ideas
Our initial idea was our film to be about a man that was abused throughout his childhood which led him to commit suicide. His spirit did not rest in peace and than torments people during present day. After filming clips for our opening sequence, we found that when putting them together they did not fit well and when receiving comments from people who have watched the sequence we found it looked like 2 different storylines in one video so after doing some planning and research into what people preferred most when watching our opening sequence we decided to change our idea and have the killer be the child and explain his backstory. We initially had the idea of adding a clip from youtube of a boy brutally attacking a young girl at nursery as a young boy who is the main boy had a troubled childhood. The clip isn't too explicit as we had cropped and trimmed the clip so that it wouldn't offend the audience,we thought that we could interpret the clip and made our own.
CCTV footage was filmed by us of a young boy violently vandalising a class-room and showing inappropriate behaviour.

children in horror
Horror films with children involved as children are stereotyped as innocent,but in horror films are perceived to be the killers and the violent one in the family. Some films that involve children in are Carrie,the ring, Orphan and the exorcist. In our film we intend to use a child to make it seem more scary.
