Planning: Narrative. Finalised.

Film name: Social Killer.
We liked this name as a group as it's telling our audience exactly what it is and shows it's relevance to our target audience as social networking is very relevant to our audience. As this is such a relevant topic in today's world, it will hopefully reach our audience. Also, social networking can be quite controversial  It also suggests the horror genre as there are killings, it also suggests blood and gore if there is death in the film. 


Characters:  Two females & a killer. Also, students used to film when using computers. Also, a woman's voice for the voice over.


Settings: A bedroom, The City of London Academy (for the toilets, halls and study areas) - As we don't have a high budget, we have to make use of what we have.


Camera: We are going to use handheld cameras for our trailer. Handheld cameras are easy to use and portable to take to any other locations that we wish to use.


Props/Costumes: We will all wear our own clothes as we do not have a high budget. We will use some fake blood to show deaths. We will also use a knife 


Tagline: Is a friend really a friend?




Narrative:  As I am going to create the trailer on my own, I will have my own ideas on how I would like the trailer to start.


I want to have the production company at the start of the trailer. If the company have produced other good horror films, then the audience will think that this one will be good as well and may wish to see this one because a good company have produced it. I will most likely use "Twisted Pictures" as this again immediately suggests the film will be of the horror genre.


The trailer will begin with a woman's voice over. I want to use a woman's voice as women are unexpected characters for voice overs, so I would like to be unconventional with this to make my film different to any of those out there at the moment. At the same time I will show students using computers, phones and talking to eachother. At the start of the trailer I will be showing normality, which is conventional of horror films, and then I will show the quick change of how easily realism can be taken away and turned into something nasty. I will show a laptop with a flashing screen on its own in the dark to show this change.


As the trailer progresses, there will be two deaths. These will not be shown as I don't want to give away too much to the audience but there will be blood and weapons to highlight the genre of the film.
I want to also show the eye of someone killed, to show lack of emotion. I would like for the camera to swirl, like in the Hitchcock film "Psycho"- but this may be difficult to do.
