This week we had to finalise our ideas for our movie trailer, as we had to pitch this to Mr Goddard and our media class. Jamaila, Kiran, Nikita, Simran and I had to stand in front of the class to explain the genre of our trailer and where, who, what and how it will be done. The Genre of our movie will be Gothic horror with elements of difference sub-genres of horror like psychological/supernatural/thriller. The plot revolves around the story of Lilith (a demonic figure) that takes women's souls. The plot develops as his next target is Malia (played by Aman) who throughout the film experiences hallucinations and nightmares of Lilith and is finally lured into his hell of lost souls with the help of Salem witches. We have scouted 2/3 locations, in Richmond and Feltham. We are aiming to film this towards the end of summer due to the days getting shorter.
Characteristics:
Lilith-Demon (taker of souls), it is said that Lilith's mother was overprotective of him and so he never got to experience what it was like to love a woman. He killed himself and now fulfils his desires by sacrificing women's souls.

Once we pitched our idea we got feedback from the class, one was from Mr Goddard himself asking why we had set our movie in the 1980. He had asked this as it would be hard to create a background setting to fit the time period we want the trailer to be in. This comment was very helpful and useful to us as a group and we decided to take it on board as setting our trailer in the 1980's time period would be hard to carry out. We are still deciding where we would shoot our trailer, we are finding it difficult to find a scary looking location but sir reminded us that we are living in the UK's capital and we have various amount of options.
