Are we dead yet?
These spirits walk around, going about their lives not knowing
that they've passed on. They wonder why people ignore them
and why nobody comes to visit anymore. This happens more
often with old people who've spent their later years by
themselves.
Example from ‘The others’ the Example from ‘the sixth sense’
old man and woman

Unfinished business
There can be a number of reasons why certain beings stick
around after death. It is simple that the sprit that has died, did
not complete something in life and once the work is finished, the
deceased usually moves on in peace.

3. Kaya
Self-appointed guardian angel
These are loved ones who stick around after death to watch over
someone. It can be a deceased husband watching over his
elderly wife during the last of her days. It can be a young mother
who died before her time watching over her children as they
grow up.

4. Kaya
Wasting time between lives
As in reincarnation. They're waiting for
the next life to come around. What
better way to waste some time than
being a ghost. Coming and going from
the planes as you please, enjoying
yourself during your sightseeing,
visiting old friends to see how they're
doing, and the list goes on. They're not
here and not there - there just waiting
in between.

5. Kaya
Messenger
These are usually in the form of a
loved one. It can be a warning of
certain danger or future events. It
can also be a spirit coming to
ease the pain from a grieving
loved one. With messengers, the
spirit is not always deceased.

6. Kaya
Still Living
These people can be dreaming or
having an out-of-body experience
(obe). In the case of dreams, the
person doesn't usually know
they're walking around in the
form of a ghost. With intentional
obe's, the projector knows what's
going on but their intentions are
generally harmless.

Idea Development
draft 1
We are now improving our opening sequence from our last one completely by changing our
old idea to a new one. We went from thriller to drama and now we are doing a physiological
thriller . It is about a girl who has schizophrenia and she was put in care as her parents died
when she was two. We fully researched and revised schizophrenia so we improved our
understanding and knowledge making sure we make an effective opening sequence.
How are we contributing
Sanel and Kaya are contributing by meeting up on the Holidays to fully research and carefully
think about our new ideas making sure that everything make sense for our audience. Also
we made sure what effects schizophrenia has on people so we could make it realistic as possible.

Previously our idea for our whole film was about a girl who got introduced to a drug called
LSD. She got addicted to it and starts to ruin her life and blocks herself out from a social life.
What went well?
• Creative
• Interesting
• Scary
Even better if?
• Less complicated

Previously our opening sequence was showing the girls journey to the forest while she starts
to have hallucination.
What went well?
• Creative idea’s of the hallucination
• the audience can watch her journey to the forest
Even better if?
• Change the ending as it’s too confusing

How the idea was improved from draft 1 to draft 2
• We took out mental illness schizophrenia and just made her actually be
possessed by demons who wanted to let the world know about her cult
scaring the world so the demons can possess them too from watching the
video.
• Doing deeper research of the reason of possession that demons can be
related into the real world and why the certain people get possessed
because they’re venerable.
• We also changed the location to somewhere more flexible as the room
was small and we couldn’t move things around. Therefore we changed the
to one of the group members basement as it is spacious and reliable.
