Who’s dead body it is/ is there a connection? Who is the stalker? Is the stalker the reason behind the death? Why is he doing this? Do they survive? Why them? How did the dead body get there?

7. M o o d b o a r d http://pennynakana2.blogspot.com/2011/10/potential-moodboard.html The idea of this Moodboard is to give an idea of what we expect our teaser trailer to be like. This is a potential Moodboard of movies we were inspired by to create our teaser trailer ideas. We tend to focus on the Horror/Mystery side as we feel this would affect audiences more if we were to use realistic horror movies as an example.

8. T a r g e t A u d i e n c e a n d R e s e a r c h Young Adults: 15-25. Standard mark for Horror film ‘15’ My reason being because it’s action packed, with a thrilling edge. Also because with a young teenage cast, It will obviously appeal to younger people as they can relate similar situations. Whereas, older generations might not be able to relate to younger actors, and could easily become disinterested and confused.

9. G e n r e C o n v e n t i o n s Genre: Horror Film Teaser Generic conventions Mise en Scene : (Costume, props, iconography) Characters Narrative Unknown marauder/killer with vulnerable/naïve protagonist. Any weapons used will be whatever is easiest to find, i.e. a shard of glass, hammer, kitchen knife, maybe even a gun. Victim will be in casual attire/ party outfit depending on the story line. However the marauder may have normal attire like a suit or jeans and a t-shirt with a mask to hide their identity. Girl who is a victim may be naïve and flawed in her actions but over-all a “normal” girl. Extras may be more flamboyant, extrovert. Survival/Escape narrative. Girl and friends leaving for a forest party- like Skins Stalker and victim- (The Strangers/ Scream) Chase scene Life or death situation How will they survive? No escape- difficult to flight Fast cuts and edits between the “stalker shadow” and main character. Voiceover/Narrator. Technical Rules/Codes: Camera techniques, angles, shots.

Smoke effect, could have some crane shots for an above angle. Pop music for the party- lively music, current music but not too popular and well known. Lots of orchestral, string music throughout, violins, pianos, drums- help bring out the scare factor of the movie. Non Diagetic sounds also to help bring out the ‘documentary’ type effect.

Long shots of the setting and areas of the girls walking towards it. Close up of dead body, Establishing shot of the setting.
