board
Brief ideas of storyline
• Watching a film as a group of friends
• One gets left out
• Unknown hooded figure is in the picture
• Unknown figure kills the bullies after being payed
• The girl that gets bullied turns into a psycho
Shots and scenes
• Close up on important objects such as the money, the knife, the
empty crisp packets and the bottle, the phone, etc
• Over the shoulder shots so it looks like we are walking with the
character or that we are the character so we get a POV shot
• Long shots of events such at slamming doors, throwing this so we can
get a real idea of the affects.
Lighting and clip inspiration
• Dull dark lighting on the inside and dull days for when we shoot
outside. Clips should look similar to these pictures:
Teaser posters and trailers
• I would like them to have a dull mysterious look to the with a creepy
font for the title for example:
