Our Ideas and Final Idea

For one of our ideas we decided that we wanted to situate it within a house in the night. What would happen is a teenage girl would be either babysitting for someone or either their own little sister. Then when she is downstairs sleeping on the couch or watching tv or maybe both the baby monitor starts to go static and make weird noise. She is then woken up by a loud bang or something along those lines. She then slowly gets up and starts to wander round the house getting something to eat. She then again begins to slowly explore the house where lots of stereotypical noises happen with lots of mirror reflections and shadows casted of a mysterious figure in the background. She then hears a massive bang and runs to the baby's room and as she runs to the door she hears noises from inside. When she gets closer she slows down and slowly goes to open the door. zooming in to the handle or the door knob and then when she finally opens it, it then fades to darkness where the title comes up and it ends with that as a cliffhanger.

However after thinking back on this and evaluating it we decided this gave too much away and was almost like a short film in itself rather than an opening as leaving it with a cliffhanger would be a feature of a movie when the opening doesn't necessarily have to have closure or make sense but just connote the correct ideas or themes of the actual theme.

Therefore we then discussed this as our final idea:

The teenage girl is sleeping on the sofa downstairs with the tv on while the baby she is baby-sitting is upstairs. While she is sleeping there is a baby monitor and it starts making static and weird/paranormal sounds. She doesn't hear this. There is then channel switch in the tv that causes her to wake as the tv gets louder. She wakes up suddenly and looks around the room and then at the tv. She then gets up and heads to the kitchen and gets something to eat/drink. After this she decides to check on the baby so she slowly heads towards the babes bedroom. When she is on her journey stereotypical noises and features are present such as reflections, shadows, doors etc. Then when she is tarted to get closer to the door of the baby's bedroom the music or beat begins to get louder. This is either static or a big beat or bang that gets louder to represent the tension. This then reaches its height when she opens the door and everything is silent. She then walks in to the room with the door creaking swinging slowly open. She then walks in and stops. The the door swings shut suddenly behind her and the big beat or static suddenly comes up again as a sound match. It then fades to black and the title comes up with the name of our title (which is currently not decided) and the big beat or static is presented as sound bridge after the door shutting and carries on throughout the fade and then slowly fades out as the clip comes to an end. Along with the title.
