During this lesson we presented our synopsis to our teacher. we were told that our plot of the young outcasted girl wanting to be apart of a social clique and then killing her enemies sounded a lot like the film 'Carrie' and our interpretation of it sounded more like a teen slasher and didn't sound like a horror.

We then pitched our idea to the professional Kate Hardie. We told her what our teacher had told us previously about our trailer sounding more like a teen slasher than a horror trailer.

Kate advised us to firstly really think about the protagonist that we were creating, as we would want the audience to connect with the character and not hate her when they are first introduced to her. After hearing this information we began to think deeper about our protagonist and how we wanted her to be portrayed in our trailer.

We then told her our narrative behind the trailer. She explained to us that we need to think of our narrative more as it wasn't making sense.

 

So we went away as a group and thought deeply about our synopsis, so that it would relate to the horror genre and make sense to the audience.
