Location
I have decided to set the location of my trailer in school as this would be most appropriate because my film is set in the scene of a school. This would also be more convenient for casting students(preferably in the 6th form) and filming after school in addition. The reason I chose to film in this area is because this is near the scene of the sixth form common room, a secluded corner of the film. This will keep up the deliberate fear of the unknown when in a blackout cut off in a corner of the school. the filming will be indoors at all times to keep up the unique selling point of the character being trapped throughout in the dark. Preferably, I would like to direct scenes for my trailer with my chosen actor/s after school as it would be best for convenience. Also, the winter term and early spring term will get quite dark after school, and this natural darkness will accelerate the scare factor for my trailer as the premise of the trailer is the protagonist and supporting actor/s are trapped in the dark.
Actors
The actor/s will be members of the CoLA Sixth Form. Preferably, a group of friends that would be willing to take their time out of their peer hours to take camera shots with me and let me direct them.

Costume
As the setting is part of a sixth form in school, the protagonist will be dressed as themselves and there won't be a distinct form of dress.This will appeal to the audience as
they can familiarise themselves with the characters in the trailer. It is important the characters don't overdress as I am trying to emphasise the characters in the trailer as everyday characters.Particularly, the antagonist in the trailer will be wearing a dark hood jacket to distinguish him from the rest of the protagonists as well as to maintain the sinister factor by not exposing his face, a typical generic conventions of protagonist in horror trailers. Examples in popular horror fiction is the Leatherface antagonist in Texas Chain Massacre Movies as well as Jason Voorhees central character in the Friday the 13th Movies.
