Planning

We have two openings and we are planning to shoot both in our time period, as when we shot our AS project, we really needed more footage to work with. Our idea for an opening scene is
- A shot of the characters feet walking through the forest, e.g. river, mud -this will be for around 10-15 seconds. In that time they will be talking about the myth of the woods (of the last girl who died there). It will only be the male characters talking as in the story, they are contisnalty trying to scare the girl (Emma Dixon) and from past horror films we have learnt that the female is normally the most innocent.
Scene idea 1 is that we get to see all 3 characters setting up the tent. However, the female characters see's someone running behind the trees (only she sees it, making her stand out to the audience). The girl doesn’t want to let the boys not that they have got to her, and she turns around, shakes the sleeping bag and it cuts to black. We plan to have a large bang or thug as it fades.
Scene 2 cuts to a hand held shot of someone looking at the tent through the woods. Quickly, to keep the audience on their toes, we cut into the tent to keep the fast pace of the movie. This is where the main storyline of the trailer is put into place. it is the 2 boys holding torches telling the myth. The girl will ask and the boy 1 will says "what you having heard?". at this point, we cut to a voiceover of a small female child explaining the myth. As she is talking, it will cuts to varies shots of
-the girl looking very frightened
- the mine itself
-black and white shots of the forest and of the tent
towards the end of our trailer, we will show the fire getting blown out and fade to black with a scream and the sound of people running and quick cuts of the characters running to add to the atmosphere.
