The characters in our short film are PHILIP SWAIN, SOPHIE WAGSTAFF (myself), and HANNAH FEARNLEY. We are shooting the short film in a graveyard located in Kettering. The plot is about a serial killer who stalks a young girl and kills her. We've chosen this story line because we want to create tension, for it to be gripping and exciting for what is about to happen.
Plot
The young girls mother dies before the film so she is now being looked after by her aunty as her father abandoned her and her mother when the young girl, was a baby. A serial killer is on the loose, yet to be caught. The girl goes to visit her mothers grave everyday at 4:00pm after school as she misses her greatly and freels alone. The serial killer spots the girls and realises she visits the grave everyday at the same time. He starts spying on her and eventually captures her and kills her.
Locations
We want to create an eery/spooky kind of setting we thought it would be a good idea to base our film in a graveyard as they are naturally quite scary. Besides this, there are other factors in a graveyard which can contribute to the scariness. For example these could be the church, shadows, tall trees swaying in the wind, and crunchy leaves to emphasis sound. Also in the setting of a graveyard the killer could disguise himself easier behind trees when spying on the girl. Even though you suspect something bad will happen in the setting of a graveyard, we believe that we can pay more focus on making it scarier and more tense and unexpected. Tension will play a large part in our film.
The noises of nature will always help the eariness.
The story begins with a fresh green leaf slowly falling to the ground which will be put on slow motion and played with a voice over.
The story ends with a dead brown leaf slowly falling to the ground with slow motion and a voice over; this life journey of a leaf as well as Sophies.
