Proposal
RESUBMISSION
Who’s inside
Horror, Mystery
When things start disappearing
from her home, a woman must find the problem before she disappears with them.
Narrative overview
Act one: Sasha
and her mum come home from holiday, and while Sasha is doing her and her mums
washing, she sees someone watching her from the vent.
Act two: Sasha is at
school talking to Lily, who says she needs to tell someone and to not go home.
Act three: Sasha
rushes home after school anyway without telling anyone to find her mum being
dragged into the same vent in the kitchen. She tries to help but fails.
Characters:
Name: Sasha
Age: 14
Description: In the
film, Sasha is the main character. After returning home from a weekend away
with her family, she notices small things in her home are going missing and is
sure she is seeing someone in her house who is not meant to be there.
Name: Sasha's mum
Age: 34
Description: Sasha's
mum, she is always working and does not have a strong bond with Sasha as she
puts most of her time into her work. This is because Sasha was conceived when
her mum was 19 and given birth to when she was 20, though Sasha's mum did not
want a child and was always very career focused, she still had the baby. She does
not pay much attention to Sasha when she talks about ??? but does start
noticing a weird smell coming from the vents.
Name: ???
Age: 45-50
Description: A man
who lived in the ducts of Sasha's house. He would come out when no one was
home, or at night while they were all sleeping to eat. He would watch and
listen to Sasha and her mum through their vents.
Name: Lily
Age: 14
Description: Sasha's
best friend, she tries to tell Sasha not to go home and tell someone but she
doesn't listen.
Film treatment
For costumes, I
imagine everyday clothes for all the characters but for ‘???,’ make his clothes
look dirty, creased and torn. I imagine some parts of the film to be low key
lighting, usually when the camera is in the point of view of the ‘???.’ For
makeup and hair, I imagine ‘???’ Is dirty and has dirty, scruffy hair. I
imagine it is set in a 2-bedroom house with big ducts and a vent in (almost)
every room.
Film purpose
In a lot of horror
films, people usually move into a new house, temporarily on holiday or permanently.
This film will subvert the idea that you must be somewhere new for something
bad to happen.
Target audience
My target audience
is for people who are around the same age as the main character, and older (14+)
and it is for any gender.
Legal and Ethical
considerations
One legal issue I
could have is copyright. The story about people living in walls has been told
through other short films and news articles.
