Sorority Row Storyline Inspiration



As a group we sat down and spoke about storylines that we found interesting and unique. We came to a decision that we felt Sorority Row had a storyline which contained suspense yet was realistic and would appeal to teengers. As teenagers are going to be our main target audience due to the fact that they consume the most amount of horrors out of the different age groups.

The story line that sorority row has is very effective in the way that it is able to take a situation that teenagers are placed in on a daily basis and place an unthinkable thought within the situation to create a horror/thriller film.

My group took most insipiration from the girl bring killed by her friends and coming back to life to haunt and terrorise them. We are going to consider changing and adaping this idea into a new storyline that fits within the situation of a girl and a boy in a violent relationship that eventually erupts and ends in the death of one of the characters.

Also, after looking at the website for Sorority Row ( http://thetapi-ordie.com/ ) I have gained some some influence for a layout of my webpage. The layout of the hyperlinks across the top and the interactive rollover images for the hyperlinks is very effective and works well with the layour of the entire webpage. The background for the webpage is black, allowing all images and text to stand out brightly. The webpage also follows the theory of joel sklar, this theory stated that interative images and text should be positioned in specific areas of a webpage according to the movement of viewers eyes. This is an aspect of creating a webapge that i need to follow so that my webpage is asthetically pleasing to viewers eyes and that it doesnt confuse them and make it difficult to understand. Lastly, the collage of images (screenshots from the entire movie) positioned on the homepage give the viewers an idea of what the movie is about without giving too much away, allowing them to grasp on to the sensitivity and tension the director is trying to put across. I am going to take into account all of the above when creating the webpage for my group so that it can be as effective as possible.
