Initial Planning: One Page Sypnopsis

One page synopsis


The name of our film will be "Jack" and it will be a thriller. 

A young boy named Jack leaves his sisters’s house to walk home, haunted by the ghost of 'Fred'.
We will have Jack shouting goodbye to his friend, and his friend responding “Bye, Jack!”
Following this, Jack will shut the door and leave the house
He will be wearing generic teenage-boy clothing: A hoodie and jeans
He will have his headphones in and be walking happily
There will be no other speech in this part of the film

Walks through the graveyard, and notices his name on a gravestone 
Jack will enter the graveyard (possibly in Middleton Cheney)
By this point it will be starting to get dark
He still has his headphones in, listening to music, walking happily
The camera will follow his gaze as he reads some of the gravestones
The camera will them skim past “JACK ADDIS” written on a gravestone
Jack will suddenly stop walking and take a step back to reread the name
He will slowly take his headphones out and stare, open mouthed, at it
He will then proceed to slowly kneel down to it

Sees a group of dead-looking children walking towards him
Jack has his head down, focusing on reading the gravestone
As he slowly looks up, he notices a row of dead looking children emerging in a row through the fog
They are all dressed in tatty, mangled looking Victorian style clothes, with blood on them 
He shouts out “HEY, WHO ARE YOU?” to which none of them reply
They slowly walk towards him, gradually getting closer
Jack scrambles about to get to his feet, and begins to back away

Runs away, trying to get home quickly
The camera shots go between Jack frantically running, getting faster and faster as he gets more freaked out, and the dead children seemingly walking quite slowly, but not getting any further away.
The music will by fast pace and scary, as well as having Jack’s heavy breathing and the children’s laughter over the top of it
It will be very dark
He will run through a field, towards what looks like an abandoned shelter

Is found hanged
The final shot will be of inside the abandoned shelter
You will see the children sat around in a circle, laughing
Whilst the camera shot goes up to see a noose around Jack’s neck and a final shot of his feet swinging slowly back and forth Runs away, trying to get home quickly.
