Plot Idea

We gathered as a group to discuss our ideas on what our trailer should be like. We discussed the genre and contents of the trailer plus a plot for the film as a whole.

We came to the conclusion that we wanted to do a Christmas Horror that seemed like a fairytale. We wanted to make it feel dark and used 'Pans Labyrinth' as our base for the fairytale look of the film. The main film we will be looking at will be 'Black Christmas' as it is very similar to our idea.

We decided to call our film 'Silent Night', we thought this was a very good idea because it doesn't make the genre obvious to the audience, it also relates to the Christmas theme we wanted.

We discussed the narrative, we decided to have the trailer mainly as a child being told a story by his/her older brother/sister. We thought that having children as the victims would give the narrative a very dark feel to it. The idea behind the killer is that he is crazy and comes out every Christmas to go on a killing spree due to a bad even that had happened previously.
