When writing out trailer synopsis we had to take cautions, this was so that we didn't give away to much of the trailer yet we had to make it sounds really good, here is what we came up with together;
15 years has passed to the day, and the case of the missing boy still remains unsolved. After last minute arrangements a group of friends embark on an camping adventure on the farm where the missing boy was last seen. Will the killer strike again or will they return home safe?

Production Company Name
When trying to decide what to name my Production Company I had to think of a name that was relevant to a horror movie, for example 'Haunted Movies' made the film insidious. This means I had to think of a spooky yet professional name for my production company.
To do this I wrote down a list of words that came to my head when trying to think of a name; as shown below is a list of the first few words that came to my head.
- Dark
- Light
- Spooky
- Loft
- Attic
- Match
- Noise
The list goes on....
I started putting words together such as 'Match' and 'Light', but this didn't sound that good and I wanted a better name than this. I carried on thinking then I thought of 'Loft & Light', I instantly thought that 'LoftLight' was the best name for my production company straight away and I think it would go great with my horror trailer that I am creating.
Ideas of LoftLight Production Logo:
I decided I could hold my camera in a pitch black empty loft/attic where you not be able to see anything on the camera other than a black screen. I could then light a match in the loft about a metre away from the camera, as it is only a match the loft will be JUST visible in the background. So, when the match is lit, my production name 'LOFTLIGHT PRODUCTION' will appear on the screen in front of the match. After a second of this being shown it will then all fade to black off the screen.
I feel that this is a very good idea as it can be done as it is very simple to do.

Mood Board On The Horror Genre
Shown above is my mood board for the horror genre. When trying to think of ideas for my trailer, these movie images inspire me to think deeply into finding new and terrifying ideas to use in my trailer. For example, I could use a quick cut of my main protagonist in my trailer, with a 'monster' behind him/her. This would be very effective and I could also use it for a poster to advertise my trailer.
