Location Recces

There are two locations that I will be using for the filming of my movie trailer, they are Plantsbrook School and Sutton Park.

Plantsbrook School:



-This will be the starting location of my trailer, where the school scenes will be filmed featuring a young group of friends, the filming here will take place in the day time.

Sutton Park:



-Sutton Park is the other key location for my movie trailer, the wood scenes will take place here as the key factor in the trailer is the setting of the 'haunted woods'. The filming here will take place in evening/night time to emphasise the 'spooky' setting.

Updated Narrative

 A group of school friends who have been close all the way through school are getting to the end of their school career.  Most of the girls in the group have boyfriends.
They all plan a group celebration to mark the end of their school career after their final exams.  They decide to have a wild weekend in the woods, with music, drinking, skinny- dipping, partying and just generally letting their hair down. They know that the local woods have a reputation as not being a safe place.  The parents of the group have warned their children since they were young that it is not a place they should go to.  They make a pact not to tell their parents the truth about where they are going.  There are lots of local stories about the woods being haunted and a place where awful things happen.  They were the scene of a horrific mass murder many years ago when their parents were teenagers and there are lots of subsequent tales of people going missing in the woods over the years since.  The group of friends just see these tales as myths without any real substance.  They see going into the woods for the weekend as a rite of passage that will mark the end of one era and the start of a new one as they all prepare to go off to Uni. They plan to spend the weekend after the last exam in the woods, finding a suitable place deep within them to go camping and party undisturbed.  They discuss their plans secretly with each other.  When they all set off excitedly on their adventure it becomes clear here is some tension between one of the couples.  They don’t seem to be getting along as well as usual.
When they get to the woods they park up and empty the cars.  They carry their camping gear and supplies into the woods to find a suitable clearing to set up camp.  The woods are dark and eerie and they joke about the ghosts of the murder victims coming back to haunt them.  When they set up camp strange things start to happen…….

A group of 3 girls and their boyfriends decide to go into the woods near to where they live, as they go there often and think of it as a safe place, they decide the camping trip is a good idea as they have just finished school and plan the trip as a mark of celebration. One of the girls and their boyfriends are having tension little does the girl know its because of one of her friends knowing a dirty little secret about her boyfriend cheating on her the previous weekend and has said “if you dont tell her i will”. On the day they load their tent and belongings into the car where one of the girls tells the others about the tension shes been having with her boyfriend and feels that its not a good idea as she feels awkward. Her friend feels guilty and realises she needs to tell her friend this weekend as she can tell its making her friend really down. When they go on the camping trip they leave when its light so they can find a suitable place near the cars and on the main path, they are seen walking through the forest where they eventually get to a spot suitable as it looked like a safe place. However on the way to the site an argument breaks out between the girl and her boyfriend and decides she wants to leave her friends persuade her to stay and suggest its only a pathetic argument and it will be resolved later.When getting to the site the lads go off and get wood and the girls set up the tent As they are setting up they hear the breaking of branches and a scream in the distance but as they see anything they continue setting up as it gets darker and think its the lads playing a prank on them. as the night goes on one of the girls goes into the tent to get ready for bed when the other girl decides its about time she told her friend the reason her and her boyfriend keep arguing. The friend gets up and storms off in tears The other two stay behind and let her clear her head , her boyfriend tries to catch upto her but she is gone by time he finds out whats happened, but has half an hour passes and there is no sign of their friend they get worried and decide to search for her and walk in the direction she went in, as they are searching for their friend they come across the jacket she was wearing and can hear laughing in the distance, they decide to follow the laugh where one of them suddenly gets dragged across the floor but no one is there but they can still hear laughing in the background further into the woods they find a patch of blood on the floor where there is a trail so they follow the trail where they see a mysterious figure in the distance heading towards them so they run back to the tent where the figure pursues them, when almost back at the campsite they lose sight of the figure and lock themselves into the tent where they try to call the police but there is no signal then a bloody handprint is then seen on the tent , they then start to scream and the mysterious figure runs off, they then run out of the tent and head towards the exit of the forest where the figure starts to pursue them . Near the exit on the girls goes missing and is seen getting dragged around on the floor and with no sign of their other friend they continue to exit when back in the car the mysterious figure is behind the car .
