Logline

For our film idea we have chosen the genre 'THRILLER/MYSTERY' because both me and Sophiyah find this the most interesting and have a lot of different ideas in ways to present it in a thrilling way. We have planned to start out our film of a girl who is possessed, but with slow music, contrast it to seem as if she's completely innocent, but also put the footage in slow motion to give an eerie feel and make the audience question 'something is not right...'. Whether this be her sleeping, in a shower, walking along the street or around the house, we're unsure of yet. We will want to test which one we can get the best effect out of.

UPDATE: WE CHOSE TO SHOOT THIS SCENE IN THE SHOWER. CHARACTERS FACE UNIDENTIFIED.

During the opening sequence there are also hints to show something bad is going on/ has gone on in that house. For example, we would like to include a flashback of somebody being pushed in the cupboard while biting the girl pushing her, to show that now she has been bitten that she is cursed by the devil. Also to show blood dripping off a knife.

UPDATE: WE ALSO CHOSE TO INCLUDE THE TREE IN MY BACK GARDEN TO SYMBOLISE IT AS A 'HANGING' TREE, SOMEONE DIED ON THAT TREE AND IT WOULD BE A KEY SCENE THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE. PEOPLE WOULD QUESTION 'WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT TREE'.

At the end, we want the 'innocent' girl from the beginning to be thought to have been run over by a car to shock the audience. They knew something wasn't right with her from the beginning as she was unidentified and it was in slow motion and now she is being run over by a car still unidentified will hopefully make the audience intrigued and question what is happening and want to know more. We then planned for the rest of the opening credits to show another family moving into the same house to get a sort of 'oh no something bad is going to happen to them' response from the audience.

UPDATE: WE COULDN'T INCLUDE THE FAMILY MOVING INTO THE SAME HOUSE AS WE HAD ALREADY GONE OVER TWO AND A HALF MINUTES FOR OUR OPENING SEQUENCE ALREADY, AND WITH WHAT WE HAD PLANNED TO INCLUDE WITH THE FAMILY MOVING IN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY TOO LONG. SO WE DECIDED TO STOP IT THERE BUT THEY WERE OUR INTENTIONS FOR THE REST OF THE MOVIE.
