- you could see a certain night/ event from the different characters perspectives, like Final Destination.
- They all go different pathways, but connect for the main event.
- it could be based around urban legends/ teenage activities e.g. sex, drugs, parties
- Plot: first you see a group of girls dressed up ready for party/ night out. One of the main characters in this group. Appears a little different. Shy?
- You see a group of guys. Drunk/ stoned. Talking about hooking up with a girl. One of the guys again is different, but not in the same way as the girl character.
- first part of the trailer you see the girls laughing and heading towards a party. The men follow suit, but coming from a different direction. Haven't met yet. It could then show a bit of the party. Two people getting together romantically.
Strange man and shy woman.
- one of the louder girls tries to gain his attention, unaware of what event will occur if she sleeps with him.
- all meeting outside of the party. You see them shake hands and say names.
- trailer cuts to killers point of view. he chats up the girl. You then see the camera shot appear as if audience is viewing through a CCTV camera. Killer and one of the loud woman going into a car with him.
- cut to everyone drinking when two have left. blurry like from one of the characters point of view.
- shot of same shy person seen night before. wakes up of a hangover. turns on TV. the girl is shown killed and innocent guy who has been made to appear guilty is on the screen as the killer. Looking smug.
- quick shots of all different characters running away, their moment to be killed. except the shy girl. The killer actually feels emotion for her.
The killer is one of the guys. He takes these opportunities to rape and murder girls. But the guy who takes off with the girls isn't the killer. Just appeared to be.
Mood Board
Horror Genre
Kellie Titchener and Jasmine Bridger
Idea 3
Being watched through a CCTV camera:
- special effects would connect to the camera - fuzzy effect
- Number of people (teenagers) could be seen through the camera. They could either be trapped or scared of something can't be seen.
- When everything i dark, something happens.
-Trailer could end on the camera breaking down.
- Sitting in a room - we take a video before of an empty room. Normal situation. Make another video of something going across the room. Only the characters can see the killer through the camera. We can see the characters though a CCTV camera through the killers perspective.

Idea 4
Scientific Horror:
- Could create a character that scientifically wants to be able to find the best way to kill without being caught.
He is psychologically broken.
- Character could kill many people trying to figure out the best possible way. This could be what the entire film is based on.
- He could be possessed to try and figure out the best way.
- Something happened in his childhood to twist his mind
- There could be one character, a woman, that he can't bring himself to kill - plot twist.
Further CCTV idea:
- Four teenagers could be attacked realistically on camera.
- Film as if they are on their phones
- Issue - being a trailer this may make it hard to film as it can't be one continuous clip.
- when it reaches a number on the countdown, a big part of the film is revealed in the trailer. Something to jump or scare. Attracts audiences.
- Saw idea - people are trapped - camera is given
'When it gets to zero, someone will die'
they could all be acting normally, it can then change to them unconscious and waking up chained in a dark, horror themed place. A camera is watching them, shots as character and camera. Piece of paper saying quote.
- Screen goes dark. A big zero fills the screen. Brightens to someone dead.
How did they die when no one else is in the room and no other weapons are there?
Idea 5
Connecting the film to old animatic:
- one of the characters might not be as human as thought.
- could be that one character sets up the others - the only way the deaths are able to happen?
- The different clips of varying parts of the film
- Could have a link to another genre (thriller, romance, comedy?)
- Another Genre would create another plot which could interest a larger audience to our film.
- A memorable part needs to be in the trailer which can be used on posters and magazine covers.
- Last animation revolved around one character who is holding an inhuman being hostage.
- These characters could be murderous, but romantically involved?
Idea 1
Horror mixed with comedy...
- Dumb blonde girl - she could be the killer/ victim.Victim is more cliche. Killer could be a plot twist - makes our plot unique
- Special effects - these would be less realistic to add humour
Can still be used for comedy effect
Connect it to horror like scary movie, however this isn't the plot we are most interested in doing.
We will continue ideas.
