Narrative ideas for our film

Characters:

Little girl as the ghost - 10 -13 years of age

Older teenage to play the victim that is getting haunted - 16 - 17 years old

Storyline ideas for our opening:

Boy victim wakes up in the middle of an apparently 'empty' playground and can't remember how he got there. As he gets up and looks around, different play equipment in the playground starts moving on its own. The swing starts swinging, the merry go round is moving round and the see-saw goes up and down on its own. The fog/mist starts forming at the feet of the boy victim and he can see a human shape through the fog. As it clears he sees a little girl and he calls out to her. The girl doesn't reply and instead sings a nursery rhyme in a slow, creepy voice. The victim keeps calling out to her and starts to walk towards her but as he does the girl disappears and moves to a different part of the park. The girl laughs at the boy as he becomes annoyed at her from moving and disappears again. The boy is glancing around and can’t see her. He sees something on the ground and goes to pick it up as he bends down the girl is stood behind him…

Costume:

The costume for our ghost will be dressed in a white, bloody, old fashioned dress and a long black matted wig which covers her face.

The make up on the ghost is a white pale face, with black tear lines down her face and red sore eyes.

The boy would be in his pyjamas so it gives the illusion that he has woken up and that it is happening at night time.

Setting:

The setting of our film is in a playground at night time. However, as members of my group said that it was difficult to film at night we will film in the day and add the dark effect when we edit it. Therefore, the lighting would be just natural daylight. Another effect that we will add is a grey/blue tint to the film as in The Ring, it gave a eerie effect to the opening and made it seem like something dark and dangerous was about to happen.
