teaser trailer advertising a teen/slasher horror.

Initial Idea
My initial idea is to create my trailer with the basic storyline of a couple of girls having a sleepover that know a girl from school that has recently killed herself due to them bulling her and she comes back and seeks revenge by killing them off one by one.

Possible Filming Locations
I have a few possible locations that I could film my trailer at. These locations consist of:

• A Grave Yard - Because it can be very creepy at night.
• My Grandparents House - As it is quite remote and is a nice size to be filming in.
• My Grandparents Garage - This would be prefect for any torture or killing scenes
• Outside My Grandparents House - For when my victims are running away from there killer.
• At Ashridge - This too can become very creepy at night which is great for my horror trailer.
• At Blows Downs - This can be fairly remote and is surrounded by trees and fields.
• Priory Church/Wingrave Church - Both these churches would be perfect as they are both relatively scary at night.

Possible Props
Given the genre of my trailer I have some possible props in mind that I could use:

• A Trick Fold-In Knife - This can be used for when my killer is stabbing the victims as it will look like the knife is going into there bodies.
• Long Blood Covered Plastic Machete - This can be used as yet another murder weapon.
• White Contacts - For my killers costume in order to make her look ghostly and scary.
• Yellow Number Cards - To help create the feel of a murder scene.
• White Masking Tape - To outline the dead body.
• A Blue Flashing Light - To flash outside to make it look like the police is outside.
• A Bath - For one of the victims to drown in.
• Rope - To tie up on of the victims.
• A Chair - What one of the victims will be tied into.
• Fake Blood - To create stab wounds.
• Blood Capsules - To be used when blood is to come out of the victims mouths.
• A Real Knife - For when i need the knife to look more realistic.

Possible Characters
From my initial idea I have some ideas for possible characters:

• The Killer - Which will be the girl that comes back to kill those who tormented her.
• The Victims - Possibly four victims, all girls. One will be the bitchy one that was the main culprit for bullying the killer and she will be the last to die in the garage. The others will die in the bath tub, in the dinning room and outside the house.
• A Detective - Who will be seen towards the beginning of the trailer looking over the dead bodies.

Possible Character Names and Costumes
Possible names and costumes consist of:

• (For the Killer) Bloody Mary, Amanda or she will not have a name. I would like her to be dressed in white flowing clothing in order to make her look ghostly, that will be covered in blood at some point in the trailer. Her throat will be slit so fake blood will be needed and I would like her to be wearing white contacts to make her look creepy.
• (For the Victims) Although their names wont be mentioned much I have some possible names for them and they are, Trisha, Kate, Alison, Nadi, Amber and possibly Sarah. They can be wearing normal everyday clothes or possibly pyjamas as they are at a sleepover.
• (For the Detective) The detective does not need a name but will be in a black suit in order to look like a detective. 

Possible Film Names
Below I have a list of possible names for my horror trailer which i have asked a few people to vote on which one they prefer. The results are also below.

• Bloody Mary - 7
• Revenge - 3
• Never Forgot - 2
• Justice - 6
• The Sleepover - 6

Judging from the results I will be calling my horror trailer Bloody Mary, therefore my killer will be called Bloody Mary.

Possible Text Fonts

The possible text fonts above are a mixture of fonts that are copyright free that i have downloaded from www.dafont.com, however the font at the very top is my own font that i created using fake blood and have taken a photo of and removed the background. 

Out of the fonts above I sent out a little survey asking people which font they liked the best and thought would suit my horror teaser trailer best with the sub genre of a teen-slasher. From the results the top font (also the font i created myself) got 4 votes out of 20, the second font in the row of fonts above recieved 7 votes out of 20, the font thrid in the row got 6 votes out of 20 and lastly the bottom font in the row only recieved 3. Due to these results I will using the font below in both my movie trailer along with my 2 ancillary task (my website and poster).
