Grouping our ideas together seemed to be quite easy at first.
We decided we liked the idea of trick or treating on Halloween as this is known to be a frightening night, which would start to set the scene immediately, however we thought we would start our trailer with young children dressed up trick or treating. This would make the theme seem happy and fun and then frightening themes would be introduced later. The trailer would focus on one 16/17 year old girl and how she was home alone for the weekend as her parents had gone away. Her doorbell ringing at first would be different children knocking, and then would be the a strange man knocking repeatedly but this would develop into no one being there when it rings again. She would then realise that he has somehow got into her house. This was always an idea of our film as we wanted a hostage storyline to occur. The girl would then make a phone call to the police claiming there is someone inside her house.
Throughout the next part of the film there would be a chase between the strange man and the young girl, before he catches her and keeps her hostage inside her own home.
This idea relates back to my research as the phone call to the police is similar to the call, which I watched the trailer of. It also links to When a stranger calls, as this film plays with the idea that a stranger terrorises a girl with phone calls, before he makes his way into her house and attacks her. This is similar to our film, however we liked the idea of Halloween as we think this makes our film more original and individual and therefore this could have been our USP.
