Group Narrative- Miss Georgiou

In my group there is myself, Tyler Osman and Mikaeel Khaliq.

My group narrative:

My idea of a narrative for a new thriller film is a teenage girl has an argument with her boyfriend, causing him to walk off to go a get his car from the car park so he can go home. The girl goes after him but is too late. The car park is dark and deserted with no one around. As she stands in the middle of the car park alone, crying, she notices a tall figure standing in the way of the exit. She soon realises that it is a man who she often sees looking at her regularly; like a stalker. She starts to become panicked as there is no exit apart from the one he stands in. She pulls out her phone to call for help but has no service, leaving her unable to reach anyone. She decides to risk walking out of the dark car park without acknowledging him, however he grabs her and threatens her with a knife and says she is to go with him otherwise she will die.

advantages:
  • There are 3 characters, therefore each member of the group would have time on screen.
  • Enigma is incorporated into the scenes
  • Conventions of a thriller are included

disadvantages:
  • the torture scene may be hard to create 
  • May give too much away for an opening sequence 

Group member 2: 

Farmhouse into oblivion 
A thriller in which the family that mysteriously went missing in a secluded farmhouse, in which a group of sixth form students (aged 16-17) go out to investigate the structure to see if they can find the origins of the disappearance. The protagonist of the film would be one of the group members, who will receive the most screen time (antagonist undecided)
advantages: 
  •  Included conventions of a thriller 
disadvantages: 
  • antagonists not specified
  • there isn't 3 characters
  • Location might be hard to find
Group member 3:
  • Forest
  • low key lighting
  • killer might have a mask
  • urban myth that a killer lives in the forest
  • group of teenagers
  • wanting to explore the urban myth
  • all sneak out of house at night 
  • decide to meet at forest 
  • all explore the forest
  • they think its not true 
  • they hear some rustling 
  • start to get a little scared but brush it off
  • then killer comes running out 
  • briefly show him with the handheld camera
  • they all start to run back 
  • screaming and shouting
  • end  
advantages:
  • Conventional to a thriller film: for example the location 
  • Location would be easy to access 

disadvantages:
  • May need more people to fill all characters needed 

Final group narrative 
A teenage girl has an argument with her boyfriend, causing him to walk off to go a get his car from the car park so he can go home. The girl goes after him but is too late. The car park is dark and deserted with no one around. As she stands in the middle of the car park alone, crying, she notices a tall figure standing in the way of the exit. She soon realises that it is a man who she often sees looking at her regularly; like a stalker. She starts to become panicked as there is no exit apart from the one he stands in. She pulls out her phone to call for help but has no service, leaving her unable to reach anyone. She decides to risk walking out to one of the exits and notices that the strange man behind starts to follow, she gradually starts to increase the pace of her walking as she starts to panic.Eventually when the pressure and suspense builds up she decides to start running with the killer behind her holding a knife, there is an entrance to the forest which she decides to enter in order to try and escape. The chase carries on within the forest however the female trips and tries to hide although the killer sees her and runs at her but then the scene cuts.

  1. This post demonstrates some group planning and discussions. It is clear that you and your group have started to consider the strengths and weakness of each narrative contribution from each group member.

    Now you need to include the correct narrative theory to complete this post and to show further group planning and discussions.
