Iconic Imagery in Trailers

Task - In your groups, decide on a rough narrative thread for your trailer. Once this is in place, discuss and draw up 5 iconic images you would like to include in your trailer. These images will need to be appropriate to the sub-genre of your film and linked in some way to your proposed plot - however, do not let this limit you! Below are some suggestions for how you might set out your work:

EXAMPLE: Evil Dead (2013)

Narrative: Exterior shows a secluded cabin in the woods. A girl is sat on the floor and asks for help to get out. The trailer cuts to a man reading a book with demonic images and warnings not to read. The girl in the cabin says there was something in the wood and we see her being chased and caught by gnarled branches. She says that there was something in the wood that is in the cabin with her now and the trailer cuts to various people seemingly possessed by this thing. The trailer cuts to people screaming in terror, possessed people doing bad things and an explosion. A child like rhyme is spoken at the end and a girl is dragged into a trapdoor.
