Our First Pitch
The pitch for our teaser trailer is based around the growing trend of fairy tale horrors such as Red Riding Hood (2011) and Rumpletilskin (1995). One of our inspirations is also the TV series Grimm (2011) which is a series based upon fairty tale creatures such as werewolves.

We have chosen to base our teaser trailer around the classic children's tale 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin'.
Based around the Pied Piper of Hamelin our trailer shows consequences of what happens after the Piper returns to the village years after he lured young children to their deaths by drowning them. He, again, sets out to slaughter innocent children, as was in the original story, after his untimely death.

The teaser trailer will use mostly shadows to convey the story being told. Then, during the post edit stage, sounds and effects will be layered on to help create the right atmosphere and story.
We decided to use this because it is a unique and original idea and seeing as there have been many new releases in the industry based upon fairytales. Therefore, we feel this will be an idea that the public wil be very interested in and in turn pay to watch.
We believe the film will make money because the mystery and suspense will drive the audience to watch our film. We think this will happen because our teaser trailer breaks the conventions of fairytale ideology.
The teaser trailer will be filmed using four different locations. Our first location will be near a river as we feel this will add a sinister feel to our trailer. Furthermore we will use an old family house where the Pied Piper will 'take' his victims from. The third location we have picked is the woods because we feel its openness will heighten the audiences senses. Finally we will film in a graveyard as this will not only suggest the death element of the film but will also create an unnerving atmosphere.
Although our final casting choices have not been made we will be using children of both sexes as victims and a male for the killer, though we will never see him.
We decided our target audience would be 18-25. We had to make our product an aged 18 rating due to graphic content, the killing of children.
As a group we decided that the trailer would need a central figure who can hear the Pied Pipers music, as they are a distant relative of those killed previously. This character would be a parental figure who notices the children going missing.
