A boy of about 17/18 years old sits in school. There is a mysterious, gothic girl sitting across the room from him. He has previously made several attempts to win her affections but she doesn't appear interested. This day, he tries to win her over again, and she thinks it over. She asks him why he wants to be with her. When he's unable to give a coherent answer, she asks him if he would give his life for her. He says he would. She then tells him to meet her on the suspension bridge near the woods later that day, and leaves without getting a response.
That evening, the boy goes to meet the girl at the bridge, as she'd said. He's clearly nervous, unsure as to what to say or do. She's not there at first, and he starts to think that she isn't going to turn up. He turns to leave when he hears his name. He turns around to see the girl standing there, wearing all black. She says she's taking him to a party and turns to walk away. The boy follows her. They walk some way into the woods, and he hears music from the party. He walks through the trees to see a gathering of about 10 people, around his age, all dressed in black. There is a fire and a couple of them are cooking some meat on it. The boy doesn't recognize the smell and ask what they're cooking. All the figures around the fire look up and he discovers that they're all wearing masks. He turns to the girl and she glances to a leg, half obscured by the tree. He realizes what's going on a starts to run. The masked characters chase after him and it ends with him tripping and the others closing in on him.
I think that this idea is far more interesting the previous one and would provide a much more interesting narrative. This is probably the idea that I will develop.
Strive to make your blog multimedia - especially visual - from the outset; if this scenario reminds you of any movies, include an image and flag it up.
ReplyDeleteAlso, ensure you make your idea/s explicit - is this implying cannibalism? Its not clear unless you expressly say so.
There is a scene within the opening 10-20mins of Oliver Stone's "The Doors" which might make interesting viewing, also episode 4 of season 3 Heroes (both suicide/tempting fate). I have them both if you don't.

You're an easy (mostly!) choice as a Gifted and Talented student, but don't lose sight of the importance of the PROCESS (and the timely evidencing of this), artificial or not, in getting to your end product - you should be aiming for a top end mark with this.
