Individual narrative ideas- Miss Georgiou

Narrative ideas

The narrative is important because it tells the audience the background story of a film. It also makes the film have a meaning. Without the narrative the film would be confusing to the audience because they wouldn't know what was going on. The narrative keeps the film together and stops the storyline from going off track. Thriller narratives should have a tense opening sequence to grab the audience and pull them into the film straight away.

Narrative

I have come up with a narrative about an old eery forest which has had some weird unexplained happenings occur in it. A group of friends take a trip to the forest for a day out and they suddenly become trapped and in danger. The forest plays with your mind and makes you confused and lost really easily. There is also a dark cloaked figure constantly lurking amongst the trees, spying on people that enter the forest. There have been constant sightings of this figure and some even say he follows you when you leave the forest. 10 people have suddenly disappeared over the course of two years. 

My opening sequence will consist of 3 friends going to the forest to try and find out what all the fuss is about. After one girl spots the dark figure in the corner of her eye they leave thinking that it was just her imagination going wild. She returns home haunted by her experience and goes to bed trying to forget about it. She later wakes to find that she is back in the forest. Scared and confused she tries to find her way out but she ends up encountering the figure again. This time she doesn't  escape. She becomes the 11th person to go missing. The opening sequence the ends with a close up of the dark figure with just his face showing. 

Im going to share this idea with my group and discuss the advantages and disadvantages with it. This is so we can have the best idea possible.
