Our Initial Ideas

IDEA 1

This idea starts with a self set up camera from the protagonist, it’s meant to be his last video diary from the events that have been happening since he took a diary from a museum he visited a while ago, there will be jumpy cuts to him in the museum to explain the storyline , then he leaves his camera on whilst he sleeps, as the film gutters the little girl appears in his room staring at him, and then at the camera, then no one is in the room, he has been taken. We wanted to make this idea a psychological thriller because we wanted depth to our film, playing on spirits hunting him down and also the way he will constantly be being taunted by the spirit. The location of the museum will be Ayscoughfee Museum.

IDEA 2

This idea will play on the history of the building, we will use Lincoln Mental Asylum as our location, as two teenagers (one with a camera) decide to go and look around an abandoned asylum, they hear music being played, they try to find the source of the music, not realising what they have walked into going into the building, as they get closer to the source the music gets louder and cuts become faster, until they find the music being played from a room, however they are not alone, there is a girl in a straight jacket, rocking back and forth, waiting for something or someone to find her, she then runs at the two teenagers, to which it will cut to black.

IDEA 3

For this idea we have chosen our location to be RAF Nocton Hall, we would like to play on its history of it burning down in the second world war, to start we will use a typewriter to set it back to an olden style, we will use the typewriter to type out of the past time of the building, it will then cut to the protagonist walking towards the building and into it, there will be music playing from inside the building that will gradually get louder as he gets closer to the room, as he is walking, there will be cut shots to the man rocking back and forth, looking possessed. When the character finds the room, he will walk in and ask the guy if he is alright, when he gets no reply, he decides to turn off the music, this aggravates the man in the chair, who goes crazy and attacks the protagonist, however it will cut to black as he stands up, this will hold tension and give it a jumpy ending.
