Initial Ideas

Name
1. Trapped in a bunker
  1. Enclosure
  2. Shelter
  3. The Bunker
  4. Six Feet Under
2. Church
  1. Massacre
  2. The Congregation
  3. The Crypt
Plot
1. Our main idea was to torment with people's claustrophobia and fear of being trapped.
  1. Bunker
    1. The scene murder of a brother and sister in a wartime bunker is revisited by a group of curious teenagers in the present day.
      1. A 1940's narrative would be the USP, and make the most of our individual location.
  2. Church
    1. A group of young adults visiting the church get locked in with, unknown to them, a spirit. They find traces of this going back to the 1500's.
      1. There are already old scratchings on the walls of Ashwell Church, linking to a local myth.
Costume and Props
1. Church
  1. Stereotypical fashionable contemporary clothing for realistic a realistic effect.
  2. Modern products that a young adult would typically carry with them, for example smart phones. The church would be dressed as normal.
2. Bunker
  1. The characters from the wartime era would be dressed in typical 1940's clothing, which we would research further. The teenagers from present day would be dressed in casual but fashionable clothes.
  2. We would make gas mask boxes for the wartime narrative, as well as relabelling old cans and boxes so the bunker looks realistic of the time. We would also need sheets and blankets for the beds in there. For the present day we would need junk food, smartphones and chargers and modern sleeping bags.
Narrative
1. Title sequence over narrative
2. Possible action (in the case of the bunker)
Characters
1. Of a relatively young age and mixed sex to appeal to our target audience
  1. Being of a similar age to the target audience makes them empathise more with the character and plot
  2. Different genders will broaden the target market group and could be used for further plot developement
Location
1. Isolated areas to make the audience feel unsafe
  1. e.g. Weston Woods
2. Small areas/ places people could be trapped, one of our primary ideas was to use the audience's claustrophobia
  1. e.g Ashwell Church
  2. e.g. Bunker
Inspiration
1. Bunker
  1. We both prefer the aesthetic of old hollywood films and wanted to incorporate this into our horror film after looking at Universal Monsters and Cat People (1944).
2. Our own fear of claustrophobia
3. Church
  1. Local myth surrounding the church
