After we’d completed our audience research and compared our mood boards, we had to make an extended step outline which included the exact details of our film for example the location and the basic story line. We were able to create this narrative outline by basing the details on the results we gathered from our audience research. For example, the Facebook page and the audience research survey.

From putting forward the idea for our thriller in the survey and gaining a mostly positive response from our target audience, (females aged 16-25), we decided to use our original idea. The basis of our story is that a girl is walking alone from a party and is looking at her phone, not paying attention, then ends up in  forest. She then begins to feel as though she is being watched by a presence and tries to get away however, this unidentified figure begins chasing after her and the mystery or enigma at the end is whether she escapes, or is confronted by her mysterious follower.

We altered bits of our narrative outline based explicitly on the audience responses in the survey. For example, a high percentage of people said they’d enjoy an action thriller, however,  around 80% of the participants said they’d enjoy a thriller with a supernatural element therefore we may decided that our unidentified figure could bear resemblance to either a werewolf or a vampire. They all also expected to feel tense and intrigued during a thriller so we also had to take this into account when detailing our narrative outline.
