Film: Updated final idea

Out of the three initial ideas this is the idea that will be used after considering data gathered from the surveys and the research of previous horror films-

In modern horror movies, we tend to see children used to create fear and tension in the audience, this is because we create the assumption that they are innocent. This horror movie begins with four British youths who display arrogance, boisterous and disregard for the law which will be reinforced in the area of the film, clothing and behavior. The four boys who go by the name of Jayden, Craig, Aaron and Sam were out on Halloween looking for trouble however stumble across a house which had been locked off with police lining due to the horrific murders that have occurred there. One of the boys Jay will dare the other boy, Sam to enter the house however as he does the other boys make a Video recording in which they will upload to social media. As doing so the boy enters the house, unaware of the history of the house, the boys unknowingly follow. Prior to entering the house, the dared boy is wearing a locket, which was passed down by his grandparents who received it from their grandparents; held significant sentimental value, the locket had never been opened and never could be opened. As they enter the house they explore although as they get upstairs the boys enter a room in which they see the a little boy in the corner of the room dressed very old fashionably, at this point the boys try escape however the locket is pulled towards this corner in which he snaps and leaves on the floor. The boy who took the video identified that they could see the little boy stood on the balcony however this was only visible through the camera, at this point the boys decide to return the next day however their behavior changes, less boisterous and more on edge, they slowly enter the house to retrieve the locket, Sam enters the same room however he freezes at the sight his locket has been opened(first time seeing the contents of the locket). The three other boys try turn Sam although he turns around eyes rolled back and screams at the vlog camera as if he has been possessed, the boys try to escape although each potential exit slams shut, light bulbs blow and eventually theirs only one door left and a flashing dim light at the end of this room. The boys edge for the exit however interrupted by Sam who is no longer Sam, at this point he has been possessed and the little boy is stood behind him, the scene ends here on a cliff hanger, however the last seen states that these four boys were never found by the locket remained their, closed.

  1. A detailed description of your updated ideas but you need to comment on how your audience research links with or lead to the changes and updates you have made.
    You also need to consider character types, location and props as well as the plot.
