Plot? Sorted!

Today Erin and I finally settled on our plot: Our project will be a short psychological horror centering around our lead girl: Tilly. One evening after football training Tilly and her friend are walking home, talking about a girl from their school who died mysteriously. They then part ways and soon we see that Tilly is being stalked by a unknown predator. This thing manages to climb inside Tilly's mind and drive her insane. Tilly encounters many frighting things on her way home, all of which are being created by the evil festering inside her brain. Finally she reaches her house, but one of the shadowy creatures she has been seeing grabs her from behind and begins to strangle her. She screams and her sister comes outside to help but sees only Tilly in state of panic, as the shadow figure is only in Tilly's mind. Tilly dies anyway and the film closes with a point of view shot on the ground where Tilly is lying, which then moves up towards her sisters face, this is meant to show the mental creature passing into her sister, just as the creature that killed the girl from the school passed into Tilly. Now we have a story i am really excited to start filming. My goals for the film is to try and emulate Stanley Kubrick and make every shot significant and to try and perfect our sound, because it will annoy me if it is not the best it can be.

  1. Hi Eliza, I like the protag's name, Tilly. This plot sounds original, which is good. It also looks like it will require very good SFX so start to consider (post ideas) about how you'll achieve the threatening shadows of the 'thing' in Tilly's mind. Your Treatment (and later, your editing expertise) will be essential here.
