Characters

The main character is going to be the boy who is the ghost. We will need someone to play him in the first scene as he will be seen. For his costume we will need victorian based clothes. Below is a Powerpoint explaining what I want my ghost to wear.




Final Storyline

I have decieded to use the storyline from working title one, I have chosen this as I believe the storyline is more believable and could be created to be more scary. I also like the idea of the main character being a victorian child as they can be very creepy as he has been dead for a while.

A more in depth version of the storyline is

Back in the victorian times a boy worked in some coal mines near a small village, he worked long hard hours and the foreman he worked for was harsh and cruel. One day the foreman brought in his daughter who the boy fell in love with straight away, he decieded to buy her a gift. He went out and spent his savings on a ring, he then walked to the foremans house to give his daughter the ring. When he turned up the foreman opened the door and saw what the boy was doing, he was so angry that a poor young coalminer would fall in love with his daughter he was so angry he pulled the knife from the sheath on his belt and stabbed the boy till he died. The foreman realising want he just did, picked up the body and ran into the woods, buring it in a shallow grave, his soul continued to haunt the woods he was buried in. Slowly the town shut down and people left and the coal mine was abandoned, a few people stayed but the town became abandoned in many places. It became a hotspot for missing persons cases but it didnt stop people from going there now and then.
After graduation a couple of friends decieded to go camping, the packed there stuff and went. They looked on the map and saw a small town not so far away so they deieded to go there. They set off and when they got there they set up camp, but one of the friends disappears without a trace, they then realise they are getting stalked by something or someone. Its teh ghost of the boy, they try hiding and some of the friends get killed and some make it to a abandoned house. The foremans house, they try hiding but they are found by the ghost. They are in the girls room, the ghost starts cry when he sees the girls dressing table, the wooden ring is on it. He walks over picks it up and vanishes. The kids run back to the car and drive to the nearest police station, but the police dont believe them, that a ghost killed there friends.

I think this is a good storyline as it hasnt been used before in any way and we could involve many clever camera angles and effects such as black and white in flashbacks.

Horror Film Storylines

We havn't yet decieded on what the storyline will be so we have written possible storylines, they are below.

Working Title 1

In this storyline, the killer would be the ghost of a victorian child who was killed in the coal mine by foreman for falling in love with his daughter. And he would come back to kill anyone who is near the mine until he is reunited with his lover. The storyline would be based around a group of kids camping in the forrest, unaware that it is close to the old abandoned coal mine, the ghost of the boy comes back and slowly picks off the children one by one.

Working Title 2

In this storyline a pyschodelic madman, breaks out of the mental hospital he is kept in by killing a nurse and dressing up as him. He then travels to London, to seek out the victim that he injured but not killed. He breaks into a fishing shop and steals a harpoon gun and a hunting knife. He goes around killing everyone in his way. In the end the victim ends up in a one on one fight with the killer.
