Title:The Walk
Genre: Horror
Sub-genre:Slasher/ psychological
Location: College, Woods and outside food shops
Title: We discussed our titles we decided to name our trailer ‘The Walk’ because this is a
mysterious tittle that creates an Enigma, it doesn’t give it to much away. The walks also
conforms to a horror title because normally in horror movies people go for walks as they are
unaware of surroundings, and then end up getting killed by the villain.
Details:We then recorded our details (Email-Address and mobile phone numbers etc). It
was important that we acquire each other’s number because we would then be able to
contact each other for significant reasons such as; planning our filming dates etc. We then
discussed the plot of our film. We have decided to establish the stock plot/themes of a serial
killer who stalks and slays his victims. We also concluded the sub-genre will be
slasher/psychological.
Character types and functions:A stereotypical teenage girl (Sharon) is the victim who
will be stalked by the villain who will then slay and slash her in the woods;she will be a
passive, subordinate teenage girl who is unaware of the surroundings. Adina will be
portrayed as an unknown villain who wears a mask as a disguise, who stalks and slashes
his victim ‘Sharon’.
Act 1:There is a sense of equilibrium at the beginning of the trailer which goes along with
Vladimir Propps theory. The trailer is introduced to an establishing shot introducing shops of
a normal aspect of society - withcalm, normal sound that establishes everything is normal
and safe.
Act 2:The trailer then suffers a disruption when there is a shift in equilibrium when the
sound suddenly turns into silence. Half of the villain’s body is introduced his boots. This
creates an enigma questioning audience who the unknown person is. Spooky sound is then
introduced corresponding over the villain stalking the victim.
Written Treatment
2. Act 3:The spooky sound track carries over as the victim walks into the woods,
disequilibrium is then established as the victim loses control in the woods and suffers a
brutal attack by the villain. Scenes are established of the victim screaming – this will make
her appear weak and vulnerable the trailer will then end of a low angle of the villain stabbing
his phallic symbol into the camera.
Logline:A mentally deranged unknown serial killer plots to slay and slash his victims.
Who, what, when, why and where: The main synopsis of our horror movie is teenage
characters – disequilibrium is established of a teenage girl who becomes the villain’s victim
and gets killed. This storyline conformstoo many other horror film’s storylines such as;
Halloween and Scream which are slasher sub-genres, where typical storyline consists of an
unknown villain stalking and killing his victims
