OUTLINE- Our opening is set in an unnamed town. There are rapidly increasing numbers of people of all ages going missing throughout the town and only the supposed sighting of an eerie figure linking them all together. Officer David Smith decides that he'll be the one to get to the bottom of these disappearances, but will he like what he uncovers the real cause of the situation that's slowly taking over the town.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWN-

The haunting spirit associated with disappearances, she’s un-named, presumed to be within in the age group 15-20, she has long black hair, very pale skin and we never really see the full extent of her face.

We might also have a voice over which would be a sort of police radio style thing, however this would only be included if we feel that it would add context to the opening.

Played by Saffron (Understudy: Millie)

RATIONALE-

We based our film around the location which sounds inconvenient but really helped to create a good image for our film as it gave us an accurate final mental image and inspired us. Rather than creating a story but it then didn’t correlate with the setting that we imagined.

We chose this particular genre as we felt that it was easier to create an idea for it and to also be able to execute it well with the settings provided e.g. Winter and i was then easier to create the conventions associated with the genre.
