Proposal

The main narrative of my film will be based around hauntings going on to a main teenage, female protagonist. I will begin the trailer with an equilibrium, two young girls playing and having fun. Suddenly something happens to one of the young girls, maybe she falls into a lake, or river and the other does not rescue her, and the young girl dies and that is all we know. I will use intertitles to show that time has passed. We then see the survivor of the two young girls now grown up in her teenage years, having no problem with the death of her best friend years ago. This is when the disequilibrium begins. I will try to present the girl being taunted by the ghostly figure of her best friend. It may have been 10 years since the little girl had gone missing, or been found dead and the topic gets brought about and the teenage girl is uncomfortable with this. I will exaggurate this through sound and mise-en-scene and the use of a black ans white wash on the shots when it comes to the editing of the footage. I will show the girl in different locations and situations being haunted by the young figure, who will still be dressed in the clothes she was in the day she was missing, but very pale and ghostly looking. She will be haunted at home in her own room first, maybe thinking it was a dream at first, seeing her best friend at the foot of the bed. Then on the way home from college, she spots the figure in the tree's and things graduallu build up and get worse, fast paced editing will help to create tension. I will use shots of the teenage girl screaming and show her distressed, not being able to tell anyone about the situation. The shots will have a shorter duration and faster editing towards the end of the trailer, using shots of the little girl appearing in the back of frames to make the audience jump. Not wanting to reveal too much to the audience the trailer could end there with the audience in a state of shock. I will use non-diegetic heightened sounds to compliment the on screen visuals and enhance the shock for the audience.
