The document provides details for a horror film trailer titled "Last Person Standing". It will follow three teenagers exploring an abandoned house and woods where paranormal activity kills them off one by one. The narrative starts by showing a dead body in the house and then flashes back to show the characters arriving and experiencing supernatural events that claim two of their lives. The last character is also killed, and is revealed to be the same dead body seen at the beginning, subverting expectations that they would be the "last person standing" survivor.

Theme Our horror film’s theme is going to be ‘paranormal activity’. This means the horror and shock in the trailer will mainly be supplied by the appearance of supernatural events. All the deaths are linked, adds a mysterious element, along with shock factor, to make people want to watch the whole trailer. The conjuring 2 teaser trailer and the insidious trailers are two of the trailers that inspired us to choose the horror film. They both contain the classic conventions of horror films, such as: sharp titles, added with the appropriate music, precise editing, quick montage, sound effects, short dialogue, taglines, establishing shot, voice over etc.

The last character is all that remains, but is ultimately killed off as well, and is then revealed to be the dead body from the start of the trailer.
