Initial Ideas - FMP

FMP - Short horror film

Horror films reflect what society is afraid of

Dementia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loksPQ7Q8tM

• Creature/figure that everyone can see apart from victim

• "Creeps up on you" - gradually gets closer to victim, closer it gets, the worse the symptoms get

• Makes victim forget things, makes it difficult to communicate and causes disorientation

• World decays around them plants, food etc.

• Same song throughout

• Non linear timeline

• Similar to 'It Follows'

Synopsis

A young person unknowingly picks up a haunted object which seemingly moves on its own. As they spend more time with it makes them forget, unable to communicate, food to rot, plants to die and days to disappear.

What I need to produce:

• Short film

• Trailer or teaser trailer?

• Poster

• Synopsis

• Script

• Storyboard
