Target audience: Teenagers and young adults.
Demographic audience: Skilled manual workers to the unemployed; builders, plumbers, students and casual workers etc.
Psychogrpahic audience: "Explorers and strugglers".

Narrative of film: A teenage girl is being bullied consistantly for being an individual; she lacks social skills in order to do well in school, believing that making friends would be a interruption and a threat to her life. However, the bullying gets worse and decides to release the stress by writing her problems out on paper. She soon discovers a supernatural power of controlling and moving objects around her (telekinesis). She gets obssessed with this power through practice and then begins to write a list of names she wants revenge on. One by one, mysterious disasters happen to each individual but makes the mistake of wishing death on her own mother; her only friend. This leads her to want rid of the power and makes her very ill. At thsi time, she is still writing down her problems. One day, one of the bullies discovers her power. Telekinesis is announced and suddenly everyone is amazed by her and wants to be friends. Sally Jane discovers the truth and it sends her to an early grave - she commtis suicide.
Teaser trailer idea:
Long shot, walking through bright empty school corridoors with an irritating scratching sound through out the shot. Although many cuts through it, the whole shot will last between 10 and 2o seconds.
The next shots will be focussing on the girl in a dark room, scratching names into a class room. Shots will be taken from various positions, showing the action from different directions.
The last shot will be an extreme close up of the title (scrathed into the table) with the certificate and the company name. This will be presented along with a loud bang, silencing the previous sound effects and ending the trailer.

Feedback:
George - "I liked your idea of the way your title will be repsented at the end of the trailer".
Mr Marcus - he edited our idea of just having the scratching sound effect in the room where it was happening. He believed it would work as a continuous irritating sound throughout the trailer, only quiter.
Joy - "I like the narrative, the idea of the child being bullied and discovering supernatural powers, it works with a typical horror, you can recgonise the genre straight away".
