SYNOPSIS: In my film, the audience follow the afternoon of a group of teenagers on their
exploration in an abandoned facility (Eye Infirmary) in a surrounding area of a high traffic
city. During the course of the narrative, we follow the journey through the different wards
and quadrants of the building as our protagonist face a number of weird and unusual
interactions. Three floors, Three kids…but are they alone?
4. The target audience intended for this short
film, is generally for a young/middle age
teenage demographic, more so because
this film was made initially to be appropriate
for TV during a certain time, as well as
appropriate for daytime/evening TV, so the
target audience is restricted to a specific
audience slightly and not for those who may
prefer the more mature/graphic content,
containing things such as; gore, blood and
heavy violence.
Target Audience
» Purpose
The reason this film is being made, is solely for
entertainment purposes and to cater to those of the
thriller/horror genre. As well as to meet the standards of
being a short film production. Creating this film will also
help add to my own personal portfolio of media products I
have been apart of, to further my experience in media
production. (In all honesty it sounds like a BBC teenage
drama, such as; “The Sparticle Mystery, or M.I. High.”) I
think that this style of film is good to meet the criteria of a
young audience, then with appropriate jump scares and use
of tension building, it would be somewhat more suitable for
a slightly older demographic also. I aim to create something
that is on a somewhat competing level of Get Out/Split as
they are my inspirations.

In my film, the names of the three original characters to be seen on screen are;
For a good visual representation, I have used these
three images to create a better understanding of what I
imagine my characters to look like, in my head as well
as visually. Each character has a urban teenage look to
them, with bandanas around their mouths witch gives
them a type of edgy look to each character, and
perhaps makes them look more like the type of kids to
be walking into danger as appose to away form it.(I.E in
abandoned buildings)
7. Lighting Plan
For my production making the two minute
scene, I will be using a light which is
attached to the top of the 700D, so the light
will never really be in one place. That said
it wouldn’t really look appropriate on a
lighting plan diagram. However if I was to
be filming more than 2 minutes, scenes
which require the actors to remain in one
spot, and include dialogue, I would
probably use an LED in order to light the
room/subjects, which would be a lot easier
to show on a diagram.
