Idea 1

Story for the film -

The concept of this idea would begin with teenage campers filming there 'birthday trip' for one of the characters to a forest on a hand held camera at night. They would set up there camping equipment in the forest. The campers would then all get into the tent and joking around would begin to tell ghost stories, this is when the trip would slowly turn from good to bad, they would begin to hear scary noises (footsteps, banging etc) The campers will realise that they are being watched by a young girl although some will not believe this. The hand held camera will be dropped out of the tent still on record to show the antagonist stood there looking at the tent (although only the viewers will see this). The antagonist of the film will appear possessed and capture one of the campers. The film will show the antagonist trying to take the taken camper away whilst the other campers are trying to find her. The ending of this idea is going to be left unknown to the viewer. 

Idea for trailer -

To begin the trailer for this idea I would start with a short clip of the antagonist heading to the location and watching the talent arrive. From this I would then skip back to the very beginning and show the talent getting ready for there trip and arriving at the location whilst filming them selves on a hand held camera. Next I would film the talent putting up there tent and sorting there camping equipment thought the trees and around the corner of objects to suggest to the viewer that they are being watched. In the tent I would go back to using a hand held camera so I think this would help to create suspense for the next part as it would show that they are alone. Once they realise they are being watched I would then use quick edits and use sound to make the action scary, as this idea ends on a cliff hanger and I am only making the trailer, I wouldn't need to create an ending so I would end the trailer on many very fast edits at the climax of music, ending on a clip of the antagonist.

Overview -

- Campers go camping to a forest

- They set up camp (tent, fire, sleeping bags)

- They get in the tent and tell ghost stories

- They begin to hear noises (banging, small girl singing)

- The antagonist appears in short/fast shots (to create suspense and draw the viewer in)

- The hand held camera gets dropped to show to the viewers that there is someone there watching the actors

- One camper gets captured

- Campers split up as some run and some try to save the taken camper

- The ending is left on a cliff hanger
