You tease!!

So, for our first assignment, we would have to come up with a single story idea that will be translated into multiple platforms. Meaning that this one story will be used to make different medias, like a movie, or website, or a video game.

Due by Week 4 is our Teaser poster. The poster should be something that gives the audience a little taste of what is to come. Not necessarily giving a clear idea of what the movie is entirely about, but just enough to get people interested to watch the movie. IT IS THE POWER OF ANTICIPATION!!!!!


So basically, I wanted to do a really creepy, magical story with a young woman as the protagonist. Her name...... is Etta. (You know, like Etta James. Etta is the name of a bank robber back in the old western days. I wanted to use a very strong female character in this so I had to use a strong name) In this story, she is a normal young woman, caucasian, aged early to mid twenties, and she is a writer, so she spends most of her time by herself (hence why there is no one else with her because she lives by herself). She moves from a new town and into this suburban area and moves into a big house with a  creepy cellar door. As she is discovering this new house, she opens the cellar door and gets sucked into another dimension!!!!

Let me paint you a picture of what this place looks like. Think medieval times, witches, warlocks, unicorns, goblins, scary monsters, creepy dark forests. It is basically an old fashion kingdom, riddled with magical creatures and sorcerers. Imagine  the TV series Merlin, if King Arthur ever accepted Merlin's magical powers and all of his kind openly and let them use magic but the evil sorcerers started to conquer Camelot and everything was covered in this misty evil that clouds the entire kingdom.

So yeah, that's what this other dimension looks like. And Etta is basically trapped in this world, and she doesn't really know how to get out. Because portals to alternate dimensions always close up after you go through them.. duh.. And she can't find the door. So, she basically has to fight her way through all these dark creatures who are trying to suck the life out of the kingdom. 




The problem is.. I'm not sure how to end this story. The teaser poster will be set in this magical dimension evil forest place... I also need to find a name for the alternate dimension.. But in this version below, you can see my ideas kinda trying to find its way. Basically, its a twist on Wizard of Oz and Snow white. She needs to find a particular wizard/sorcerer in order to get back to where she was before. And she meets all these funny characters along the way. And in the middle of it, this huntsman who is paid to kill her falls in love with her!! JUICY!! More later!
