Inspiration: Montage of Signs and Symbols
This montage of images represents the various objects which inspire me for our movie trailer. The idea of a road leading to a dead end, literally, and an unknown religeous presence, with warnings around a group of teenagers about this 'thing', yet still being foolish enough to carry on!
Like in many horrors, people are warned by these signs, being either government signs, or traces of death and religeous markings. I personaly find Religious Horror the most scariest, e.i anything to do with devil/supernatural.

Inspiration: Montage of Screen shots taken from Feature Films
The following images within this montage are feature films that has inspired my Horror movie concept. Images includes shots from films, Blair Witch Project(1999), The Ring(2002), 30 days of night(2007), The Strangers(2008), Quarantine(2008) and Paranormal Activity 2(2010). Our horror idea has a mythical 'thing' that is unknown, so the movie shots that i have chosen are very good choices as most have an unknown creature/person. Our movie doesn't have a clear monster to the audience, just knowing of a mythical killer. One of the most scary things to people is 'the unknown', so we've created a creature for our film that has no deffinate presence of life to achieve the most scariest 'monster'.

Horror Movie Concept
Set in deep, dense forestation, our horror movie concept includes four teenagers (2 boys and 2 girls), all who venture out to a mythically haunted area of East Anglia, looking to disturb the unknown and have a bit of fun. On their trek into the forest they come across numerous markings on trees and hanging religious symbols all signs of a mass marked perimeter.
Their decision to go on this trip (lead by one powering individual who seems to have a single minority vote) all comes from the discovery of a book, full of myths and legends as they flick through until they come to one page stating ‘the east Anglia terror of 1865’, they giggle yet one member of the group has heard of this myth and says ‘my grandfather is always telling me about it ever since I was a child’. Still not sure whether they believe the myth or not, they plan their weekend away.
All lying to their parents, saying there staying round each other’s; away they go in their two cars towards Thetford forest, following an unregistered map. After hours into the forest, believed to be lost, they ask a dog walker if he/she knows of this myth, he/she replies ‘go home, go away, you shouldn’t be here, nobody should’. Soon later they find the area, spooked out a bit; they go in for a closer look into the dense area.
With a handheld camera ready to capture ‘the haunted’, there now up against something they couldn’t ever imagined. The film is not filmed with a handheld camera; the camera will be from the audiences 3rd person prospective. Although within the footage the teenagers will be seen filming their own ‘homemade footage’.
In this forest there is no certain route.

Individual Pitch for a Horror Movie
LOCATION: Lake District, England.
CHARACTERS: 4 MEN, 4 WOMEN (Aged between 21-24)
ANTAGONIST: Spiritual possesion.
NARRATIVE;
The film would follow the life's of eight close friends fresh out of University. After completing their degree's they look for an adventure before going off into the real world of work. One of the group members, male 1 (unknown name as of yet), is highly interested in the spiritual world of angels and demons. So with the group still unsure where they want to go, he suggests they go to the national park, The Lake District, but not anywhere on the park's map of attractions and favourite spots.
Without telling the rest of the group, male 1 leads the group to the distinctive but barely walked location deep in the forestation of The Lake District. The rest of the group become suspicous of their location but carry on, however male 1 calms those peoples nerves stating that he has been here on many occasions, which is clearly a lie due to his on-going gazing around, as if he hasn't seen none of this before, which is true.
As they near the location their destined for, suddenly another male goes missing, and from this point the rest of group remain scared and on edge, and land numerous questions to male 1, who firstly states 'a lot has changed since i was younger' however he eventually admits to have never been there before, before showing the group a book which would reveal what is going on around them.
As their fear builds, so does the attacks and scares. With no explanation, a few group members believe it's someone in the group and inparticular male 1. The groups strength of numbers suddenly falls apart and the group splits into 3 groups and leaving male 1 on his own.
The groups get killed and the final protagonist, female 1 and another male have no choice but to believe in male 1 not being the killer due to his convincing expressions of being scared. However this is just to gain the trust of female 1, as he then leads female 1 and the other male further into the forest, before male 1 then kills the other male, revealing to female 1 that he is the killer (antagonist).
However female 1 manages to escape from male 1 and finds her way back to a safe location, before falling over and knocking herself out. When she awakes from 'her fall' she is back in the mini-bus with all of her friends again. She realises it was all just a dream. She thinks it was just a terrible dream, however as she looks over to male 1's bag which is half open she recognizes the book from the dream and freaks out, however the mini-bus has already gone 30 miles into the forest and won't turn back. The group think she's just having one of her fits, but a really bad one, so they decide to carry on. At this point the movie would then come to a finish, leaving the audience unanswered but left to imagine what would come next, maybe they would be alright? or maybe fate has come upon them.
