Title:The Walk

Genre: Horror

Sub-genre:Slasher/ psychological

Location: College, Woods and outside food shops

Title: We discussed our titles we decided to name our trailer ‘The Walk’ because this is a
mysterious tittle that creates an Enigma, it doesn’t give it to much away. The walks also
conforms to a horror title because normally in horror movies people go for walks as they are
unaware of surroundings, and then end up getting killed by the villain.

Details:We then recorded our details (Email-Address and mobile phone numbers etc). It
was important that we acquire each other’s number because we would then be able to
contact each other for significant reasons such as; planning our filming dates etc. We then
discussed the plot of our film. We have decided to establish the stock plot/themes of a serial
killer who stalks and slays his victims. We also concluded the sub-genre will be
slasher/psychological.

Character types and functions:A stereotypical teenage girl (Sharon) is the victim who
will be stalked by the villain who will then slay and slash her in the woods;she will be a
passive, subordinate teenage girl who is unaware of the surroundings. Adina will be
portrayed as an unknown villain who wears a mask as a disguise, who stalks and slashes
his victim ‘Sharon’.

Act 1:There is a sense of Disequilibrium at the beginning of the trailer which goes along
with Vladimir Propps theory. The trailer is introduced to an establishing shot introducing a
car with harsh, daunting sound that corresponds over, connoting danger and evil. After this
shot text is introduced who’s out there? We then seethe villain stalking the victim this
conveys an idea of a serial killer and a stalker, foreshadowing sinister events will erupt.

Act 2:The villain is filmed stalking his victim, the victim is then filmed walking alone into an
isolated stock location into a woodland area. We see the villain appearing out of nowhere
brutally killing his victim.
Act 3:At the end of the trailer, a snapshot reveals the victim dead.

Logline:A mentally deranged unknown serial killer plots to slay and slash his victims.

Who, what, when, why and where: The main synopsis of our horror movie is teenage
characters – disequilibrium is established of a teenage girl who becomes the villain’s victim
and gets killed. This storyline conformstoo many other horror film’s storylines such as;
Halloween and Scream which are slasher sub-genres, where typical storyline consists of an
unknown villain stalking and killing his victims
