The Short Film (Team) Project

We are required to produce a short film, (5-8 mins), based on one title combined with one genre from the lists. So we picked the title 'Rewind' and the genre is horror.

At the moment we have a working shot by shot storyboard with a script underway.

A complex plot line with some twists though out.

The Plot

Starts of with a documentary footage telling the back story of how five youngsters go to the asylum which is believed to be haunted as everyone who enters begin to crazy. The characters are Matt who is dating Beckah but she cheated on him with Chris. Matt also bullies Will who is the quiet kid who is seen as a outsider of the group. The final character is Kathryn the survivor who is the most sensible of the group. All of the characters begin to go gradually insane with Matt being affected the most. The first character to die Beckah fallowed by Chris after it all is revealed they have been seeing each other. Then Will dies leaving everyone believing Matt is the killer, he then kills himself, Kathryn goes to the police with the camera with footage of the night before. Eventually the truth comes out and how everything happened and why.

Shot ideas


After Matt steals the camera, he films himself going crazy then leaves the camera on the floor. Next shot is of someone's feet walking towards the camera, they pick it up and pan around to reveal the writing on the wall.

Filming a door slightly a jar when a bloodshot eye appears in the gap.

First day of shooting


Today we started with interrogation scene. We filmed Kathryn and Chris being interviewed by Detective Juliet.

Also Chris was interviewed.

The next scene we filmed was where Matt goes crazy. We picked the first aid room.

The third scene we filmed is Will and Ayse is being chased. Ryan was on the camera, because we didn't have steadicam in the uni Ryan sat on the wheelchair and Matt pushed him.
