The dead friend – a teenage girl who was very vulnerable and sensible. The girl who strived to be popular but was very impressionable and high achieving. Her death happened june of 2011 when at a house party. When influenced to drink more than she was willing to she was left dead after drinking too much.

Setting – The first setting is one of the friend’s houses, where the girls are getting ready to go out. The main setting where the rest of the film is set is in a graveyard during the era of 2012 on a cold December evening.

Audience – The primary audience is aimed at teenagers and young adults around 15 – 25. We have chosen this primary audience as it will appeal to teenagers as they are watching actors around the same age and may base their actions by what they do. It also interests this audience as it is a horror and will scare the people watching it so they will get pleasure out of watching it.

The primary audience is aimed at parents. This will appeal to parents as they may be interested in what their children are watching and maybe to find out how teenagers their own children’s age are stereotyped in films.

Films similar existing films – The first film that is similar to our horror trailer is ‘Cabin in the Woods’, this is due to the similar character profiles and the concept of a group of teenage friends out together when strange things start to happen. The second film is ‘The exorcist’, we thought this is similar as possession is used as the main theme. The last film that is similar is ‘final destination 3’ as is again about a group of teenagers.
