Current Idea Inspiration
Don't Move
The short horror film, 'Don't Move', has been quite a significant inspiration in terms of the current ideas I've come up with. This was one of the original influences that the lead into and affected the ideas that have followed, since it laid out a few key concepts that we thought would be great to include in our own production. My production firstly take inspiration from this particular film, in terms of the certain aspects of the plot. Similarly to the film, I am going to have it focused around a group of young adults misusing an Ouija board which will release a spirit/demon that will seek to kill off the members of the group, until there's one left. I am going to also follow very similar character ideas, since we are planning on having an equal mix of both male and female characters, with each having a very distinct personality. The ending of our short film will also relate to a few aspects of the film's too, because of the way that the concept of the final girl will be shown, but then reversed in some way. We're also going to include the use of some sort of subtle indicator (similar to the concept of the spinning glass in 'Don't Move') throughout the film, that will signal a key clue as to what will happen and possibly a big twist.
Ouija
'Ouija' has provided inspiration in various aspects of my film, most notably in the way that my film also heavily revolves around the use of an Ouija board and how it leads to bad events within the plot. The main characters in the film are also young adults, who follow many of the character conventions we want to go for. They're also trying to contact the spirit of a recently deceased friend, which just ends up in this spirit they contact killing many of the characters.
American Horror Story - Murder House
This particular season of American Horror Story helped inspire the idea for my ending and the twist the plot will take. During this season, one of the main characters, Violet, tries to commit suicide by overdosing and gets very close to doing so, before she is saved by her friend, Tate. It is revealed in a later episode that she did actually succeed and that she has been dead for quite a while, which becomes evident when her body is found buried below the floorboards of the house. There are also certain points in which Violet tries to leave the house, only to be teleported back there such as in one episode when she leaves through the front door and instantly re-enters through the back door, suggesting that her soul is now bound to the house like many of the other spirits of people who died there previously. In my film, I am going to use this concept of having one of the main character die at an earlier point, only to have it revealed at a later time. I
am also going to use the idea of having the character trying to escape by running and leaving the house, but just being teleported back there.
Carrie
The film 'Carrie' (All versions) follows the story of a girl who is ridiculed by her fellow peers at school, which leads to her eventually snapping and trying to get revenge on all of the people who did her wrong by using her supernatural powers. I am going to loosely use this concept within my film, since this theme of revenge will be an important aspect of the overall plot too. It will be through the fact that in my film, the spirit will be trying to get revenge for it's death by killing the main characters that played a part in the events leading up to it.
