Further planning

What am i doing? I am going to make a movie trailer for a supernatural thriller/horror film. The story is about a woman (my sister) who is being haunted by child ghosts (my little cousins) and will be set in present time. The lead role will be played my sister who will play a young woman in her 20s. My cousins will play the ghosts. 2 of which will play 13-15 year old ghosts and my youngest cousin will play a 4 year old ghost.

My main goal for this trailer is to 1.Be scary and 2. Make people want to seeit.

Audience: I have decided the targeted audience for my movie trailer will be for people over the age of 16. It is a ghost horror film, so i think that it would appeal to a variety of ages, but would still consist of very frightening and haunting images which would be too scary for people younger than the age of 16. My aim is for it not to appeal to a certain demographic but rather just people who like to watch horror films and being scared.
