2. Home alone
 In this town , suspicious things started happening all over the neighbourhoods. The
story begins with a girl who is home alone. She loves to read and chose to read a
horror story that night. While she is reading paranormal things start happening.
The morning after she contacts her friends from school. They all have explained
similar experiences. They go to the local Japanese counsilor for help. Things get
worse for some of them.

3. This is a story I came up with after being told
to make one out of these lyrics : “ you know
you love me, you know you care. Just shout
whenever, and ill be there.”
 Pros : it could attract a vast audience. Due to the film
including romance and action as some of their main
genre characteristics.
 Cons : Extraordinary amount of CGI, which also means
buying all the necessary equipment and computer
works, resulting to losing a lot of money.
(plot) in an action fantasy world where magic and
creatures of various kinds exist. There was a boy
and a girl who fell in love at a young age. They
would meet each other as much as they could,
despite the dangers of the world and the
justification of that from their parents. The girl and
the boy had a closer relationship than anyone in
the realms. But one day they had an argument
which was at the girls fault. This caused them to
distance from each other all the while having that
same deep love for each other. After a week the
boy witnisses her die infront of him, him being
unable to do anything. Her soul then magnitated
towards the boy, and as he screamed a spirit comes
out of the boy and kills the creatures that killed her,
the very dangers that they were warned of many
times.
Thus granting him a power in which whenever
the boy screams, a spirit guardian comes out
of him (the girls spirit)
Hence the lyrics : “you know you love me, you
know you care, just shout whenever and ill be
there.” taken in both a literal sense and
metaphorical.

4. A story made out of these 6
randomized pictures.
Plot : The teenager has a job at the waterpark. He isn’t
very fond of his parents. The teenager is doing his job
as normal, letting kids pass through the waterslide one
by one, ironically two kids go at the same time. The
teenager being distracted by this he has his guard
down. Black. Is all he remembers after that. He slowly
opens his eyes after being knocked out for a few hours.
Hes in a hospital bed. He looks at his surroundings all
confused. He sensed a glance magnitating towards
him. Its an old man with a cowboy hat and a huge coat.
The first thing that comes out the old mans mouth is “
you’re here cuz I hit you with a wrench” followed up by
a snarky chuckle. “ Im ur gramps “ he then says. The
teenager gets a flashback of his parents mentioning a
batshit crazy grandfather that he was never allowed to
see. This starts to slowly connect in the teenagers mind.
The boy collected himself and screams at the grandpa
asking what the hell is wrong with him. The grandpa
doesn’t respond at all to that and just tells him that hes
taking the boy somewhere with his ol’ gramps.
Pros : Not hard to
reanact these scenes.
Rather simple plot.
Cons: Finding a
waterslide where
they let filming take
place.

5. Plot : a local school boy , is wandering around his
block. This area of the city isn’t known as the safest for
many reasons. Ghetto in a way. The schoolboy notices
some drunks fighting at the park , over something
stupid probably. He goes over there out of curiosity it
seems. They notice him and start acting out at him. He
unexpectedly beats them up. About five men (some fat
some skinny.) Either way an accomplishment
nonetheless. He takes the bottle of vodka and walks
away, taking his drive for malice with him , replacing
the original guess of curiosity for his motive. He calls
his friends telling them he has a special little surprise
for them. It ends with him being one of the many
reasons why the area is known for being “ not safe “.

6. Mad artist interview
A journalist is called to have an interview with an artist that started to get some
attention from the city. While the journalist is getting ready for the interview, his
colleague warns him about the artist he is going to interview ( he has met him
before ) he says that there is definetly something wrong with that artist. The
journalists finds what he said weird , but brushes it off and gets on with his job.
The journalist arrives at the artists house. They have a normal greeting and for
the first 10 minutes everything seems normal. Until the journalists gets
dumbfounded by one of the artists questions. She stutters ; “ c-can I take a
strand of your hair ? “ . The journalist collects his thoughts and asks her to further
explain ( While reclicking his pen to start writing seriously ). She says “well
nevermind, let me show you a work in progress painting ! ) . She starts painting.
As im watching her, beautiful strokes of the brush, watching as the paint
combines with the white canvas. Suddenly , she starts to speed up. Gradually
faster and faster. But her accuracy remains, and strokes look even better , her act
looked , almost beautiful. The painting looked amazing. Her brush looked a little
messed up tho. She looks at him “ you see , I paint much better with these
brushes “. “oh no, the brush is all messed up, journalist , a few strands of your
hair would be just right to fix this”. The journalist figures out that she makes
those special brushes of hers out of people hair. He runs out immediately after
that. He questions his career choices later that night.
