Mind map of our ideas:

Title:
Capture! As the whole trailer is based around a Victorian photo being found by another family member generations down. We thought the name 'capture' linked in well with the idea of a photo.
Our idea:
After presenting our initial horror pitch to our class they helped us improve our ideas to make them more original and interesting. This idea is, a group of young girls who are friends go into a charity shop on an ordinary day which rapidly turns into something they could never imagine. Whilst rummaging through the shop they come across a Victorian photo with a picture of a lady who looks similar to one of the girls, Meg. To them this starts as a joke, and when Meg mentions buying the photo, they tell her not to. The three girls then go back to their shared house and find the photo hanging on the wall, even though they never brought it. This then starts a string of events, leading up to Meg going mad and the others trying to destroy the photo and help bring back there friend. It turns out that the lady in the photo is a old relative of Meg, who had a bad childhood as her parents abandoned her and treated her horribly. The lady then haunts everyone in her family from the following generation and Meg is the last one left. Meg's parents were killed unexplainably meaning Meg was adopted at a young age but she knew nothing about it until now. (TS, MP)

Meg is the main character in our horror trailer;
she is a young, attractive girl which is a good choice for the main character
in a horror trailer as the main audience of horror genre is men. (LM)
