The document outlines the plot of a horror film called "Forest" where a group of teenagers go camping in the woods but are stalked by a psychopathic killer named Johnny De Capri who murdered his family and others in the woods. It discusses the film's title, narrative plot points, ideas for the trailer incorporating suspense through editing techniques, and proposed props like a video camera, mask, coat and other items to advance the story.

1. Forest...
Tagline: School Boy Errors

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)
