trailer ideas
We initially began our trailer with the idea of a possessed child who terrorises her family. however, after a group discussion we decided that this idea was a little too cliche. in order to be different from the to her groups we then decided that we were going to base our trailer on a story of a boy who has a traumatic experience with his father in an awful collision which results in his fathers death and has haunted the little boy ever since, it has also has a major impact on the way Jacksons life and how he approaches people. His anger and post traumatic stress causes him to kill people and lash out on people and eventually hurt him mother.
Due to the fact that our original pitch was a bit of a cliche we decided to change it to something more original that nobody has done before. We changed our sub-genre to Voodoo as this was different. It involves a girl who 'cheats' death so in order to not go to hell she becomes his slave instead. She kills people who have sinned. A different girl is walking her dog in the woods and because dogs are more susceptible to connections with spirits he runs away because he feels a presence. The girl tries to find it and on her search she comes across two dead bodies; ones that death's slave has killed with voodoo dolls. The girls that finds them then goes onto death's hit list and therefore the slave plays tricks on her before trying to kill her. The slave feels as though she needs to be tortured before death because the slave is evil, cunning and taking advantage of her voodoo powers.
