A group of friends have decided to go camping for the weekend in a forest, rumored to be

haunted.

The first night, sounds and screams are heard around them. One male (Jack) of the group

goes to explore to put the friends (Charlotte and Vinnie) minds at ease. When the male

hasn’t returned by the morning the friends are fearful.

The second night approaches and with Jack still missing the friends go looking for Jack. The

forest is thick and dark. The friends slip down a hill which leaves one of the friends with an

injured ankle. They find Jack’s shoe and follow the directions of some marks that surround

the shoe.

They come across an abandoned building. With no ability to see, one friend trips over

something which they discover is Jacks body.

TEXT IDEA

After the text the recording begins.

Charlotte and Vinnie decide to go back to camp and warn the others of Jacks death. Filming from

their phone they use the light to guide them down the path in the direction of the campsite

Distant screams and steps getting closer are heard. They panic when the beam of the light flashes

across a figure in the distance.

They scream and run as the light is reflected off a knife. With the bad ankle, Vinnie trips and falls

to the ground.

It cuts to the man raising his weapon, then crosses to Charlotte running away.

Charlotte hears a scream

The recording crosses to Vinnie who is now dead

NARRATIVE

It starts with an equilibrium there is a disturbance which is Jacks death

Our film has no resolution

It is an open ending and is left to the audience imagination if the girl gets killed or not

Set in a forest at night, the lighting is dark which creates a sense of tension

We are filming some scenes with a mobile phone which has torch which will shine certain

places with light which will also cause tension
