ThemeOur horror film’s theme is going to be ‘paranormal activity’. This means the horror and shock in the trailer will mainly be supplied by the appearance of supernatural events.All the deaths are linked, adds a mysterious element, along with shock factor, to make people want to watch the whole trailer.

Narrative

The trailer starts by revealing a dead body inside an abandoned house. The camera goes inside through the house. The rest of the trailer is then a flashback to 3 teenagers who decide to explore the house. As the trailer goes on, more and more of the characters experience various supernatural events, resulting in two of them being killed off. The last character is all that remains, but is ultimately killed off as well, and is then revealed to be the dead body from the start of the trailer.
