2. Why Forest...
• The Name forest is short and gets to the point, I have Taken off the “The” and made it Forest as I
believe its more powerful and meaningful. It also gives the audience the incentive to watch the
movie in the sense that why actually want to know what’s so special about the forest
• I believe forest is a good name too as the audience are given that source of info only and not given
a date, this can relate back to the uses and gratification theory, ideally we want the audience to do
research and find out more about the product.
• However a Month many be given for instance at the end the number 10 maybe given to suggest
that the movie would be release in October, but its up to what the audience take it as.
3. Narrative
• Seth Dorian and Huey, have decided to go camping together, but our afraid they will be called gay by other
friends, therefore they ask the girls (Amelia, Katie & Sonya) to come with them.
• The Girls agree, and meet up by the school at and head of to the woods.
• As their there they decide to play games, what normal teenagers do (Truth or Dare) till Seth starts moaning
about it being boring.
• The group then play hide and seek, this is where everything turns down hill for them .
• Psychopath Jonny De Capri who murder his family and 51 others back in 97 has identified these students in
“His Woods”
• Amelia Attempts to tell her friends what their doing isn't wise and even refers to Jonny.
• What Happens Next?
• (He Follows them each one by one)
4. Trailer
• Looking at other previous trailer I have been able to identify the pace of editing.
• Editing in trailers are at a very high pace, this is because they want the viewer to have inadequate information
in terms of what's going on, in reference to the gratification concept. Trailers have to be short and snappy to
create a form of tension and this is one of the many tasks I have to do in order to maximise marks.
• During when I was watching these trailers where were many cuts and black outs, this technique is again used
to create a form of uncertainty.
• Sound is essentially the most important media codes as it helps establish what's going on for instance there's a
black screen but you can hear panting essentially we the audience feel there's something going wrong.
• And in order to potentially capitalize on marks all these methods must be used.
5. Props
• Video Camera (To Create Point Of View Shots)
• Mask for the Psychopath – Something that is a cliché in many horror franchises
• Long Coat – this would be the coat that the psychopath would wear to create some form of
authority and intimidation
• Bags – Bags as a source of luggage as the student are to “Camp in the woods”
• Glass - These are the Glasses that Dorian and Amelia would be wearing
• Books – the reason I have selected books as a prop is as these teenagers are still in full time
education, it would be ideal that books would bring a sense of realism.
• Touch Lights to show dialog between students ( sharing Secrets and playing games)
