Individual Narrative

My idea for the narrative would be about a group of teenage girls playing a board game. It then turns sinister as whoever loses in the game, gets killed outside of the game. Once the girls realise what is happening, they all decide to stop playing, so that no one else dies. They look it the rulebook and it tells them that if they don’t play, it will come back and get them when they least expect it. The girls ignore the rulebook and one of the girls hides it in their loft. Then, 20 years the girl’s parents are moving and she finds the game and decides to throw it away. She puts it outside and doesn’t realise that her teenager daughter has picked it up and taken it. She then takes it to a sleepover where they play the game and they get involved.

For my two minutes sequence, the first scene will be the three girls agreeing to never play the game again and talking about the other girls dying. I will show the mother panicking, swearing and running to put the board game outside to put it the pile to throw away. Then when she goes back into the loft, the game will fall off the pile and fall into the middle of the hallway. We will see her teenager daughter come, pick up the game and laugh. Her younger brother will ask her why she is laughing and she will explain that she is going to give it to her friend as a joke present at her birthday sleepover.

To make my narrative conventional, I have made sure that the victims are the teenage girls as you would expect a female to be a victim as they are shown as the weaker gender in conventional thriller films. There are many different enigmas in my narrative,such as the following:

•  who is killing them the victims
• where the board game came from? who found it?
• when did the victims die? how did they die?

My characters will be 5 teenager girls, with 3 of them dying and two of them deciding to stop playing with one of these girls finding the board game when they are older and her teenage daughter. 

The audience will connect with the victims as they are teenager girls who will be 15-17, so many of the audience might see the character and relate them to someone that they know. Also as they will see the girls at the sleepover beforehand, they will see them having fun and will want that to continue. Most of the audience won't want to see any harm come to the innocent girls who were just playing a game.
