My brother says it's boring, but I think it's quite interesting We're making horror film openings next, it's gonna be awesome I feel ;d Its only interesting to me because i've covered it and had to consider it myself. You'll enjoy that, i remember doing that at college but it was a trailor for a horro film using chess pieces to represent a killer closing in on his victim. Well me and my classmate have got plans to film it in our village because we have some quite scary places around here. Like here: Behind our church

Jen....give me one of the examples your trying to do. Short of it is, I have 2 (main) articles on the Suffolk murders, both published on the same day from The Sun and The Guardian. Basically I have to analyse the whole thing(s), picking out noun/verb phrases, passive/active grammar, looking at word classes (use of adjectives, nouns, verbs (tenses and modal verbs), discourse etc. Yep i gathered that deary, i've done A level English too But your staring at it and not knowing wear to fuckin' start the thing right? So you want to get all the examples your going to use, jot them down, make bullit points for them then word it. So what's one of your examples and we'll see what we can do.

We had 2 people playing chess. One by one we had images showing pieces being moved and then scenes where a killer was stalking a girl and getting closer and closer until it got to checkmate, the last king knocked over and the killer gearing to strike....

The Sun probably used words of no more than one syllabol,blaming anyone and creating a witchunt and mass hysteria. The Guardian used words of more than one syllabol to create the same hysteria.

Yup, and we've also got a wood and pathway behind my house (near a housing estate too) and then there's Ladys Well, which is a mass of trees. I think my mate's found someone who'd love to be in it, so we just need to get our brains thinking of ideas Now that is one heck of a great idea! How did it turn out?

Well, I've started.. but I'm kinda starting on one point, then realising I don't know where I'm going with it Tis just having to wade through each text to find what to write about.. If you see Article A (on pg 1 here) I was writing active and passive grammar, which is fine I can spot them, it's just saying what they mean/why they've been used

Nice one, sounds like your going down the right road, perhaps try and think a little out the box at ways you can show horror other than the obvious It got a top grade percent wise and contributed to my first year (AS level mark) coursework wise. Feel free to use something like that or perhaps use the concept and create something similar but with your touch on things.

Yeah, it's like in the opening of Scream, with the popcorn (if you've seen it) on the hob. It's a visual metaphor for the rising tension in the scene. Could make it into a real life Cluedo, when they're actually playing Cluedo... Na, that's too Miss Marple... My brother's just finished a thriller opening, and his teacher's now going to use his write up for future reference!
