The document outlines planning for a student film project. The initial ideas were for either a film trailer or magazine spread. The student decided on a horror film trailer. They developed a narrative about a group of friends on a camping trip where strange things start happening. Details were drafted for the title, fonts, narrative, actors, locations, costumes and props. The student then moved to a first draft of the shooting script.

• Narrative: Begin with an equilibrium of a
happy group of friends going camping but one
of them starts seeing things but no-one else
believes her but then things start happening
to them all.

6. First ideas
• I have expanded and improved my narrative.
Group of teenagers go on a camping trip in a
field. One evening she walks out of her
tent, after hearing some noises and seeing
shadows. Tries to tell her friends what is going
on but they don’t listen and tell her she’s
‘going mad’. She then gets kidnapped and
dragged through the field but we never see
who or what it is, and this is very conventional
of horror films.
