As there are lots of different types of horror film I need to decide which type to make mine.
I like to watch psychological horror films ie. Ghosts and possession. So I think I'm going to do a psychological horror film trailer with a ghost/haunted house.
This will be fun to create but I think it could be difficult to create a ghost type creature as you can't actually see it so it will be hard for me to make the audience imagine that something is there. In big budget/ block-buster horror films special effects and high-tech editing are used to create scenes where you see the victims being dragged down the stairs or things being moved by something you can't see, but I don't have this technology, because of this I have chosen to base my plot on a victim who has been possessed by a ghost so that a physical person is doing the evil.
You've got an interesting concept and there's lots you can do with this! Choosing the option to go with possession allows you the chance to focus on physical aspects of horror rather than artificial editing. There a lot of ways to create a lot of tension for example - using lighting equipment and make up/costumes would do really well! I know there are a lot of tutorials on creepy makeup on youtube!
