This is our script. We used this a rough guideline for when we were filming to ensure we included certain things when speaking.
We discussed what we were going to use from the script on the day of filming the shots.

Our idea
We have decided to create a horror film opening as we enjoy this genre as a group the most. We've been influenced by films like Paranormal Activity and Insidious. This is because we intend to create a paranormal type film.
