(If the writing above cannot be seen, this is what is
written) As a group we decided when creating our narrative that we will have a
final girl, as this was a common convention we noticed in horror films we had
come across. For example some well-known final girls were; ‘Lila Crane’ played
by Vera Miles in Psycho- 1960, ‘Sidney Prescott’ played by Neve Campbell in
Scream- 1996, or more recently Kristen Connelly who played ‘Dana Polk’ in 2012’s
‘The Cabin in the Woods’. One thing that many final girl characters have in
common was that they all have unisex names which could reflect their masculine traits.
We decided to carry this convention into our own horror trailer too. In our
narrative, although our final girl caused no direct harm to Hayley, she did not
stop the other girls from mistreating Hayley and so although Hayley doesn’t kill
our final girl but she still tries to get revenge from her. As a group we
discussed how having a hidden meaning behind the names of our characters would
be a good idea. A member of our group suggested the word ‘noble’ and said this
could be ironic if related to our final girl. As a group, we chose to name our
final girl Aubrey. This was good as it was a unisex name and also had an ironic
link to our final girl character. The
meanings of other words were also looked up.
