4. The Opening Sequence
Scene 1:
In the asylum the main character, Walter Babkins, is mentally unstable and therefore is held
in the asylum for his previous actions. Doctors working there treat him awfully and therefore
after all of his struggles Walter revolts by aggressive behaviour towards one of the workers
when they give him his dinner. In anger a few of the doctors take him and inject a lethal
injection, all behind closed doors. Walters death goes unnoticed and is not mentioned.
Until one day which started as any normal day would, turned into one of the greatest
hurricanes in New Jerseys history.
Everybody is advised to stay inside wherever they may be. Which turns out to be bad news for
the Asylum doctors.

6. narrative
There is little narrative which suits the horror genre. The characters (doctors) who will be
haunted are oblivious to what will happen to them at the start of the film. The film is
unique as the plot is different to any other similar horror.

12. conclusion
Our film will be low budget as we are not hiring well known actors. With high
budget actors our film may not be seen as thrilling as they know the actors and realise
it is just a film.
We want our viewers to believe everything that is happening and not want to stop
watching.
