2. Movie Ideas
Matt’s Idea
• Some friends are out and
about
• They’re mucking about when
they come across something
strange
• They see a forest entrance that
is cordoned off by police tape
• Wandering what has happened,
they enter the forest
• One by one, they're are picked
off by an unseen force
Khaleem’s Idea
• A couple are out on a date
• After the date, the male
protagonist (main character –
boyfriend) walks his girlfriend
home
• They see a homeless man
begging for spare change, and
they drop some change into his
hands
• In return, he offers them
talisman
• To get home, they take a
shortcut through a forest… only
one of them gets out
As both Matt and Khaleem’s ideas were good, we had to compromise some features of
both ideas, furthermore to create a truly unique film, we added extra ideas to produce
3. CHOSEN MOVIE IDEA
[SO FAR]
Some friends are out
on Halloween night
(five sixteen year olds
and two ten year olds -
two siblings
They see a cordoned
off area of a forest
They go in to
investigate what has
happened
One by one, they are
picked off by an
unseen force
Only the protagonist –
Jayden Yusuf – gets
out
Basic Opening Scene
• (KMA Productions {fictional institution} appears -
colour contrast to the background: silver lettering,
and black background
• Logo fades into a very close up of the protagonist’s
eyes, camera pans out revealing: cut cheek, hair
saturated in blood, blood soaked clothes etc.
[drumbeat and distorted screams in background
as incidental sound - audio that adds emotion and
rhythm, it is usually not noticeable.
• [camera is grainy, black and white, birds-eye view,
similar to CCTV of a police station] - there is little
/ no sound, as the protagonist is alone in the
interviewing room
• [camera returns to colour, is sharper etc. (after
fading from grainy) angle is establishing shot and
the incidental audio grows louder, almost
deafening, until the protagonists shouts
“ENOUGH!” slamming his fist on the table
