Research and Planning: Initial Group Meeting

Synopsis
A young girl hears someone/thing fall down the stairs in her home. Leaving her room to see what happened, her father was standing at the top of the stairs and told her to return to her room.
A few days later, the girl's mother hasn't been seen and her father tells the girl that her mother has gone away on a work do.
Appox. 2 days later the young girl's mother's body has been discovered by the girl. Her father realises the body has been seen by her and flees the house, leaving the girl behind. The girl is then put into care and develops into an unusual member of the home, encouraging others to bully her. 
After leaving the home, her mental state deteriorates and she starts to seek vengeance to men that have similar characteristics to her father, murdering them in various different ways (and either taking or leaving something).
She regularly has flashbacks to time when she was with her father, a man who we eventually learn sexually abused her and hit her mother. Flashback also go back to when the girl led a difficult life.
The various male murders lead out main character to her father, resulting in his death. The film ends on a cliffhanger as we don't know if she continues killing or if she gets caught. 

Character Profiles

Setting
Present time, flashback happen in the 1980's. Set in a suburban town, at various times of the day but mainly during the evening/night. 

Audience Info
The primary audience for our film is aged 16-25 years old and are demographically classed as C1,C2 OR D class citizens. In terms of psychographic profiles, the primary audience for our film may enjoy dramas on television and horror films. They are also likely to be up to date with technology and wear fashionable clothing. The secondary audience would be 25-35 year olds and it could possibly appeal to a more female/feminist audience due to our main character.

Idea for Original Horror Trailer.

My idea for a horror film revolves around a seaside town, where people who have been swimming too far out to sea have been going missing. A small group of people decide to investigate by taking a boat out to where it is thought most people go missing and to spend a night there. Whilst on the boat they go through torment along the lines of holes being put in the bottom and along the sides. A few of the crew also get taken down by these 'mer-people' as they are standing along the sides. It ends up becoming a stand off between the final survivor and a few of the mer-people who have jumped on board the ship, but obviously, the mer-people aren't in their element so the survivor gets rid of them and starts to sail off. However, before the credits roll, a cut of a mer-person hiding and peering at the survivor is shown.
