Individual idea for a horror film - Ryan Tarran

1. Ryan Tarran

2.  A group of college kids go and investigate an
abandoned mental asylum for their youtube
channel in which they produce content, most of
the content they release is faked and staged,
however, in this asylum it is actually haunted, the
4 actors are self aware but picked off one by one
by the supernatural entity that lurks within the
abandoned building, the main actor who owns the
YouTube channel, the final girl, is not seen killed
on screen but dragged away from the camera at
the end, thus not proving if she died or not

3.  4 characters
 Final Girl – Androgynous, self aware and ironic
 Jock / Athlete – Built male who makes poor
choices and coaxes the group into exploring
deeper
 Academic – Smart, suggests viable options,
indicates that the asylum might actually be
haunted and they should leave
 The Less progressive female – Pretty, flaunts,
stereotypical ‘dumb blonde’ dies first.

4.  The sub genre for this film would be
considered as supernatural and
paranormal. This means it would be
intertextual to other films like paranormal
activity and the conjuring, but with a
modern twist.

5.  Abandoned mental asylum – plenty near norwich
e.g: little plumstead, the old hospital, marshes
near the broads could be used for some scenes
 Would be set in present, real time, ‘vlogged’ on a
video camera by the owner of the YouTube
channel as if it was for an audience to watch later
on
 Will be filmed during the day, towards the end of
the film the sun will be setting
 Begins with a car journey, like they normally do, as
if a sense of equillibrium.

6.  Makeup – Fake blood, cuts, bruises
 Regular clothes, secondary clothes for messy
scenes with blood etc
 Dark clothing for any figures or silhouettes used to
make eerie scenes
 Stereotypical horror items, knives, crucifix
