Assessment 5 - by the whole group

Plot Synopsis:

A bullied child attempts to get revenge on the group that led her too an attempted suicide, leaving her scarred and stuck in a half life. School children, from the school she attended , begin to disappear mysteriously one by one and charred photographs appear in the school grounds. The victims of this crazed girl are forced to do things, that they have no control over, before their death. The killer in our film uses the magic of voodoo and puppetry to control her victims, leaving no trace of herself on their bodies. The group from the opening sequence try to stay safe by backstabbing each other and trying to fight for survival.

Opening Sequence:

Our opening sequence will be a flashback. A group of rebel school children break into there school after hours as they have heard that it is haunted. They break into the drama studio, the oldest part of the building, and begin to vandalise it . The group's geeky character, Polly, is told to keep watch of the doors to protect the group. As she stands outside, Pricilla (the killer), seeks her out as her first target. Pricilla starts to use puppetry and Polly flies through the doors back into the studio, scaring her friends. It soon becomes apparent that Polly is under Pricilla's magical voodoo powers. The sequence ends with Pricilla hanging over Polly.

Target Audience Appeal:

Our film will be rated 15. We decided on this because our film will appeal to teenagers and young adults. This means the gore and language will not be as bad as it would in an 18 rated film. We thinks that teens will be able to relate to our characters and understand them batter than an older audience would. Our film has appeal as it is a new theme and is modern in the way it reflects british society.
