4.1-4.2 In this task we were suppose to come up with four concepts for either horror, romcoms or thriller films. We were also suppose to outline the basic plot/storyline.
1.Peak A-BOO
Lady dresses up as a doll. She stalks parents with babies due to jealousy, because she has lost her own daughter.
Scene opens with close ups on doll, teddy bears, baby clothes, at first proper toys, and then toys and dolls with eyes ripped out and destroyed. When camera films a close up of a cot the scene dissolves into a dark night.
Creepy woman stalks a woman with her baby in a pram.
We keep filming the shadows of the creepy woman, dressed as a doll, as she continuously says peak A-BOO. Last time she says it, she shouts it out and attacks the woman, ends up with killing her. And p o v of the baby in the dead mothers cot of the creepy doll face she carries on repeating peek a boo the camera dissolves again showing the same pov shot of the creepy doll women looking into a cot however you see from a long shot she is back home she picks up baby which is a skeleton sits in the teddy’s and cry’s and rocks the baby crying peek a boo titles boom on.

2.Trapped
Young children /teenagers knock on a creepy women’s house and ask if they can sleep over as they are lost and need a place to sleep. As they get directed into different rooms, toys begin to come alive and attack the teenager. Now the party of teenagers are unable to get out they need to find a way to escape fast as the old women begins to turn on them to!
3.Possessed
Man comes home from work, he gets possessed by evil spirit as he walks through his door, and the spirit has control over his mind and body. The spirit then kills the man’s wife. The spirit leaves the body when the job is done and the man is left shocked and confused at what has happened then the spirit attaches to another and keeps doing so until everyone is dead.
4.Run
The scene opens with freak accident with a group of drunken teenagers messing about near a lake. In the chaos a girl is brutally drowned and left for dead by friends the scene cuts to the present and you see a ghostly figure of the girl rise eerily from the daughter with a knife with red eyes ready to attack those who left her to die so terribly.
Conclusion
We decided to discard ideas 2, 3 and 4 this is due to a variety of reasons. Film 2 (trapped) we believed would be hard to accommodate for as it involved very high rate settings and allot of characters something that in our predicament would be to hard to get hold of . We also feared that the film could to easily come across quite comical rather than scary which is not what a horror film should be.
the third horror film idea (possessed) we discarded, even though it was a strong idea, as the filming element of the opening would be hard to carry out realistically as the concept of the spirit entering and leaving the body would be hard to edit and capture in some manner.
Finally we discarded the fourth idea (run) as we believed the plot line to be weaker than the rest and underdeveloped and also rather predictable something we didn't want our opening of our horror film to be, as we wanted excitement and the unpredictable to happen . Another aspect which led us to discard film idea 4 was the danger aspect ,the idea of the freak accident would be to dangerous to film or even try to. Therefore we chose film idea one.
In conclusion we chose to make film number one; Peak A-BOO. This because it involved less people in the movie, this makes the film easier to produce, as it is hard to find actors that are willing to work and use their spare time needed for the movie to be made well. It also had the scariest and most twisted plot line, to keep the audience interested. We also felt that this idea had the most depth to the characters, so there was a wide range of possibilities to work with.
