I have discussed the plan with my partner and have come up with this unique idea and film title:
Our film will be called "Decorus Nex", this is Latin for Beautiful Death.
As our film genre is horror/supernatural/haunting, we have decided that our main character is going to be a helpless female, and then later on in the opening, another character comes on who will be a creepy figure. We will be using a lot of close up shots to allow the audience to really connect with the female character.
At the moment we have a potential female lead that hopefully we could cast but we are still looking into it.
We have found a suitable location. We want the set to look fairly new. The character has just moved into the house so we will want everything that is involved in a house move such as boxes, objects being unpacked, and cheap plates that are breakable.
The film starts when our female character has just moved into her new house, the location is right next to a grave yard. She is still unpacking when she feels as if something was watching her and hears a light tapping on the window. She then looks out of her window and something swiftly shoots passed the window. As she lives on her own, she becomes scared. As she moves closer to the window to see if there is anything outside, her phone suddenly rings, adding tension to the atmosphere. The phone call is from her father. The atmosphere then calms down until there is an unusual soft banging at the door. This brings the tension back. She walks slowly towards the door, opens it and walks outside to see if there is anybody there. The door suddenly slams shut behind her and she cannot get it open. She then runs to her back garden to try and open her back door, to no avail. She looks through her kitchen window and sees objects such as furniture, crockery, utensils, slowly moving and smashing on the floor and moving around the kitchen. She sees the lights flickering and then notices a scary figure staring at her in her hallway. It scares her so she runs back round only to find that her front door creeks open. She walks back into her house, the door slams shut behind her, flickering lights come back and then the title comes up.
