Jake is alone in the classroom at night doing extra work. The lights above him begin to flicker and the trees outside start to sway violently. Jake, feeling scared reassures himself its his mind playing tricks. All of a sudden Isabella walks in the room, making Jake jump. Questioning him, she asks why he is so freaked out. They both laugh after Jake explains its because of the wind. Suddenly they both hear a blood-curdling scream comes from outside. Shaken, however not suspicious Jake and Isabella decide its best they head home. When walking outside they see Honor, dead. My characters can be labelled as e.g. Jake and Isabella are both the dispatchers rescuing Honor, the victim.

STATEMENT OF INTENT

Don’t Go Outside

I intend to create a film plan of which tells a story effectively. I wish to produce a gripping trailer of which leaves the audience wanting more. Poster number 1 will consist of a dark lighting, with a singular, harsh white-light, highlighting the main two protagonists (Jake and Isabella). The white lighting will signify the mysteriousness of the movie is dark itself. I intend to have both protagonists look scared because of the looming fear of the unknown, they both possess. The cover will be set in a classroom as this is where the movie mostly takes place.

Poster two will consist of Jake and Isabella sat back to back on the floor with papers surrounding them. The papers signify the reseda h both protagonists have to go to, in order to try solve the mysterious case. I will use a more golden lighting for this poster, with the intention of portraying an ‘eerie evening’ look.

Genre: Thriller

I chose this genre, because I think it has the audience articulating clues and scenes themselves. Although horrors provide edge-gripping feelings for audiences, thrillers allow for fear to be taken over by a drive to solve mystery.
