Initial idea for horror trailer

Synopsis: A schizophrenic man escapes from a mental hospital. This causes mass panic in the local area. A group of 5 teenagers are on a camping trip and hear about it via portable TV/radio. They end up being hunted down by this person until the final girl/boy finally stops him. The murderer is a man who escapes from a mental hospital; he has schizophrenia and hears voices from objects. He hears voices from a puppet/teddy that is telling him to kill these teenagers. The initial start of the trailer will be the mental patient waking up and attacking one of the doctors. This is done from his perspective to not show what the murderer looks like. This may include an establishing shot of the mental hospital. We then see the group of teenagers seeing the short news report saying that this murderer has escaped. This acts as the signifier in the trailer. The rest of the trailer is short action/suspense sequences until the big finish were we see a glimpse of the murderer plus the teddy/puppet.
