Initial ideas developed

Since coming back after the christmas holiday, the group have decided on continuing with the thriller theme, but incorporating horror instead of love, following the research from the questionnaire. From with we have come up with a completely new idea which we are now developing into storyboards and scheduels. Additionally we will individually be doing further research on the genre of horror to help us develop our ideas further.

Initial idea-

Theme: Horror/ thriller

Plot: A group of friends go to stay at a log cabin in the middle of nowhere to have a birthday party. They are chatting and eating around a fire and one of the friends goes outside to get more firewood. Soon after the group inside hear screams and chopping noises. The remaining three friends all look at each other in horror and go to peer outside the door to investigate. One girl’s leg gets grabbed and a hood is put over her head which muffles her screams. One of the friends tries to pull her back inside but fails.

Narrative: Classical narrative structure (Todorov) incorporating binary opposites- good v. evil (Strauss)

Characters: Primary characters- two boys, two girl (the survivors/ one girl who is taken)

First victim (boy)

Takers (1 person)

Setting: Cabin at Box hill (Betchworth)

Mise-En-Scene: Dark, shadows- fire lit. Costume- for takers= all black+ masks.
