Final idea

Final idea-
Title: The Resistance 

Theme: Horror/ thriller

Plot: A group of friends go to stay at a log cabin in the middle of nowhere to have a birthday party. They are chatting and eating around a fire and one of the friends goes outside to get more firewood. Soon after the group inside hear screams and chopping noises. The remaining three friends all look at each other in horror and go to peer outside the door to investigate. One girl’s leg gets grabbed and a hood is put over her head which muffles her screams. One of the friends tries to pull her back inside but fails.

Narrative: Classical narrative structure (Todorov) incorporating binary opposites- good v. evil (Strauss)

Characters: Primary characters- two boys, two girl (the survivors/ one girl who is taken)

First victim (boy)

Takers (1 person)

Setting: Cabin at Box hill (Betchworth)

Mise-En-Scene: Dark, shadows- fire lit. Costume- for takers= all black+ masks.

I chose this ideas over the other as I felt that the other one would have been too complex as there were many different locations; we may have struggled with the continuity of it and it may have been confusing to watch if it had not been done right. Therefore, the story about the cabin is easier to film and will make more sense to the audience. Although it is a simpler idea, it will still be as good as we can emote the audience through suspense and tension.
