 I thought about creating a magazine
  front cover for my final piece but then
  decided on creating a film and
  therefore now I am going to work on the
  opening trailer of a new film coming out.
 My genre is going to be a thriller/horror.
I am going to be working with Tom Jolliffe on my
production as we both decided on doing the same sort of
trailer when discussing our ideas. So far our rough
narrative/story is about 5 teenagers, 3 girls and 2 boys, that
go on a camping trip to a field. The ‘odd girl out’ one
evening walks out of her tent after hearing repetitive noises
and seeing shadows previous nights before. She tries to tell
her friends what is going on and what she thinks is
happening but as usual they don’t listen and think she’s
‘going mad’. She then gets kidnapped by this ‘thing’ (the
audience never see what or who it is) and disappears (me
and Tom thought we could use some good effects and
make it look like she’s getting dragged through the field
into the woods, and that would be end, left on a cliff
hanger.
 Then there were 4
 Disappearance
 The shadows
 Bad mistake
 A mystery
   We thought we should have the title in an usual
    creepy font to show it’s a horror film. Examples of the
    font title could be-

-Font idea 1
-Font idea 2
-Font idea 3
-Font idea 4
-F o n t i d e a 5
  A rough idea
of our logo is going to be this 
 We are going to have 5 characters in our
  production but one main character who
  the story is focused on and around.
 The main character is going to the ‘odd girl
  out’ as the 4 other characters (2 girls and 2
  boys) will be couples. This character will be
  played by Sophie Hudson.
 We haven’t got any of the other 4
  characters/actors sorted yet as we haven’t
  got round to asking people who we want
  and if they would want to be in it.
   Me and Tom decided as our whole
    production is going to be based on and
    practically the characters going on a
    camping trip, we decided and using my
    audience survey results most people said
    the best place to have a horror
    movie/trailer would be a field, so we went
    ahead with this plan and decided we are
    going to use the field behind my house in
    Keynsham to film.
 Simple, modern everyday clothes. For example
  the girls could wear jeans, leggings or shorts
  with a top. The boys could wear a top and
  jeans. The main girl would be changed when
  she gets dragged through the fields and
  kidnapped towards the end by making her
  clothes dirty (mud and blood stains on them).
 The props we would use would be a tent,
  sleeping bags, chars, torch, knife, bags –
  camping things overall.
5 teenagers (3 girls and 2      Playing games, telling        Next morning- main girl         Evening- hears strange
boys) are arriving in a field   stories, laughing and         character see’s                 noises, heavy breathing
unpacking all their             having a fun time and         something/someone in the        and shadows near her
camping things                  enjoying themselves before    distance running in             tent, tells her friends, they
                                getting into their sleeping   between the trees in the        say it’s nothing and to
                                bags and going to bed         woods ahead. She thinks         forget about it
                                                              nothing of it while the other
                                                              2 couples are still asleep


Walks out of her tent and       Tells her friends she wants   Goes for a walk but stays       Grabs the girl’s feet and
see’s something running         to go home, she’s had         around the area where she       drags her through the grass
away in the distance, but       enough and thinks             is camping, see’s               in the field, while she is
can still hear heavy            something strange is going    something coming up             screaming/crying and
breathing (sound effects        on, friends don’t listen      behind her quick, she           shouting for her friends to
etc put in here)                again when she tries to       screams and runs as fast as     help her, then the trailer
                                explain- tell her she’s       she can back to her tent,       ends with her being
                                ‘going mad’                   hides behind a tree/in the      dragged into the distance
                                                              bushes until she thinks ‘it’    into the woods leaving the
                                                              has gone away, she gets         audience
                                                              up and starts to run back       shocked/frightened and
                                                              when ‘it’ puts hand over        wanting to find out more
                                                              her mouth and chucks her
                                                              on the floor
