Five teenagers embark on a quest through the woods as part of their school tradition, guided by riddles to retrieve five flags within 10 hours or be cast out. However, things are not as simple as they seem and an evil force lurks. The filmmakers chose to make a thriller genre film to challenge themselves and introduce unique iconography to keep audiences engaged. They will film in a local park known for its foggy, mysterious views at night to create tension and an unsettling atmosphere for the characters. The film aims to explore human nature and the desire to belong in high school society through different groups of characters.

3. INSPIRATION

4. GENRE
We decided on a creating a thriller because it
is a challenge to create a genre film and our
group wanted to push ourselves to try
something new and risky. In thrillers, there is
tension, suspense and scares but they come
from real-world understandable reasons taken
to extremes.
We also chose the thriller genre as it will
introduce us to some unique iconography to
help make our sequence more appealing as it
is important to keep the audience captivated
during the opening.

5. LOCATION/SETTING
For our location we have decided to film in
Alexandra’s Park. In the evening, a light fog covers
the trees creating a spooky and mysterious view.
This will help make the audience feel tense and
uncomfortable as they sympathise with the
characters for being lost with no way out of the
darkness.
The park is large enough for us to film freely and it
is a public location which means we have access
to film there. We will be filming at a time where it is
not crowded to avoid upsetting people if they
appear in the frame. (No need consent.)

7. REASON FOROURFILM
We decided to explore the idea of human
nature and the determination to thrive in
society. We decided to look at teenager in high
school where being popular is seen as most
important. We will be using characters from
different cliques to analyse the relationship
between them and expose if their behaviours
and attitudes are a dominant feature in them or
is it just a person conforming within society.

8. PROPOSAL
U.S.P: Our universal selling point is that it is a
relatable thriller, this would appeal to a wider
range of people, especially young adults
because it has the aspect of life that everyone
goes through in secondary school, this is the
desire to belong and having a form of respect
from their peers.
