Storyline - reconstructed

First Draft.
After the denial of permission from the hospital that we had planned on filming at, we had to reconstruct our storyline. We began to film scenes of our actors preparing to go somewhere haunted, but we were not pleased with the footage, feeling that it was too slow, with too much dialogue and did not have the creepy atmosphere that we had hoped for.

Alternative location.
We found another filming location that had much more diversity and could fit well with our genre of trailer. The following storyline was one that we based around the filming location and is the final storyline for our trailer.

Structure.
The trailer is split into two half's, both with different feelings, shots, structures and music to make the audience feel a mixture of emotions. The First contains slow, creepy music, with relatively bright shots, to create a slow building of tension and unease. The Second is much fast, with vastly darker, more graphic shots to make the audience quickly feel scared and horrified.

Final Storyline - Part One.
A group of teenagers, who appear to just be on an outing in the woods (which is filled with ruins) walk around aimlessly, lost and scared. A mysterious, masked figure is scene in the background of these shots. The words (Curiosity... Got the better of them appears on the screen) and as the trailer progresses, people begin to be kidnapped by the mysterious figure, unknown to the protagonist of the story, who is aware of the presence and is trying to locate his friends, while trying not to gain attention from the kidnapper.

Final Storyline - Part Two.
There is an establishing shot of a strange house, connoting that the masked man has taken the victims there. Suddenly, the pace of the trailer is completely transformed as trailer suddenly becomes fast paced and intense, with fast music and half second shots of people being tortured, this will scare the audience because of it's direct contrast to the slow, steady first half of the trailer.
