TAYLORWOOD
By Bridgette Grace

GENRE: Fantasy, Drama
LOGLINE:

After a teenager is murdered within the town of TaylorWood, a group of supernatural teens all from different covens and packs try to unravel the evils lurking within this seemingly innocent town. 

SYNOPSIS:

Emotional, cinematic, and rooted in character, TaylorWood is a love letter to the marriage of teen drama and supernatural fear.

This story begins in the quaint town of TaylorWood. The town looks so wholesome that anyone on the outside would be oblivious to what goes on there, especially at TaylorWood High. TaylorWood High is far from normal; as a large group of the students that inhabit the school are anything but human. The town and high school are turned upside down when their rival high school BlackRidge High from the next town over closes. Transferring in a new set of vampires, werewolves, witches, and new human students that might just push the individuals of TaylorWood over the edge, when one of their own ends up murdered. Taylorwood explores the troubles of small-town life of human and nonhuman individuals as they struggle with family, friendships, and romances as death and evil lurk within its shadows.

The two schools have been rivals for years, so, when they allow the residents of BlackRidge to move into TaylorWood it not only affects the community but sets off ramifications for the members of the high school. The vampires, werewolves, and witches have all learned how to blend in with the normal students and townspeople. When the new set of creatures move in raising suspicion and murder takes place the groups start fighting with one another as their lives and the town's well-being drastically change. And they soon begin to wonder are they the hunters or the prey?

Life and high school are about survival, and in TaylorWood survival just became the ultimate game.

The reality-world of TaylorWood is horror and drama, even more so than in shows like Teen Wolf or Vampire Diaries. Every character is allowed to have a sense of familiarity and allowed to feel real fear and real love, and the world itself is allowed to conspire to create drama. All the elements--plot, setting, dialog, situations--are fair game to be played for absolute fear.

Phil Clarke

Great start, Bridgette. Does a lot of good work. But what's the point of the story? What's that all-important central dramatic question? What's at stake? What must happen or else? Who or what is antagonist? I'm also not entirely sold on that final clause: "committing them to dramatic and horrific results." What do you mean by this? It's a touch vague. But, I say again, great start.
