The narrative structure consists of four male eighteen year olds who have finished their exams and begin a trip to ‘Sunny Hill’ beach and spend their nights on the yellow sand inside their tents. Along with their camping gear, small boxes of alcohol are taken along to lift high spirits.
The journey was a long and tiring one causing some characters to fall asleep in the vehicle. Suddenly they all jerked forward, along with seat belts tightening when the car arrived at a halt. The group all thought they had hit a deer, as it was a pitch black canvas in front. In fact, a puncture was the issue caused by a sharp object. All the characters were exhausted and peered over some bushes to find a forest in the distance to camp until morning. Bal who had a camera began to film his friends and the previous incident, having the urge to film everything. The group then decided to camp for the night but come across signs saying ‘no trespassing’. With four slightly drunken teenagers ignored the signs and climbed over the fence, inflicting a few bruises and scratches from the barbed wire on top of the fence.
As they began to set up camp Bal sees a strange figure amongst the trees through his camera. He tries to zoom in but is called by Ralph to help him set up his tent. He turns back around to focus in but seem to have a different perception of his initial visual scene. He tells the rest of the group what he thought he had seen but in an immature response, most of them ignored and laughed. After tents were all set up and positioned around the bushy area, they all began to gather firewood to build a fire. One of the boys brought a lighter and lit the twigs and bits of tissue to entice the fire. After a few minutes they all sat around the fire on logs and started to tell ghost stories. Little did they know knew, they were all in one.
The fire began to die out and made Ralph order Saif to collect some more fire wood. Saif gave a subtle sigh but arose above from where he had been sitting and walked into the darkness to gather the wo0d. Meanwhile the other three members, Ralph, Bal and Josh were just casually talking and saying how relieved they all were that they had finished their exams. Suddenly a loud scream came about and disturbed the tranquil atmosphere. The three of them went scampering into the bush, calling Saif to come out and stop horsing around. As time dragged on, those shouts turned into cries of ‘Saif, where are you?’ Along with Bal’s camera Ralph and Josh stood close but Bal suddenly fell and appeared to have stumbled on what was thought to be a log. It was Saif’s body left in a bloody mess. The group were shocked, stunned and devastated but above all they all panicked and ran straight back to the camp site. Only to find their tents and belongs to be tampered with and thrown around.
Josh then saw a tainted individual in the bush a few feet away from where he was standing. He approached in a weary and cautious manner and suddenly a huge axe split his head right down the middle. This quick bloody incident was observed Ralph, Bal and his camera. They both ran for the fence but in the drastic situation both students became separated from each other and were on their own in the pitch black darkness along with some strange hostile figure that was after them.
Ralph ended up running through a nearby cemetery. He came across a church which was found to be locked but was confronted with the killer which began the chase again. Footsteps changed to rapid speeds of pace from Ralph and the killer. The sound of the antagonist’s swinging bat became stronger and stronger, as opposed to Ralph’s speed. As Ralph was about to give up he saw that the killer was not behind him. He then turned, slowly. Crack and a series of bone crunching sounds arose from the killer’s bat.
The loud cries of agony were hear by Bal who was lost feeling petrified and looking for the fence shaking from the fear of death. Bal searched and searched and yet all seemed loss but the large fence was there in sight. Bal ran for it. The distance between the fence and him seemed an eternity but he made it to the silver barricade. He started to climb and accidently dropped the camera but half way he was grabbed by a hooded figure. Bal tried to fight him off. He was overpowered. Soon before Bal could even cry for help, a loud sickening thud echoed the forest, with the killer dragging the bat and the corpse behind him.
One week later the students were reported missing and one month later their corpses were found, lying next to each other with the colour of red bathed upon them. Inspectors and officials notified their senior staff and the student’s parents who were all sitting in a room. The police also discovered a video camera, which they all watched together.
Throughout the group, we all agreed on a strong narrative structure. Although we all have the same idea for the narrative structure, I manipulated mine to create a professional aspect in my media task linking to my trailer.
From analysing my narrative structure, there are several elements of where sound plays a vital role, such as when the killer is chasing and killing his victims. As a result I will make sure I will use sufficient sound in my trailer to add intensity towards the audience, enhancing the horror genre.
