Costume idea

The idea for costume for the ghost came from the film ' The Ring'

Another Movie Relating To Ghost N Stuff

The Idea For My Own Film Title

Priest scene

The majority of the scenes are going to be set in the bedroom, as thats where most of the 'hauntings' take place, the camera is going to be placed in the corner of the bedroom, capturing the ghosts movements as sush.

When the priest comes to investigate the ghosts activities, he enters the doorway but can go no further because the ghost is blocking him out, preventing him from entering. It will be as if he has walked into a glass doorway, even though it will be perfectly normal for everybody else to pass through. The mid-shot, eye-level angle shot will be positioned just off centre of the doorway and at angle giving a disoriented and confused effect of the character as he is unable to enter. There will be no lighting effects min this scene is it is set in the doorway with natural light coming through the curtains/windows. The shots will be shot-reverse-shot during dialog between characters.

Photo's Of Paranormal Activity

Resume:

Tom Redfield and Jade Clarke the main two characters are two young lovers. At the age of 13, Jade was haunted by a supernatural being, of which she could not escape from. 10 years later she settled down with young love Tom Redfield. She thought that the supernatural haunting had left her for good; she was beginning to be proved wrong when strange things began to happen.

As Tom decides to catch the ghost on camera, things start to become even worse. After all these terrifying events taking place, Jade decides they should talk to an exorcist. The exorcist decides he cannot help them due to the forces of evil being too strong.

Suggested elements:

1. Ghosts ‘n’ stuff is going to be similar to Paranormal Activity. In terms of the type of story and the film style

2. Going to use special effects to create the supernatural realistic effects. For example, make the ghost look realistic and scary.

3. Going to use lighting, this way we can make a better effect of the film. For example, the lighting on the ghosts face could be made to make the ghost unfriendly and scary.
