When looking back at our previous horror trailer we felt we had tried to put too much information in, with introducing too many shots and introducing too many characters. This is not conventional for the horror genre, and we did not think our trailer was scary, we were happy with the music as it was eerie. However, there was no murder shown and this could be quite confusing. Also after feedback we found that the audience did not understand the storyline, this was a big issue as trailers should be simple and easy to understand however ours was too complex.
We still wanted to stick to the same stalking theme but we wanted to change the male character. We thought of realistic stalking instances in our initial ideas mind map, and found the theme love and relationship is usually a starting point in stalking. We wanted to keep the same vulnerable yet twisted antagonist Katie so we thought if the idea that her boyfriend split up with her and cheated on her therefore she seeks revenge and kills all the girls he has been seen with. In our trailer we do not want it to be obvious why Katie wants revenge and we want the audience to be active and think why might she be stalking Chris and why she kills the girl he is seen with. We want to leave the trailer on a cliff hanger so the audience want to watch the film and find out to what extent does Katie go off on a murdering rampage.
