The main characters in my trailer include the film protagonist (a female), the bartender (a male) and an evil presence (either human or spiritual). Other people in the trailer will include the extras which will play the part of other previous victims. The trailer will show flashes of these victims in parallel with the main female character.
The main protagonist is shown in a bar ordering drinks. She is drunk and the barman tells her she has had to much.

He proceeds to warn her that she could get hurt in the state she's in but when she refuses to listen he begins to tell her a story about people who have previously mysteriously disappeared after leaving the pub in such a state.
As he tells the story the trailer shows all the events which he talks about, happening to the woman who he is talking to. The barman then becomes the narrator of the trailer dictating the horrifying situations the woman finds herself in. It is around this point that the pace of the trailer quickens and suspense begins to build.

Pans and flashes of an eerie looking house set the scene for where the film is set, the trailer will give the idea that this is in the middle of nowhere and any help the woman hopes to find is inside this house.

The shot shows the protagonist running down a road through thick trees, during the shot there are several flashbacks of the same thing happening to other people, these will be distinguished by an effect like sepia or be made blurry.

An ironic shot of the girl telling her another person she knows that she'll be ok, shown quickly between screaming and running and flashes of trees and fast breathing.

A person standing on the wrong side of a bridge looking scared as though they are about to jump but not really wanting to. Sobbing noises, maybe a desperate but quiet plea for help.

She turns around and walks out of the pub as the doors close a bolt of lightning flashes and the screen goes black. After which the title of the film appears as well as credits and a website.
