Planning - Initial Meetings, Prop and Location Talks.

All of our 'meetings' within the group simply took place within our media lessons, since this is by far the most convenient and appropriate place for us to us be together and talk about our ideas for the trailer.

Our initial meeting saw us come up with the basic idea for what kind of horror movie our trailer would be for (A sort of sub-genre discussion) and who the 'monster' would be. We found it important to get these basic things sorted before we moved onto anything specific. Eventually we decided that we wanted a slightly paranormal/documentary style horror film, with the main 'monster' being some sort of Gas masked villain. Once we had established this, we began to think of specific shots that we could include in the trailer, and also a vague storyline so we could begin thinking about how our trailer was going to work.


From here we decided on a location, a swampy/forest type area would be the main location for the trailer, aswell as one of our houses for some other footage. We also thought about what props we may need, for example tents, metal detector, bags, and of course the gas mask around which our trailer was somewhat based.
