Media Horror Script Final

The horror thriller starts off in the woods with two school boys walking home; the killer is not far away from them and can be seen in different shots dragging a dead body through the woods into a ditch. After this the killer catches a glimpse of the school boys walking through the woods. The last thing in this short horror opening is the two school boys walking out of the woods, with the central antagonist being quite clearly seen in the background.

Throughout this trailer we will include very quick flashing pictures. The pictures will be up for approximately 0.5 seconds till 1 second. This gives the audience who are watching it a short time to see it, as we are hoping to tell part of the plot through pictures. The pictures will consist of the central antagonist doing various things, e.g. dragging a body away. We are also going to include pictures of his hands and feet that we will filter into black and white.  The actual recorded footage on the other hand will be the two school boys walking through the woods on their way home. This is when the pictures will flash up between some lines that they say. We are hoping to include at least 15 – 30 different pictures.

We are starting with an establishing shot of the woods to set the scene. We then transition from this to a long shot of the two school boys walking towards the camera. We then switch to a tracking shot of the boys walking. We could also use some pictures of the antagonist to use as transitions to various shots of the boys.  Credits will also be appearing on the ground and various trees at the side as the boys are walking down. It is also possible that we could use some dark eerie music to signify that something bad is going to happen. We have also tried to use typical teenage stereotypes as we have included an Xbox in the dialogue. One of the things Nathan says is “Have you seen Sam recently?” this shows that the dead body that can be seen being dragged is Sam’s. 

 

Notes

·         Sam could also be dressed as a school boy

·         The two school boys could be talking about a missing person at their school possibly a friend

·         Could say something like “Why did the school say we should walk home in pairs?”

·         The killer could be targeting school boys
