Narrative Of My Movie Trailer ( may be subject to change )

Main characters

  • Protagonist - "?" -The protagonist of my horror movie trailer is not conventional in the sense that she also happens to be the murderer of the victims that die in the movie. Carrie is one horror film where this is also the case, and I have used small influences from this although most ideas have been taken from other movies. Although this character is not a stereotypical protagonist the audience will still be manipulated into liking her at first, before her crimes are committed.
  • Antagonists-  In my horror film there will not be one specific antagonist but an entire group which are the students in the secondary school that are cruel towards the protagonist "?" 

Plot Summary For Movie Trailer
At the start of the trailer we are introduced to the school environment in which the main character "?" , attends as a year 11 student. "?" We are soon given evidence that she is struggling with fitting in, her dress sense has a gothic nature to it and this is one of the reasons she is a binary opposite to her antagonists. After a brief introduction of the school setting and a flash of the forest around the area, we see her walking down a crowded corridor, with an obvious look of discomfort on her face as she clutches her books close to her chest. Although this has obvious negative implications, the lighting will remain to be of a normal brightness so as to not alert the viewer of what is to come further along in the trailer. A few of her peers wander up behind her and suddenly jostle the books out of her hands, sneering at her and using slurs to intentionally mock her. Once they wander past we see her crouching to reach the books. The scene slowly fades out into the perspective of the peers that just mocked her as we see them laughing together.  In a conventional horror/mystery- hybrid movie trailer a lot of the scenes are mixed together in order to confuse the audience, so after this section has happened there will be a continuous video edited in throughout scenes of "?" adjusting a noose and hanging it up from a tree although her face wont be shown in these scenes so we are not aware of who is doing it until later on in the trailer. After this the trailer continues at the scene of a bonfire, where there are lots of noises of laughter and groups of people talking among themselves. "?" is currently shining around in the darkness with a torch whilst dragging a suspicious looking bag with the victim of one of the people that mocked her earlier on, she throws it onto the fire and does not raise suspicion due to it being a fifth of November celebration. The scene quickly changes to a teenage party where they are all gathered round a table playing a drinking game, although one of the characters does point out that their friend is missing, which the viewer will understand to be the person "?" has just murdered.----
