•BURGH CASTLE RUINS: SITUATED NEAR A RIVER WITH SOME MARSH LAND THE
BURGH CASTLE RUINS ARE A KEY LOCATION FOR OUR HORROR FILM. THIS IS WHERE
MULTIPLE KEY EVENTS OF THE FILM HAPPEN. THE BOYS SUICIDE TAKES PLACE HERE AND IT
WHERE THE 4 TEENAGERS GO TO INVESTIGATE THE ‘HAUNTING’ RUMOURS. THE FIRST DEATH
IN THE FILM ALSO HAPPENS AT THIS LOCATION. THE RUINS ARE EERIE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE
LACK OF LIGHTING MAKING THEM THE PERFECT PLACE TO GET MANY OF OUR MORE EERIE
AND NIGHT-TIME SHOTS.

4. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
•CHARLEY’S HOUSE: SCARED AND WARY OF THE STRANGE AND HORRIFIC
THINGS THAT HAPPENED AT THE RUINS THE TEENAGERS RECRUIT BACK TO ONE OF
THEIR HOUSES TO CALM DOWN AND RELAX. THE THREE OF THEM TALK BEFORE ONE
LEAVES TO GO HOME, WHERE THEY ARE KILLED BY THE GHOST. UNKNOWN TO THE
OTHER TWO THEY GO TO SLEEP. ANOTHER KEY PLACE AS IT IS WHERE THE THIRD
DEATH HAPPENS, ONE OF THE FEMALES IN A ‘SLEEPWALK’ STATE JUMPS OFF OF THE TOP

5. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
•ST NICHOLAS’ CHURCH: WE WILL BE USING THIS LOCATION FOR ANOTHER
ONE OF THE MAJOR CHARACTER DEATHS HAPPENS. JAY WILL BE WALKING BACK TO HIS
HOUSE LATE AT NIGHT WHEN HE SEES THE GHOST AT THE END AND AFTER THIS HE
SEES THE GHOST OF CHRISTIAN EVERYWHERE BEFORE HE HAS AN ANEURYSM. THIS IS A
GOOD LOCATION FOR THIS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THE FACT THAT IT IS A CHURCH AND
GRAVEYARD MAKES IT MORE EERIE AND ADDS TO THE HORROR ELEMENT.

7. CHARACTER PROFILES
•CHAD: THE ATHLETIC AND ARROGANT ONE IN THE GROUP OF TEENAGERS.
• HE IS THE ONE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS OR THE IDEA THAT THEY ARE BEING
HAUNTED. THINKS THAT GOING TO THE RUINS TO INVESTIGATE THE ‘SUICIDE’ IS STUPID
AND A WASTE OF TIME. HE IS THE FIRST ONE TO DIE AS HE IS THE FIRST FROM THE
GROUP WHO DECIDES TO GO HOME ON HIS OWN, AND DUE TO HIM NOT BELIEVING AND
BEING SCEPTICAL HE DIES FIRST WHEN HE IS ALONE IN HIS CAR. IT IS MADE TO LOOK
LIKE HE HAS DIED IN A CAR CRASH, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY DUE TO THE GHOST THAT HE
SAW JUST BEFORE HE DIED.
• FOR THE TRAILER CHAD WILL BE WEARING CLOTHES THAT PORTRAY HIS CHARACTER
TYPE; LIKE TRACKSUIT BOTTOMS AND TOPS, AS THIS WILL PORTRAY HIS CHARACTER IN
THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THE TRAILER WILL ROLE FOR.
•THE HELPER

8. •JAY: THE ‘PRANKSTER’ OF THE GROUP.
• HE IS SKEPTICAL ABOUT THEM BEING HAUNTED AND CONTINOUSLY TORMENTS THE
GROUP BY PLAYING PRAKS ON THEM SUCH AS SCARING THEM OR DOING THINGS THAT
WOULD MAKE THEM BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE REALLY BEING HAUNTED. HE IS THE
SECOND ONE TO DIE WHEN HE LEAVES THE REAMINING GROUP AT CHARLEY’S AND
DECIDES TO GO HOME, THE REASON FOR HIS DEATH IS THE FACT THAT HE WAS MAKING
FUN OF THE GHOST AND THE HAUNTING.
• IN THE TRAILER JAY WILL BE WEARING MODERN DAY CLOTHES, SUCH AS JEANS, A T-
SHIRT AND A JACKET, AS THIS COULD PORTRAY HIS CHARACTER, BECAUSE THERE ARE
NO SPECIFIC CLOTHES THAT REPRESENT A PRANKSTER.
•THE HELPER
CHARACTER PROFILES

9. •MADDISON: IS THE ‘ACADEMIC’ AND ‘REALIST’ CHARACTER.
• MADDISON IS THE ONE WHO DOESN’T THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO GO AND INVESTIGATE THE
SUICIDE AND THE PLACE WHERE IT HAPPENED. SHE BELIEVES IN THE SUPERNATURAL IS
VERY PARANOID ABOUT BEING HAUNTED OR PUNISHED FOR BOTHERING THE SPIRIT. DUE TO
HER PARANOIA SHE IS THE 3RD MEMBER OF THE GROUP TO DIE.
• ONCE AGAIN SHE WILL BE WEARING MODERN DAY CLOTHES THAT HAVE A SLIGHTLY
REPRESENTATION TOWARDS HER CHARACTER – SHIRT AND JEANS – SO THAT IT ISN’T TOO
OBVIOUS WHAT TRAIT SHE HAS IN THE GROUP.

CHARACTER PROFILES

10. •CHARLEY: OUR FINAL GIRL WHO SURVIVES UNTIL THE END.
• IN THE NARRATIVE THE FINAL GIRL IS SIMILAR TO THE ‘REALIST’ CHARACTER EXCEPT
SHE ISN’T AS PARANOID ABOUT THE SPIRIT, SHE BELIEVES IN GHOSTS BUT DOES
BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN REALLY HAUNT OR HURT YOU. SHE SURVIVES UNTIL THE END
OF THE FILM WHERE SHE TRIED TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT BETWEEN THE GHOST OF THE
BOY AND HIS MOTHER SO THAT EVERYTHING IS ‘OVER.’ DESPITE THIS WE SEE HER BEING
TAKEN AWAY BY THE POLICE DUE TO HER MENTAL STATE AFTER WITNESSING THE
DEATH OF SO MANY PEOPLE.
• MODERN DAY CLOTHING – A JUMPER AND JEANS – SOMETHING THAT IS QUITE
ANDROGYNOUS TO REPRESENT HER CHARACTER TYPE.
•THE ‘FINAL GIRL’ AND HERO

COVERED IN BLOOD WITH SCRATCH MARKS AND BITE MARKS WITH HIS HEAD ON THE
STEERING WHEEL AND HIS CAR CRASHED INTO A HEDGE WITH SMOKE POURING OUT OF
THE CAR. IT IS ASSUMED CHAD CRASHED HIS CAR AND HE IS TAKEN TO HOSPITAL BUT
PASSES IN HOSPITAL. CHARLEY IS SCEPTICAL AND THINKS IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO
