This is a scanned A3 piece that we did before we had chosen our final narrative. We had 3 very brief ideas that we mindmapped and these were all different subgenres of horror; slasher, supernatural and psychological.
The slasher idea was based on two girls being kidnapped and tortured by a sick man. We got our inspiration from films such as nightmare on elm street, wolf creek etc. It would be set at night, in an isolated road and their car would break down.They have to find help from the nearest house and they would stumble upon a mentally ill man who was evil. However, we thought this idea was too typical and wasnt very realistic as looking at the codes and conventions of a slasher, would have to involve a lot of gore, blood and disturbing circumstances which we didn't want to include.
Our second idea was another horror sub genre; supernatural. We would use elements such as the devil, spirits, ghosts and 'the unknown'. This narrative would be about a boy who had been contacted by spirits who would tell him what would happen in the future. He was bullied at school because he was able to guess what would happen and people would tease him for being psychic. Throughout the film, he turned evil and would get revenge on all the people that teased him while he was growing up.
Our third idea was a psychological horror that had elements of voodoo in it. Our story was based on a girl that was very lonely and liked a boy at her high school. She got very jealous of the boys girlfriend and would always leave the girl notes to her which would threaten her. One night she found out where the girl was babysitting and went to the house to tell her to leave the boy alone. She threatened her and used voodoo to try and get the girl to obey her but the girlfriend ended up dying.
