One friend come back after going back from toilet saying that he just saw a girl who looks possessed in the woods.They then start  recording what they see if a funny moment when their friend freaking out . However, when they go to investigate they find that there is only one of the girls in groups expensive bracelet that she thought  see lost when see was a child in a dream. see turns round to friends to confirm what she has just seen. When she tells them the story of her horrific dream as a child. unconvinced of her story they turn back to their hangout in the woods, this is when the hear a snap of twig although no one is around. looking down to see the bracket has disappeared. further on in their journey back to their hangout they see an outline of what looks like a teenage girl and in her right hand was the bracket they had seen moments ago.

Codes and conventions of a horror film that feature within my open two minutes

One very popular setting of horror films are woods and dark places, this is where the whole of my open two minutes are set. I have done this as i feel that setting the open two minutes in a mysterious  place sets out the film itself to be seen to the viewer as mysterious, meaning that it created excitement to watch the film unfold. The villain of a horror film can often be someone who is possessed. This is the villain in my film and is very popular to the target audience of horror films.
Vulnerable girls and drunken youths can be seen as a stereotype within the horror genre as its clear to see that this would be the start to a horrific and scary story so i feel this would be the perfect start to my film.

Possible settings 
The setting we are hoping to archive is the darkness filled woods with a few candles and beer cans scattered across the floor. I am hoping this will help show the current light and fun situation that quickly turns dark and horrific when the story line unfolds.

Character List 

Chris: 
A 18 year old boy, he is the farther of the group as he protects them and ensures they are all safe. As the action starts he is the one who tries to keep everyone calm and safe and is the one everyone turns to.
Alex :
Alex is younger than Chris and is the first person to see the possessed girl. He is seen by everyone watching the film as slightly vulnerable and is in need of comfort after seeing the possessed girl.

Beth: 
Beth is the first victim of the possessed girl in the movie. She is freaked out by her missing bracelet that is now found, she then is lost from the group and later found dead.

Harriet: 
Harriet is in this scene two subvert the stereotype of women. she is brave strong and takes a leading role on side with Chris.

Brandy:
Brandy is the shy one within the group although she is present in the scene she doesn't say anything but shows good body language that she is scared.

Elvira: 
This means mistress of the dark that really portrays her character that is a girl who is possessed and full of evil.

Suggested prop list:
Beat speaker where the youths play their music, bear cans scattered across the floor. lightly lit candles, bracelet, outfits of characters.

Opening shot 
The opening shot of the scene will be an extreme wide shot to show the full extent of the mise-en-scence i am trying to portray with in the film.

Mise-en-scene:
The settings of my film will be at a dark forest. there will be bear cans scatted across the floor and lightly light candles. The body language of the cast changes from confident to scared and vulnerable.
