Draft Narrative

Narrative

As a group we discussed some key features that we would like to include in our Film Trailer some of these were;

·         Spooky Location (Abandoned/ Derelict Sites)

·         Researching then go and find out.

·         Cliff Hanger ending.

·         Spooky Person.

Using these key features we thought of a rough storyline that we could then develop into more depth. This is the storyline;

To start there are two girls researching derelict locations on the internet, whilst searching the internet they find a website talking about a young girl (aged around 16, 17, and 18) who had gone missing while on holiday at the Lower Woodside Holiday Park and had never been found.

The girls who were researching decided to visit Lower Woodside Holiday Park for a thrill.  They arrive at the location after a car journey and look around.

After looking for a while they see a girl in a long white dress, one of the girls realise that the story they were researching was true, they go and try to talk to her but she disappears She then chases them and they run away and drop the camera. The Spooky Girl then kneels on the ground and looks into the camera.

What is a Film Trailer?

What is a Film Trailer?

In videos and film technology a series of short edited clips of selected scenes, which is put together to make a film trailer.Trailers are often used as a way to advertise a film. It’s also used to attract thier target audience to go and watch their film.Trailers give the audience an insight about the movie, this is usually called a teaser trailer.

Trailers are also used to inform the audiences that there is a new movie soon to come out to cinemas; the production company will make sure that their trailer is eye catching so that the audience see the film trailer and then want to go and see the film. A film trailer usually gives the audience an idea what the film is about whilst keeping the narrative a secret, this is done by using only clips from scenes from the film, and not using them in a linear form. This way the film trailer bounces from one clip to another which keeps the audience guessing, and exited about the film.
