Teaser Trailer Story Boards

Horror Mood Board

My horror mood board clearly shows my interest of dark, abandoned woodland locations and perhaps the use of an old creepy house

I would like the idea for the trailer to be set at night time because I think this makes the whole thing seem more sinister and disturbing

I like the idea of gore in horror movies so I have included pictures containing blood and serious wounds

Female victim/heros are shown as these are a typical convention of horror films

I have included some pictures of male villians

I like the idea of children being used in horrors as I think their innocence creates a unnerving contrast to the events that take place in a horror. I feel the use of them is very successful in making the the audience feel uneasy and uncomfortable. I particularly like the idea of a child being the villian

My Horror Film Idea

Over The Edge

*A teenage boy is bullied by a group of people at school

* As revenge he fakes his own death in order to make them feel guilty and regret what they have done to him and what it led him to do

* He plays on their minds by occasionly allowing his bulliers to see glimpses of him. They think that they are being haunted by his ghost

* The ringleader of the group (the final girl) is taking his death the worst because she feels the most responsible. One time when she sees him she attempts to talk to him and pleads with him not to haunt her anymore. He moves towards her and in a panic picks up a chair to defend herself and hits him over the head with it.

* She then of course realises that he wasn't dead at first and has now just murdered him herself

* She now feels even worse than she did before and her guilt drives her mad and tips her over the edge

* She becomes uneasy and is paranoid that her friends know about what she has done and convinces herself that they are conspiring against her and will turn her into the police

* As a result she turns on them herself and kills them off one by one to protect herself and keep her secret hidden

* But of course she had now killed more than one person and is easily found guilty by the police

* She does not go to prison but is instead sent to a mental institution
