OUR IDEA

It is about a reoccurring nightmare.

In the nightmare there will be two young girls playing on a swing whilst humming a nursery rhyme

There will be several cuts between the two scenes of the women sleeping and the what is going on in her nightmare

In the shots of the women you will see her become distressed by the nightmare

She will wake up and turn her side lamp on

She gets her diary from under her pillow

As she starts to write, flashes of the nightmare will be seen again- these will be shorter that the previous shots.

She will then draw a ? In her diary- to show that she is confused

In the last shot, the girls in the nightmare would have disappeared and it will just be the swing swinging.

RESEARCH

We were inspired by the se7en opening for the following reasons:

• It cuts between different clips

• The sense of mystery

• The way they replaced the ‘v’ for a ‘7’

• The dark lighting

• The length of the shot-fast

We were also inspired by American horror story for the following reasons:

• The sense of mystery

• Cut between different clips

• Credits- on a black background and they flicker.

RESEARCH

We were influenced by the conventions in the ‘Women in black’ such as:

• Children

• Costumes- old fashioned white dresses

• Dolls

• Enigma code

• Nursery rhyme

• Dark lighting

RESEARCH

We will assign our film to Hammer productions due to their big

budget and their success with horror films

We have decided to give it the classification of 15 as we

believe that a 12 year old would not understand the

storyline. However it would not be an 18 due to the lack of

sexual violence, blood and gore.
