Group Narrative-Miss Georgiou

Group Narrative

Purpose of the narrative:

This is to provide the audience with a story line, so that they may connect with the characters in the film and engage them around the interesting plot.

Individual ideas:

Alex (Me) ideas:

Their are a group of people who are dared to spend the night in and old abandoned house, however there is actually a maniac who lives in the house who lock the group in and slowly hunts them down one by one. Using all the techniques that I have mentioned, about the group of people who are trapped in an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere at night. This all creates the conventions typical in a thriller genre, in my film I would also like to attempt to break the 180 rule which has been done in "Psycho" which I would like to replicate, this would give a 360 view of the setting which will draw the audience in and help them empathise with the characters.

Advantages-

• It is conventional
• Ideas are similar to other films that have made them work
• Simple

Disadvantages-

• Hard to find an abandoned location 
• To repetitive
• Need to find a group of people 

Noah ideas:

A couple go to a closed hotel. They didn't know this and they start to argue. The woman leaves the man stranded there over the winter and begins to lose his mind in the cold attic of the hotel. He then murders new guests in the summer with blunt objects while wearing a phantom of the opera mask that he had found. I got the location from the shining, the suspense of him killing from pet cemetery, the mysteriousness from v for vendetta, the isolation plot from misery and the iconography from Texas chainsaw. Hopefully these ideas create an element of shock, suspense and surprise amongst the audience.

Advantages-

• Easy to acquire iconography
• Small group
• Long story line 

Disadvantages-

• Hard to find location
• Hard to portray the weather 
• Not simple - To much going on

Lucy ideas:

To reach a first idea and plot for my opening sequence, I took my inspirations and thought about the main features, Characters and Location. Therefore these are my first ideas...

• Characters - 3 girls, Amy, Stacy, Hannah - 3 Boys, Sam, Jack, Mark - 2 killers
• Location - Woods
• Time - Halloween night
• Target Audience - Certificate 15 aimed at teenagers

Plot

A group of girls go camping on Halloween night. They start to hear strange sounds from outside, coming out of their tent the sounds start getting louder. The girls are scared and have no idea what to do. A group of boys jump out on them.

Once the boys go home, the girls plan to go to bed, however the sounds start again, they think its the boys, although this time it isn't...

Advantages-

• Easy to find location 
• Can be filmed at any times - don't require specific weather conditions
• Simple plot

Disadvantages-

• Large group
• To much dialogue 

Groups final narrative:

• The location that our group decided on was a mix between an abandoned location and a forest
