Transcript of Planning; location, props, costumes, actors

This is where the car could be parked, at the end of the track near the opening of camp.

When the teens are entering and leaving camp, the car will drive down this long spooky track. At the point where the car don’t start this is where the antagonist will be standing with the car headlights shining on her.

This is where the friends intend to camp. There will be a tent set up here. Also this is where they will play team games.

This is the location in which the tracking shots will take place, i.e when the teenagers are running from the antagonist. This is because they will look effective in the dark because there is a forest either side which gives it a spooky feel.

This is the forest location where the camp fire will be set up and where the friends see the dark figure in the background. The trees in the surroundings will make it look eerie at night time.

The Setting:

Props: Characters:

Here are some images of some of the props we will be using. As you can see there is a knife, an axe, a tent and a teddy bear. The knife will be used when the Father of the antagonist character kills the Mother. The axe will be the antagonist’s main weapon as it is conventional to the horror genre and seems more violent than most other weapons. The tent will be put up at the camp site where the teenagers intend on staying the night until all things descend into gloom. And finally the teddy bear will be used when there is a flashback of the antagonist’s past (the part where the girl will see her Mum being killed). The teddy bear will represent her as young an therefore innocent.

These characters above are the main 6 characters in the film. Top Left- Kirsten (Antagonist)Top Middle- Molly (friend) (Mother) Top Right- Ash (Protagonist/friend)Bottom Left- Chels (Protagonist/friend) (Father)Bottom Middle- Phil (friend) (Antagonist as child)Bottom Right- Phil (friend)The first set of brackets shows their role to the main plot of the trailer. The second set of brackets are those characters involved in the flash back of the antagonists past.

Costume:This is a similar idea to what the antagonist will be wearing. A white/cream nightgown is the main intention as it represents the girls childhood and innocence as well as giving a ghost-like feel to the trailer. Also, the night gown will be torn and quite dirty which will connote that the antagonist has been wearing it for a long time, and perhaps since the death of her Mother.

The group of friends will be wearing casual, every-day clothes in order for them to be represented as ‘normal’ through their costume. The friends will probably be wearing big coats and jackets as it is Winter and therefore it may be cold at the camp. The friends will also be wearing boots/trainers for footwear and will probably have big bags full of their camping gear.

The Mother of the antagonist will be wearing a pair of trousers, boots and a blouse. The blouse and smart trousers will represent the Mother as more mature compared to the teenagers who are wearing more casual clothing such as jumpers.

The Father character who kills the Mother will be wearing a black cloak/other black clothing. They will probably wear a mask and gloves too, which hide his/her identity.
