Group Discussion – Final Story Idea

 

Over the last week Cameron and I have been reviewing our old story ideas and trying to improve on them. We started off by going to our chosen locations for inspiration and after only a few minutes had loads of ideas. We started to narrow down our latest ideas and referring to our questionnaire, adapted them to our target audiences needs. Our final idea was to set up the enigma in the opening sequence by choosing a non-linear story and showing the end of the movie at the start. Because of this our opening scene will focus on a character who is the only one left alive of the group that he was staying in the woods with. The opening sequence will show him stumbling around the wood finding his friends dead throughout the wood. Every time he sees one of his friends there will be a quick flash back showing them alive and well enjoying their holiday in the wood. After stumbling through the wood this character will walk into a graveyard where he will see another of his friends laying there dead before moving on frantically to a clearing where there is an old barn. There will be a dim red light shining out from within the barn and strange noises. A shadow of a little girl we be cast across the back wall of the barn. The character will walk inside the barn and out of view, after a quick scuffle and screams the screen will cut to black and the title “Scapegoat” will appear.
