THE FIRST PLOT

Although we have not came to a definite decision on our plot for the opening of our horror movie, we have drafted an idea that we are currently working on. We have decided to set our scene in a woods because it is an immediate convention of a horror movie and will create a satsisfying establishing scene. The plot is based around a group of teenage friends both male and female to attend a camping trip in the forest; however, this is an extremely common plot and requires a twist. The reason they are camping in this particular forest is due to it only just being reopened to the public after a recent murder investigation that failed to identify a killer. This is the only definite bit to the plot as we intend to add an extra factor that will make the story more original than others like it. One idea was to include some form of mysterious book found in the forest that holds a tale or even a diary of the girl recently found murdered there. As the group pair of into there tents, whatever is in the forest will make it's move on one of the victim's as soon as they are alone. The negatives to this plot are that it isn't extremely original and requires tweeks in order to thrill the audience more. The positives are that it includes a helpless group of teenagers interfeering with alot of typical horror conventions and it includes very obvious conventions and plots so the audience can recognise them and hopefully be scared by them too!
