A young boy watches a horror movie alone at home. He sees strange figures in the darkness when he turns lights on and off. When he goes to his bedroom, the light goes out and his door opens on its own. He sees the figure of a young boy in the darkness who walks towards his bed. When he turns on the light, the boy disappears. Someone then taps him from behind, and he sees the boy again with blood on his hands.

1. WATCH OUT
IS IT REALLYTHERE?
BY: MICHEAL OLADOKUN

2. Narrative/Idea/Hook
• A young boy of 14 watches an horror movie as he puts off all the lights
he sees someone in the darkness he switches the light on one is there
and he does the same and gets the same result he leaves the light on
but as he goes into his room the light goes off and his door gradually
opens and as he looks up he sees the figure of a young boy in the
darkness the boy walks close to his bed he gets up to switch on the
light and the boy is not there someone taps him he looks back it’s the
boy with blood in his hands.

3. Genre and Style
• The genre of my short film is a horror because of the gore at the end as we
know horror normally deals with blood and supernatural beings.
• Its going to be shot and edited in a non-linear way and there will be lots of
flash backs and flash forwards with a twist which is the teen seeing the boy
with blood in his hands its going to be using intellective montage to add
artistic touches to my work.

4. Unique Selling Point
• Due to my research I have found a trend in horror movies that they tend to
have a supernatural being such as ghost attacking human begins making them
the weak and they always link the human and the ghost in the end either the
human killed the ghost or the ghost killed the human and the human gets
possessed. Deliver us from evil is a very good example as most humans get
possessed by demons. And based on the selling point of Deliver us from evil
I’m confident that my idea will sell.

5. Budget
• Below is a budget break down of my budget:
• MY BUDGET for my short film is £50.
• £25 - PROPS AND MAKE UP
• £25-TRANSPORTATION AND FEEDING OF CREW
FACILITIES- MAC SUITEWILL USETHE ONE PROVIDED BY SCHOOL
CAMERA KIT AND LIGHNINIG KITWILL BE PROVIDED BY SCHOOL ASWELL.
• Total - £ 50

6. Funding sources
I have carried out some research and found out that most film makers get
their funding's from kick starter
• They save up money from their day to day jobs
• Apply and win money from lottery
But in my opinion I have come to the conclusion that the safest way is to get
funded through kick starters because its sure garneted that you will get
funded.

7. Audience/Trends
• Due to my research I have found a trend in horror movies that they tend to have a
supernatural being such as ghost attacking human begins making them the weak
and they always link the human and the ghost in the end either the human killed
the ghost or the ghost killed the human and the human gets possessed.
• My target audience are those distributors who attend short film festivals where my
films are going to entered and hopefully get aired in one of the short film and also
its going to get aired onYouTube which allows more distributors to see my short
film and its also will air on Netflix.

8. Distribution• My short film is going to distributed at Short film festivals; short film festivals are where
distributors come to watch and promote short films that they find artistic. Examples of short
film festivals:
Raindance Film Festival *Oscar qualifying
London Short Film Festival
Edinburgh International Film Festival
London Short Film Festival
Manchester International Film Festival
Encounters International Short Film Festival *Oscar qualifying
Leeds International Film Festival
Aesthetica Film Festival
My short film is also going to be distributed onYouTube as its going to availed for more people to
see and its not restricted to only one geographical area in the world everyone from anywhere can
watch it.
• Also my short film is going to be distributed on Netflix as they air short films .

9. Certification and content issues
• Due to my short film isn’t going to be only aired in the U.K I do not need to
submit it the BBFC as they only regulate films that are going to air in the U.K
only, but if my film is going to air on Netflix its going to be looked at by the
BBFC just to give it an age rating this is so because BBFC have a partnership
with Netflix to only give age certificates to their films but cannot censor it.

10. Locations
• For my short film I’m going to just filming in one location which is a house
I’m doing this in other to isolate the character and also to show that people
are attacked in where they think they are saved mosted
