The Brief

A promotion package for a new film, to include a teaser trailer, together with two of the following three options:

• a website homepage for the film;


• a film magazine front cover, featuring the film;


• a poster for the film.

Initial planning for research, ideas, information that we will need to consider and collect. This over view will also help when it comes to creating our time plan.

Initial Ideas For the Story

These ideas are our first thoughts before researching the horror genre, we plan to develop them/come up with more ideas as we do more research.

• Camping? Coming of age, traveling? They could possibly breakdown and set up camp for the night, split up to find help, killer in the woods - Slasher
• Lorry Driver follows people on the road, torments them.
• Shrooms-esque, teens get lost in wood see things that aren't there,without the drugs.
• Girls best friend becomes obsessed,turns violent when she joins a clique, starts killing everyone.

Possible influences - Scream, Halloween, I know what you did last summer, Wolf Creek.

FINAL IDEA

After researching the codes and conventions of the horror genre and looking at simliar products we have finalised our idea. The basic film sypnosis is ; A highschool setting, the story being based around a group of 'friends' which orientate around one 'beautiful- all the boys have to have her' girl. Eventualy one of the boys takes his obsession with the girl to far and evidently kills everyone - in a 'if i cant have her nobdy can' fashion.

This idea will work well for the typical target audience (which will need more researc) of a horror film.
