After having the weekend to think over a new story plot, we then decided on a few ideas:
- Keeping the two girls in the park
- The girls could be sitting on a blanket
- Someone could be watching them
- They could still go back to their house and have a sleepover
After we discussed our new ideas with the teacher, we then decided on our idea of having two girls relaxing/meeting up in the park. The two girls then walk home and someone is watching them - perhaps they could be kidnapped?

After running through our film opening so far, we discussed our ideas about the doll further with our teacher and decided that our film opening didn't quite match with the idea we had in our head. The fact that me and Amara were both playing teenage girls playing in the park with a doll didn't seem right as you would not see teenage girls playing in the park with a doll. After having this discussion with our teachers, we then decided that we needed to change our idea quickly and fast in order to come up with a sensible story plot and characters that we could both play.

With this film opening, after putting everything together and seeing what we'd done so far we realised how much it didn't work. The fact that two teenagers are playing the role of what should be two children in the park with a doll does not quite make sense. We like some of the shots we've used and the storyline, however, this would have worked a lot better if we knew children that could play these roles instead of two teenagers. We also like the fact that the doll is being shown repetitively in order to give the audience the message that something isn't quite right.

After filming in the park today, we then took shots of two teenagers entering the park and various shots of the doll - We then decided to put these things together and see how they worked.

Horror Film Ideas

Horror Film Ideas

 

All of these names are potential film names that link with our plan of our movie - A doll that is 'haunting' two girls, the fact that most of the titles have to do with sleeping and children is something that makes it all the more scary and frightening.

These horror film ideas are things we thought of from the very start - We thought about what made a scary movie: The soundtrack being spooky tension building, the mise en scene involving different aspects such as a haunted house or a graveyard, incorporating different types of camera shots and editing wise including both straight edits and white flashes.

 

This story plot was another storyboard of our film beginning, we tried to made it so that each

 

 

 

 

All of these ideas were a potential story planning of ideas we thought about - We decided to put them into a spider diagram in order to try and link all the different ideas together.
