For this piece of coursework I was in a group of 3 people, Gemma Chambers and Megan Deighton were the 2 other people in my group.
From the very start of planning we decided that we wanted the genre we prefered was Horrer/Thriller type.
The original idea was to make a comedy horror movie, but we decided against this idea, because we found it difficult to do, so in the end we decided on a serious horror.
The original idea, which we have pretty much stuck to, was to film our opening scene in the woods, at night time. The reason for it being at night time was that it was about a group of friends that go camping in a forest, because people associate dark night time and the woods with fear.
In our original extract we were going to film a scene of where you saw the entire camp, but we didn't do this because we wouldn't of had enough time to introduce all of the characters.
The general idea of this piece was that one of the friends disappears into the woods, and then the others go off to try and find him. A movie that influenced us to have this idea was
'The Wrong Turn'
because this movie was about a group of friends going on a road trip, and they take a 'wrong turn' and the friends split up to go find help.
