A group of friends go to a grandma's old house and decide to play with a Ouija board. They accidentally release spirits that begin killing them. Only three friends, Jenny, Gavin, and Chris, manage to escape. The script idea is for a 6-10 minute paranormal horror movie targeting an audience of late teens to early 30s. It will follow the story of a group of friends who go to a grandma's house and unwittingly unleash spirits through a Ouija board that begin killing them off, with only a few managing to survive.

house inspiration
Mode of address:
I shall use the appropriate language like capital letters in certain sentences and exclamation marks in
the appropriate sentences to that it’s a horror movie and the characters are scared. I will also used
quite modern language to also attracts the target audience more.
I believe that the script shall be restricted because of part of the target audience aren’t even adults
yet (late teenagers to early 30s).
Length of script:

3. The usual length of a horror movie is around 1 30 hours and are normally a page a minute. For this
script there will only be around 6 – 10 pages so should also be around 6 – 10 minutes.
Angle of article: the intended theme of the script is a gory Paranormal Horror. Paranormal because
it is a Horror script that involves the unnatural. The only message to the audience that there is, is to
not use something that has a bad reputation like a Ouija board.
