Group Planning

As a group we decided to meet up 2 times a week in a free periods to complete our Final Film Plot and our Story Board. All four members contributed well and gave good ideas into the plot of our film and helped creating our story board. 

Final Group Plot

Beginning

A group of four friends find a girls diary in the library who appears to have been bullied, they read it and recognise a name written which is Holly’s neighbour, Mrs Kynch so go to see her as the diary ends in 1927 when she was 16. They ask the woman about a girl named Mary (owner of the diary) she goes silent and tells them to leave. They then see a news report about teenage hangings in the woods mentioned in the diary nearby them so Connor (the arrogant one) says that they should all go and camp in the woods as a dare with head cams to see whether there is anything strange going on there.

Middle

They walk quite a while to get to the woods (with their head cams on) Sophie (the scared one) stays nervously behind everyone scared and claims she saw a flash of white between the trees but the others just say it was her imagination. They then set up camp and as it’s getting dark Sophie and Tom go to get some fire wood. As they’re collecting sticks and talking Sophie suddenly goes silent, Tom looks around shouting her name, but she’s no where to be seen. Tom runs back to camp and tells the other two that Sophie has gone missing but Connor doesn’t believe him and thinks they’re just playing a prank. The three go looking away from camp until Connor turns around and walks into Sophie who has been hung he falls back freaked out crawling back as fast as possible. The three stare at her dead body scared to ‘death’. Holly goes to ring her parents but realise they have no signal this far from home and decide it would be more dangerous to try and find their way back so they go back to the tents and try to sleep.

End

The next morning they wake up and Connor is gone, they open the tent zip and outside they see his body hanging from a rope in the tree. They realise that they left their head cameras on so replay the footage and see a girl come into the tent and take Connor. Holly gets the diary out and figures out that the girl on the video is Mary the diary’s owner. She flicks through the pages and sees new writing after it had ended when they last looked which states Sophie and Connors death at the precise time they died and after that they see Toms name and his death from the future but in 17 minutes and soon after Holly’s predicted death. Both freak out as they realise the diary is predicting the future so they try and find their way out but keep coming back to the same place. They start hearing chimes in the wind and a quiet voice singing. As they are running Holly trips and the book falls out her hand just as Tom is suddenly about to be hung he shouts ‘you need to write her death in the diary’. Holly manages to grab the dairy but not in enough time to save Tom. She then quickly writes “Mary’s death” looks up and Mary has gone and there is a silence in the woods as she sits there crying until Mrs Kynch finds her and takes her home explaining that Mary didn’t directly kill her friends she just was trying to make friends but was mistaken for seeking revenge. 

Horror Story Idea

Set in a town just after the summer holidays. After the summer holiday everyone has gone back to school and there is a rumour going around the whole school that people from their school went camping during the summer in the woods just outside of the town. The whole story is a mystery as some people believe it and others just say the group just have dropped out of school.

During lunchtime two groups of sixth formers start arguing. One of the groups bet the other group that they are too scared to camp in the woods just outside of town. Both groups bet they can last longer so they go together and fifteen (sixteen to eighteen year old) kids camp within the woods.

The two groups (eleven guys, four girls) try and play pranks on each other trying to scare one another and try to get them to leave the wood and lose the bet. As three of the guys get more and more scared they start to go slightly crazy. They start to lose their minds and begin to get obsessed with killing and start to think they need to kill the rest of the group (three killers).

The killers start to kill of each person one by one, the groups get more scared as people begin to go missing (three people are now killers, and four people have been killed) They forget which way they came into the woods so they split into two groups (four people in each group) to escape the woods to make sure they survive.

They are chased through the night by their crazed friends who are trying to kill them. When they think they are getting closer to the end of the woods they realise more have gone missing (three people have been killed). They bump into the other group that went in the opposite direction who have also lost people (only five people are left, two girls and three guys). They realise they have been going in circles and set on for survival again, together.

They remaining survivors hide out in an abandoned lodge they found in the woods. They become surrounded by the three crazed friends. As they barricade the lodge they find a map of the woods and realise they are close to the end of the woods and close to survival.

Their crazed friends find ways into the lodge and the survivors have to kill them to survive. They kill one of the crazed friends and make their last run for survival (two killers are left and another two kids have been killed). 

The three survivers get closer to the end and three of the fifteen kids escape the woods. But the two killers are still out there, somewhere in the woods.
