Designing an idea with a clear narrative structure

DEATH TRIP

How will the story start?
The teenagers are driving along a dusty motorway in the middle of the day, on there way to a music festival. In the car the teenagers are having a good time except for the driver who seems annoyed as she cannot join in as she is driving. She decides to pull over on the hard shoulder for a toilet break.

THREAT- The girl driver seems to be taking a long time so they send out another female character out to see whats taking her so long. As she gets to the edge of the forest the driver has gone into she hears a scream. She quickly runs back to the car and shouts at the other teenagers to get out. They run into the forest and find a clearing where the drivers handheld camera is which she used as a light. They start searching for the driver and one of the girls trips over and falls down a hole. The others start to laugh at her but soon realise there is no response. They look down the hole and realise that it was a trap and that there friend has fallen into a pit of spikes. They run back to the car but realise the missing driver has the keys. The remaining three characters have an argument about leaving the other girl and hitching a ride. One of the stubborn male characters decide to stay and hitch a ride while the others go in search of the missing driver. It starts to get dark so they decide to go back to the car for the night. When they arrive at the car the male character is gone. They decide to sleep through the rest of the night. They are awoken by something crashing down on to the car. As they get out they see the dead body of there friend lying on the bonnet of the car.

Ending: They see a light down the road and run towards it. They come to an old farmhouse and knock frantically on the door. The door creaks open suggesting that it has been opened and not shut correctly. The teenagers enter the house and enter the kitchen where the missing driver is sat. They see blood drip down from the ceiling and then the driver reveals a knife. The camera is dropped to the floor and screaming can be heard ...
