In order to gather our initial ideas, we created mind-maps exploring various themes that we could base our horror film on.
We decided to focus on the theme of possession; the fear of the unknown and ghosts/demons are quite common, therefore our horror film would be appealing to our target audience as it would be scary.
Various ideas regarding the theme of possession were discussed, but eventually we settled on an idea that we all liked. Next, we thought about the story line more in depth and named our characters, thought of their ages and what their personality is like.
- Damon (unpossessed)- 17 - Considers himself as the masculine one of the group and was quite protective of his friends.
- Damon (possessed) - Is extremely controlling, aggressive and manipulative. We named him Damon as it is very close to the word Demon.
- Stephanie - 16 - Is in a relationship with Damon. She is stereotypically girly and squeamish. Can be irritating and slightly stuck up.
- Alona - 16 - Seems to be the odd one out. Is very obsessed with the "dark arts" and is brave.
- Zac - 17 - Bravest of the group but is quite obnoxious. He is humorous but can sometimes take things too far.
- Adrian - 16 - He is the 'nice guy' of the group and is usually quite laid back and sometimes shy.
We then created a summary of our film and eventually presented it as a 60 second pitch.
Below you can find our 60 second pitch at 6:10.
