Killer Character – We are 99% certain we will be Using Jamie Fisher as our killer character who is going to be called The Hooded Figure. But as he had a busy schedule we drafted in Jacob O’Shea. His has a similar build to Jamie which is tall and Thin but muscular. Tall characters are very good as they look dominate and they can overpower people lot easier. Also by him being a thin build muscular build he has a mussels so he seem fit so he will not get tired so he will not fail in the quest of stacking Grace.

Female Character – We are not that certain who we will be using Grace Birchill. She is a typical blond girl so she seems vulnerable and also defenceless as she is going to be stacked while she is alone. She is also short so it emphases the fact that she is vulnerable.

Other characters – We should not be using anyone else but we might just have a few local people in the film as they go around doing there day to day life. We would like to have no one in our film because that would create a better atmosphere and at would give the allusion of isolation and desolation.

• Piano music, also birds but then turns into tense music
• Panning of the landscape
• Use of computer typing and close up of computer screen words
• Mixture of black and white and colour

• Goes dark with only a lighter lite – blown out in slow motion

• Different shots of two guys walking
• Typical villain – black hoodie
• Dialogue music is tense
• Twist being right at the start
• The title is very interesting

A brief synopsis of the plot

A brief synopsis of the plot

Young girl named Jessica previously lived in the city and her and her parents moved to the country a year ago. They bought a house in countryside at a low price. In the year they have been there, there has been many weird occurrence, such as; things going missing etc.

The reason these are happening is that the land has been sacred for many years and was used for rituals. The house was then built and has been haunted ever since.

Jessica then finally gets chased by the cult and find the object that they worship, and then the cult die or move on.
