Ingredient List

I have decided to create a mock-horror film:
Protagonist:
  • Suspicious character
  • Unknown protagonist
  • Werewolves, zombies, mutants, mental patients, vampires
Antagonist
  • Vulnerable character which changes
Settings:
  • Mansion
  • church
  • graveyard
  • Abandoned warehouse
Themes:
  • Scary music
  • suspense building

Idea Planning

  • Girl goes to school, she is the only one there and doesn't know why. She searches and searches, but can't find anyone everywhere. Turns out that the school has been taken hostage. (horror, thriller)
  • Girl goes to school, similar plot as above, but twist shows that there is a completely reasonable explanation, at school on a public holiday or surprise party for her. (?)
  • Girl and boy meet and fall in love. Have a summer romance, but he dies. Film is based around her reaction to the tragedy and how she copes. (drama)
  • Character dies, film focuses on the reaction of friends and family. Best friend, enemy, boyfriend, mother, father and sister all react differently to her death (drama)
  • Girl changes school, and leaves her old life behind. She is popular at her new school, then something happens and her past is brought into the present. (drama)
  • Boy and girl 'battle of the sexes' style charade. Play tricks on each other, end up falling for each other (romantic comedy)

Jack makes a break for it, cuts to shots of the to characters running through different locations. At the beginning of the scene, dramatic music is playing and when the chase occurs, the music changes to car chase music.

___

____ is a smart scholarship student. The over confident, self absorbed head master of the school is sure that he is the smartest. One day the principal asks his magical diploma if he is the smartest, and the diploma says not for long, because Snow White is becoming smarter everyday. The principal is enraged and changes Snow White to all the lowest classes, where she doesn’t learn anything. Eventually all of the teachers work out what is happening and rise up, seizing control of the school and putting Snow Whit back in her original classes.
