Research Findings and Initial Idea

Research doc:
From all our research findings, our sub genre was concluded to be a Horror and Action. Our target audience will also be 18; therefore the certificate of this film would be 18. We chose to have a psychotic killer in our thriller, as from our research our target audience prefer that in a thriller. This will appeal to them even more. Also for my initial idea I have given a complex story line where she has a different background to others and she doesn’t have any friends or family, which makes her even more psycho. Also we added tension and suspense on how the 3 bullies think she is dead but she isn’t. As our sub genre consists on action, during the killing parts, there would be a lot of adrenaline and exaggeration which keeps the audience gripped to the screen. The Thriller would end with a cliff hanger as most of our audience prefer it to end that way other than it being resolved.


Initial Idea:
A girl called Raegan was adopted and she is very different to everyone else, she has never fitted in with anyone and a loner. At the age of 16 she is at school where 3 girls Katie, Lisa, and Blair have always bullied her. There then is a school camping trip for geography and they start making fun of her and hurt her physically without anyone knowing and threaten her not to tell anyone. Raegan has had enough and she punches Blair, but she doesn’t know how big of a mistake that was. After when everyone is sleeping, the 3 bullies go to her tent and grab her and drag her to the inner woods. After they start punching, kicking her, calling her names such as "Raegan the Retard" (they call her that because she is weird and psycho). The 3 girls then get carried away and push her down a steep hill as she lands into a rocky river, thinking she died. They act like nothing ever happened. No one notices she is missing as she is never noticed by anyone. She ends up in a mental hospital because people think she is mad talking about how girls can kill her like that. Whilst she is in the mental hospital she becomes a lot more psycho and hunts the girls down to kill them one by one. 2 years later the girls are at college, and things start to heat up where they think they are seeing Raegan everywhere they go. What they don’t know is that she is still alive. She stalks them all the time. One day when they are walking home, she stops in front of the girls they start to run, as they chase them into a forest. Then Lisa trips over a log and Raegan grabs her leg and starts to pull her until they see a car drive and stop. Raegan disappears and then the car stops and drives off,
Lisa runs after the car, sits and puts the belt on she turns her head to the right and see’s Reagan sitting in the driver’s seat with a bomb. Raegan locks the door as she lets herself out. She triggers the bomb watching and taking a video on how Lisa is burnt alive suffering.


Blair and Katie are the two that are left in the forest alone. They see a small house in which Katie thinks they should go in. Blair thinks it’s a bad idea and runs off. Raegan then gets boiling water from the house and burns Katie’s face whilst taking a video of it. She then gets a sharp knife slaughtering each body part to watch her suffer and strangles her with a tight rope. Still the video is rolling of Katie suffering.


Blair is the last of the girls, as she is trying to find her way out, and Raegan chases her into the graveyard as she punches and hurts and kicks and cuts her face with a knife. As Blair is suffering in pain Reagan buries Blair alive. The camera then turns to Reagan’s face as she starts to laughs in a psycho way and says "now we can all be together”. The camera then cuts to a blank screen.
