New ideas and storyline


Once we had formed a new group, we began discussing our two ideas together. After coming up with lots of different options we could choose, we finally settled on one idea. We decided to keep the two characters that I had planned from my previous idea and put them in this idea, still keeping with the same concept that they are binary oppositions. 

Our idea was that a young woman has had nightmares all her life. As she gradually gets older, the nightmares soon become a reality. But a reality that no-one else can see. This is where the horror element is prominent because of the paranormal events. We found that the hardest part was finding a conclusion for our horror story, but in the end we decided that the victim of the nightmares slowly becomes insane and every person she sees becomes this scary woman from her nightmare. As a result of this, she begins killing people she loves (but sees as the scary woman) in an attempt to get rid of the nightmares.




From this, we decided we needed more to the story, and that the woman from the nightmares had to have a motive, or else the story would have no deep storyline. We once again, came up with different ideas, but eventually came to a conclusion that we thought best fitted the story.



Once we had the basis of the story, we needed to come up with more of the details surrounding it. We discussed different locations we could us that’d really enhance the horror element.



From the location, we then decided to develop some ideas of scenes that would be included in our film (if it was to be fully developed). We thought that lots of different scenes would make a good trailer, rather than shooting the different images in one location.





All the images are pictures of our planning as we tried to use Simon Pegg's and Edgar Wright's technique of using flip-chart paper to help map out our ideas.
