Group Narrative
Devante's Narrative
The main story is that 7 random people all get an invitation to go to a celebration of a mysterious character at their house at 11pm on Saturday night.
They all go to the enclosed address and meet up outside the huge, bright, white mansion (anti-conventional). They all look at each other and start talking and end up finding out that none of them know about this mysterious character.
The door slowly opens (hear the locks being undone slowly, and the door opens slowly without revealing a person until it's been full opened), after being fully opened the butler walks to them from the side and welcomes them in.
Inside everything was bright and white set up with comfortable sofas, food, music etc... Whilst they were helping themselves to the food the butler disappears. After gathering their food they all sat down and started eating, all but one person... Everyone who ate felt dizzy and passed out. The one person that was left conscious panicked and ran straight to the door, turned the handle and immediately the floor gave way and he fell into an endless abbys.
Later on every one awakes (1am) and everything is different (setting will be described in conventions).
Long story short - They end up going through this huge house and in different rooms there are things awaiting them and one by one they end up getting killed off until one person is left and he sees the twisted, disgusting creature with a flash of lightning. There's a laugh and a scream at the end followed by a voice over...
Positives:
- Good unknown location
- Mysterious passive character
Negatives:
- Needs an insentive to kill
- Will need to jump in faster for the opening to keep audience interested
Jordan's Narrative

Positives:
- Very consistent with the modern theme of films
- Should be a good sense of fear for the audience watching it
Negatives:
-
Positives:

Negatives:
-
There may need more character build up so we appreciate the importance of the deaths
- Needs to be explained that if some of the group don't understand what is happening, why are they packing up?
My Narrative
A woman is tied up in an old deserted place, and is seen to be trying to wriggle out. She escapes the unknown captor and proceeds to run through the woods to get away. The menace chases her, and after a while hunts her down. Leaving an unexplained mystery as to why she has been killed, and what got her in this position.
We leave the scene with the killer walking away from the body, lying on the ground, but with a possession of hers in his hand, her pendant. The body is left on the fringe of the forest, where it can be easily found, but this appears to not matter.
Group Narrative - Combined Ideas
Key: Jordan Jamie Devante
(If colours overlay, it means both people were responsible for that idea)
1)Mysterious man drops letter somewhere and a group of people pick it up and it tells them that there's a celebration (of sombody that they all know) leaving an address.

2)They get to the abandoned place and the door slowly opens and they walk in and one of the people get taken away without them realising.
3)Get to the hall and see the missing person, approach her and see that she's not OK and that she's twitching.She jumps at one of them and one of them get a gun and shoot her off. The woman's left on the floor dead.
4)Find another piece of paper on the floor telling them that they're all test subjects, see the person behind them smiling.
5)She turns, the screen goes black and after a 2second pause there's a scream and the title come up
6)(Mad man injects people with liquid to zombify them)

As a group we decided that it would be more convenient, and more effective to change our narrative. The Narrative that included the zombies seemed to stray too far away from the thriller genre, and it would also be too complicated and unrealistic, with too many characters being lead into a very unlikely place with an anonymous party invite.
New Group Narrative:
1) Starts with a woman tied to a chair in the corner of a trashed, burnt out room
2) Unidentifiable menace appears on screen and 'communicates' with her
3) Villain then leaves the room again and proceeds to a board with pictures of past victims. He then burns the picture of the current captive
4) Victim escapes from the chair, and runs into the forest
5) She then screams for help, as things start to become hopeless
6) She then turns to see the villain is behind her
This post shows more evidence of group planning and this is because you have considered the advantages and disadvantages of each group member. You just need to include the codes and conventions of a thriller and discuss how the group narrative is conventional.
