Creative and Media diploma: starting on our horror film

14/01/2011


On Friday me and my peers finally got around to planning our horror film. Of course we didn't do it alone, we had the help of Mrs.Williams, Don our directer, and Phil our screen writer. The first couple of hours of the day we introduced ourselves and spoke about our self and what our favourite things are. We also spoke about our ideas of what our 15-20 minute film should be about, and we all contributed some ideas. Some of the ideas i remembered was that i thought we should have a spirit of a Victorian girl that is out to get revenge because some bullies killed her and she hates all bullies so she haunts the school and comes out every 10 to 20 years to kill the bullies that come out of detention. They used some of these ideas, but they played around with them a bit. 
   The previous lessons we had before Friday i learnt quite a lot when it comes to horror films. We watched parts of some horror films, e.g The shining, Scream and the Blair witch project. Mrs.Williams went through the points in the film about how Dumb cheerleaders (slutty hoes who takes other peoples boyfriends, and usually gets killed first), Stupid jocks (who think they can pick a fight with the killer and win which obviously doesn't go to plan.) There's also the geek (she is in most films a virgin, and is a girl who doesn't have boyfriends, and who doesn't have many friends).This character is in most horror films the last person to stay alive, as they usually start to use their instincts so that they can stay alive for longer. 
  We finally finished planning our short story, and this how the story goes:
40 years ago a girl  called Cynthia Waters mysteriously dies in her school as she somehow got locked in the school cupboard and she somehow died. Twenty years later which is 20 years ago, another girl called Caroline Warren gets locked in the exact same cupboard that Cynthia died in by the bullies. She discovers there's a bunch of loose chemicals in the cupboard and starts to freak out, a girl comes along and Caroline begs for the girl to let her out, but the girl was afraid that the bullies would get to her so she just ran away and left the girl. Caroline eventually died because of the fumes. 20 years later which is now, a girl who is called Courtney White find out about the 'myth' and starts to research on the subject. She finds that this happened in the exact same school that's he goes to and what day it was going to happen and pretends to bully a girl to get into detention as that's apparently around the time when the killings happened. She ends up in detention with a bunch of bullies and tells them that she believes the same thing will happen to one of them. They don't believe her and carry on with their stupid ways. It was the end of detention almost but their teacher was nowhere to be seen so they start to get spooked at go and look for her. One by one they die somehow death unknown Courtney and the main bully was left the last bully gets killed and then its just left with Courtney. They had put out cameras to find the killer, in the end it was the teacher...
On my next blog i shall blog more about the film.
