Planning - Choosing an Idea

After receiving feedback based on my three pitches, I have decided to combine aspects of my first idea and second idea for my final film trailer. This will allow me to create a successful horror/thriller film trailer.

Aspects included from Idea 1:

• One aspect that I will use based on my first initial idea will be the continuous chase scene used throughout in which I will cut to flashbacks of the events that took place beforehand (building up to the chase scene). The chase scene will build suspense within the audience as well as conform to horror/ thriller trailer conventions. 
• Non diegetic sound of the protagonist breathing heavily will be used over all footage in the trailer, implying that she is panicking. This could work well with a soundtrack where the music's volume and intensity rises, building up tension and suspense within the audience.

Aspects included from Idea 2:

• The protagonists character will be a young female. This is a typical convention used in horror/thriller films as women are stereotypically seen as the victim. 
• The girl will have been stalked by the antagonist, and then chased. The antagonist stealing the girls identity would be an effective narrative as this would be unexpected by the audience, and would intrigue them to want to find out why this has happened.
