All three of my Ideas are within the Horror genre and have ideas related to that:
Idea 1-
Characters: Brunette Virgin/sensible girl type such as (Rumor Willis in sorority row) , Blonde flirty outgoing girl type such as (Paris Hilton in the house of wax), One couple girl and boy such as ( Omar Epps and Jada Pinkett in Scream 2)And the jokey/class clown type male such as one of the most famous example (Seann William Scott in American Pie)
Young cast of people, both male and female. This is easy to get as are within reach of my own friendship groups and have contacts. It is set in the late evening, on the brink of darkness (darkness/nightime) signifies typical old school horror. They go camping on the moors/woods..could use bluebell woods in ilkley or ilkley moor and the cow and calf rocks(equilibrium). Alot of alcohol and drugs are invloved whilst camping and alot of them become out of control and oblivious to any danger. What they are not aware of is there is a masked murderer (stalker of group of young people) who is mentaly disturbed and seeking to get revenge on the group after an earlier encouter with them a few years before(disequilibrium). Morning comes and the survivor is rescued by the police services (new equilibrium).
What i could include in first few miniutes: Opening Credits, shot of masked face, images of the group of people laughing/general banter setting up camp. then music quickens and evening turns into nightime, shows shots of drinking then turns into screaming/running away. Suddenly shot of campsite but completley silent to signify abandenment. The title of film then appears.

Shrooms (use of drugs/alchol and involvement of young people) Shrooms Trailer2007 Director:Pearce Elliott.
Friday 13th (masked killer and storyline) Friday 13th Trailer 1980 Director:Victor Miller.
Scream (masked killer and involvement of young cast) Scream Trailer 1996 Director:Kevin Williamson.
Idea 2-
Characters- group of young girls about 5 of them, all 16 years olds. All have a fairly typical teenage/girly and gossipy image. Privileged backgrounds, Middle class. Such as (The girls of sorority row)
Plot- group of young girls having a night in/slumber party at their friends house, they stay up late and act like stereotypical teenagers which is the equilibrium.They tell scary stories and one of the stories is about a young group of girls in their similar situation, one of the girls walks home in the dark and is attacked,No parents are in and they have the house to themselves, it is set at nightime and the house is set in a quiet town. Ironicaly one of the teenage girls feels unwell and decides to leave for him, walking home by herself as she only lives a few blocks away, she makes the wrong descion and is followed by a large/bulky man who attacks her then moves on to the house full of her friends where a terrifying night evolves, the dis-equilibrium. However one of the girls finaly catch the killer and manages to kill him resulting in a new eqilibrium.
What i could include in the first few minutes: Shows the girls telling the scary story of themselves being in that situation, then in reality one of the girls actualy leaving and the other girls telling her not to. A shot of her walking home and being attacked, then a few shots of the other girls hearing noises and seeing flashing images across the window. title of film in blood red letters.
Films that have influenced idea:
Sorority Row(use of cast and related to some idea in storyline) Sorority Row Trailer 2009 Director:Stewart Hendler.
Halloween(People in house get killed same ideas from storyline)Halloween Trailer2007 Director:Rob Zombie.
Idea 3- Characters: Cast in their late teens/early twenties (main characters) however some other older characters are invloved. such as the cast of (shrooms)
Plot:More social realism invloved, set in a club, loud music and adults everywhere (equilibrium).Set in an inner city (Leeds or Bradford could be used as location). A disturbed killer is set on the loose in the club who carries a knife and stabs several people for unexplained circumstances (disequilibrium), the mystery evolves into the club owner being the murderer and keeping his victims in the back room of his club, found out by the police (newequilibrium).
Films that have influenced idea:
This is England(use of social realism ideas)This is England Trailer2006 Director: Shane Meadows.
Club Dread(use of club scene/storyline/mise en scene)Club Dread Trailer2004 Director: Jay Chandrasekhar.
The Idea i have chosen to present in class is idea 1, it is more accesible in terms of location, cast and resources. I have more inspiration leading towards this idea from other films and the surrounding i have around me such as Ilkley moor and the the woods, and i think people will relate to this idea more than the others as a young cast is involved and i included realistic issues such as drinking, partying and drug use.
