Group Narrative

Out of our group we have each made an individual narrative but with all of them there will be advantages and disadvantages, by the end we will choose one of them and stick by it for our opening scene to our thriller film.

Brittany Terrelonge

For Brittany's narrative it is 4 friends sleeping over starting off as a normal sleepover watching films as discussing secrets when one of them decides to put across the idea of doing an Ouija board and they all end up agreeing to it. But when they do it one of them gets spooked and drops the glass, this is bad and as soon as it happens spooky things start happening around the house and they all become scared and what follows is unknown.

Advantages of this is that is has a good basis for a film and can easily include special effects that could show the house to be haunted and what things happen could be presented well. It is also is good as it relates to the age group as it is something that would happen at a sleepover but includes what could go wrong.

The disadvantages that come from this are that it may be hard to include all special effects as we only have the basics, it will also be hard to create a scene and make the house seem spooky and haunted. It will also be hard to be all serious about what is happening and will have to include some good acting which may be hard to do.

Katie O'Shaughnessy

Katie's individual narrative is that there are 4 people living in a house and one of them becomes possessed, this is because she is the youngest and most vulnerable, the other 4 get spooked out and decide to do an Ouija board and it spells out the girls name, and says other various spooky things, in the end the get in an exorcist to sort her out.

Advantages of this theory is that it is a good set for a thriller film, you could include various jumpy scenes, eery sounds and edits to make it seem as if the girl is truly possessed.

Disadvantages of Katie's narrative is that it would be very hard to edit it to a good standard to make the story believable and also have to include various props and things that may be hard to obtain, another down side is that it seems the narrative for the opening scene has all of the story embedded in it and what happens later on will just be little extras and no real surprise.

Will Stacey 

Wills individual narrative is that as a group we create a voodoo doll of Tayler so that when we do anything to the voodoo doll it happens to Taylor for example if we broke the leg on the voodoo doll Taylor's leg would break as well. The story behind the thriller is that brittany is obsessed with tayler and because she is mad and completely loopy she creates the voodoo doll of tayler so if he ever hurts her she has a way to get him back which is very twisted.

 

Advantages of this thriller is that there is a good background for suspense and thriller related conventions, the audience will also be kept on their feet and may also become frightened and start to feel feelings towards tayler in that they want to save him etc

 

Disadvantages of this however is that it would be hard to make what happens to the voodoo doll look real upon tayler and may look very fake causing the scary, thriller side of this story to lose its effect.

 

Tayler CoeMy idea for my thriller film is that there is a man that has been kidnapped and is left in a room all alone, where if he is not found within 6 hours new form of spider will be released upon him where it will eat and kill him. The character that is stuck in the room will be a black man that has been in a gang which has been robbing and killing people and is now karma is coming back on him. The enigma behind it is the man that is captured, carter ( the gang member ) is one of the people that was a victim to the gang but has survived and is now getting his own back on carter.Advantages of my story is that it will be good in creating horror and suspense as it will be showing the man in the room and then the others outside of that room trying to help and find him before its to late giving a race against time suspense effect.Disadvantages of this however is that there is no way we can get a giant spider or even cgi one that will look slightly real, it will also be hard to find the type of room i describe in my narrative to film in just around the are we live in.  The narrative that as a group we have decided to use is Brittany Terrelonges teh way we can make Brittanys narrative into a special effect, suspense filled thriller is overwhelming and we have therefore decided to choose Brittanys.
