First Ideas for Film Trailer

My initial ideas have consisted of the genres; thriller and drama. I want to give off a dramatic yet eerie feeling behind the trailer. I was thinking the topic would be a trouble female teenager being possessed by a whole family that was murdered next to her first family home. As she is possessed by the family she can hear and feeling all their emotions and inner thoughts. This results in her being a troubled young person and lonely.

I was thinking to show the effects of hearing and seeings things having the camera doing fast/sharp movements to give a unsettled outlook to show how the main character is feeling at that moment in time and extreme close up shots of the actors/actresses to show the emotion behind the trailer to back up the drama genre. I want to include an extreme close up of tears on the face of the actress. To make it into a slight thriller I had the idea of filming it in the evening like when the sun is setting so it's not totally dark but yet it has a mysterious feel to the shots. I also want to have atmospherical music in the background with murmurs and voices in the background.

If the actress touches someone else one of the family members spirits will move onto the person touched and use that person as a host.
