New ideas and storyline

When merging our groups we decided to take on a different storyline that still contained elements of each group's original premise. Working with a basic overview of the structure of the trailer we wanted to delve deeper into the characters to gain a wider understanding of the story line and how it should be in order to give the actual trailer depth and meaning.

We liked the theme of dreams from our original premise as we felt it carried lots of connotations that would compliment the horror genre. 

We wanted a more in depth character profile for the antagonist that way we gain a more fuller understanding and when it comes to casting the antagonist they themselves understand their character better and are able to act accordingly thus making our trailer seem more real; therefore scary, more professional and overall more interesting.

We then went on to do the same for our protagonist only this time we focused more on looks and personality as we all had in mind an expectation of the character, we wanted her to adhere to the horror convention that is a submissive vulnerable teacher and the easiest way to convey this is through non verbal codes, for example her clothing, pale simple clothes almost washes her out making her seem all the more vulnerable and fragile. We also wanted an in depth character profile in order to have an in depth portrayal of the character when it comes to filming. 

We then went on to plan the scenes in order to have a good idea of where to start when filming and also in order to organise ourselves so we could be as efficient as possible when filming, and also if we are within schedule we may have extra time to experiment and make variations of different scenes this will help for a more enriched production.
