Subverting

For our film trailer we have decided to go with a thriller genre. Although we are going with the genre of thriller, we are also going to combine it with a sub-genre physiological. We will subvert our trailer by following the Antagonist rather than the protagonist throughout the trailer. Films such as Batman always follow the hero, in this case we came up with the idea of following the villain as you don't see the joker in the batman film as much as the hero.

Another unique idea to subvert our trailer is that the main character will be a young girl, this is unique and not often seen in films or trailers which is another idea of how we will subvert our trailer.

The story line of our trailer will be about a young girl who doesn't lead a happy life, her parents are very strict and sometimes mean to her of which her life is miserable. The young girl is sent to the attic to go and get something but stumbles across an old radio which catches her attention. Playing around with the radio she comes across and radio station of an old man speaking, the old man is speaking about depression and leading a hard life of which he asks people to phone up and offer help or talk about people’s problems. The young girl rings the radio station up and start to talk to the man she heard on the radio, she starts to talk about her problems at home, after talking to the man on the radio station for a long period of time she becomes to feel better about herself. Although the girl doesn't have many friends, she feels like this man she is talking to is her only friend and is talking to him every day. Her parents, especially her mom notices something different about her daughter. The young girl will not communicate with anyone and is aggressive, her mom is worried and starts to think what is wrong with her. She notices that her daughter has an old radio and is on the phone more often than usual, her mom demands to give her the phone, after a lot of commotion to get the phone off her daughter she finally gets the phone off her and speaks to the person on the phone but fins that no one is on the other end. Her mom asks her who it was but no answer from her daughter. The mom starts to think of why she has this strange behaviour, her mom decides to put her attention to the radio, the mom takes it down stairs away from her daughter without her realizing, she tries to find the radio station that her daughter has been listening to. After great effort she finds the same voice of the man on the radio station and research the address of the radio station. Her mom goes out the next day to find that the address is an abandoned building on its own. Where is the radio station? Who is this man on the radio station? Could all this be inside her daughters head?
