Marketing my own movie "Secluded"

For my own movie story board trailer idea I have decided that I am going to do a horror/ thriller movie.

The movie that I am going to be directing is called Secluded.

The synopsis of my movie:

The movie is about Aaron Walter( Cillian Murphy) who’s aged in his early 20s and he’s at college studying psychology, he’s one of those unpopular students who people don't really talk too but that doesn't bother him as he enjoys his own company.  One day whilst at the canteen a nice, young and attractive girl named Sienna (Jennifer Lawrence)who  is in his class decided to randomly ask him if he’s got spare change to lend her as she was short whilst buying a drink, he gave her the change and she thanked him and smiled at him. 

From that day she had started to see him around and recognised him and she even began to speak to him, she classed him now as a mate. He really adored her company and she liked his company too and since the days went by they spoke more and more Aaron started to realise that he likes her and is very fond of her as a person but as time went on they always seemed to be bumping into each other very too often, but Sienna however not knowing that this guy who she now randomly encountered with spontaneously has grown an unhealthy obsession with her.

Name of the movie: Secluded

Actor: Cillian Murphy (Aaron Walter) 

Actress: Jennifer Lawrence (Sienna)

The reason for why I feel these actors will work well in my movie is because they are both very well known actors. 

We all know Cillian Murphy as he has been in the hit TV series Peaky Blinders and because of that, he has now become quite popular. I feel Cillian is a great actor to star in my film because I have seen not only Peaky Blinder but lot of his previous films he has starred in. A movie which sticks out to me most is the film called Red Eye which is a thriller. In that movie I feel he played his character so well and he gave off such a sneaky, strange and mysterious character and that's what exactly I need for my film, therefore that's the reason I feel that he could be the only actor in my movie as he'd give the nice effect on the audience of being a bit strange. 

Jennifer Lawrence is my main female lead in my movie Secluded. I have chosen her because she is such a great actress as she has such an an amazing job in the Hunger Games films. She has also played a great role in a movie which is thoroughly enjoyed watching which is called 
'The House At The End of The Street', that movie as well is a thriller and I think the character she played was great and very believable. The way she was in that movie is how I see her playing the role of Sienna in my movie.

Target audience for my horror thriller movie:

After doing some research on movies and there genres I have concluded that the average usual age for thrillers are 15+ but for horrors it's 18+. For my movie which is a horror/ thriller suspense I’m going to target the audience for the ages 15+. I think this is great as my characters in the movie are quite young and therefore the viewers who watch this will be around the same age and this will then make them feel a part of the movie as the thoughts and feelings that go through them characters could be the same as the ones of the audience. 
The fact that I have based the movie  around and in college shows that college students will be a great audience for this movie which are ages 15+ and I feel as they will be strongly connected with the characters in the movie as they could possibly be like them or they might know people like them. The idea of starting a new phase of their life is a big element and this movie will show the atmosphere of a college and how it’s so different to school it'll give them a good insight to the new life and they'll feel a definite close connection.

In terms of the gender of the horror/thriller movies males are most likely to be a fan of horror movies then women but this is due to just stereotypical views. 
I feel that generally horror and thriller is associated both with males and females because the viewers are always quite varied and It just depends on the movie itself to whether it interests a person or not.

Poster for my movie

My movie poster will have an image in the centre of someone wearing a hoody and there eyes are covered and the background is black and blurred out this is because the person wearing the hoodie will be hidden and i want this effect because i don't want the face to be actually shown to the audience as this will keep a great suspense to the audience as they'll be in thought thinking who is that person is what's the reason for why they are covering there face. I want the background to be blurred and black and this is because i want the main focus to be on the image itself and that will be the person who is wearing the hoody. All you will be seeing is the bottom of the persons face and hat will be just the chin and the lips of the person and this is because it keeps it intriguing to look at, the face of the person will have  smirk and I like the idea of that as it seems quite scary, frightening and a bit condescending and that's great because I want to capture the effect to the audience as it is a thriller horror movie. The camera angle will be straight on view showing us the view of what is in front of us. 

This is the image of how my poster will be like with the title secluded written in white underneath his chin. 

The title of the movie will be written in the font called 'Herculanum' and this is because I think it's a great font which goes really well with my genre of my film as it's a thriller, because the writing is quite thin and long as well as quite bold its nice as it gives a sort of mysterious eerie effect to the title and it looks good written.

This is how the title will look on the poster and it will be written in the size of 80 and in the colour white, this is to give a monochrome effect as I just want the poster to be black and white. 

I think generally just by looking at the image we can tell already the genre of the film because it already just seem like a thriller anyway.
