-Brainstorm-
We began by creating an idea and concept for our slasher horror trailer, in the form of a brainstorm. We wrote down our initial ideas on what we wanted to include based on the research we had been doing in class. For example, we had to take into consideration the conventions of slasher horror and how we would conform to them, challenge them or develop them.
Our original idea was to be based around a true story with influences from the novel We Need To Talk About Kevin, by Lionel Shriver; A story about a boy who became obsessed with the idea of becoming famous. He did so by committing a mass murder at his school. We also decided that we wanted our story to be based locally, and so thoroughly researched the notorious Camden Ripper. Too keep with the conventions on a ‘teen slasher’ we decided that our teaser should be shot in our school, also highlighting our USP and encouraging teens from the local area to get involved with our teaser.
It was decided that we would have a male killer, who always wore a mask and never revealed his true identity, another commonality of the slasher horror genre. We toyed with the idea of using a knife as the murder weapon, however we later decided that we wouldn’t reveal what weapons were used as to create a sense of mystery for our audience.
We came to the decision that this storyline would be both suitable and appealing to an audience over the age of 15 and also for ‘creative and aspiring adults’ keeping true to our brief.
