Horror Synopsis

Our horror synopsis starts with a young girl living in a new house, we shoot everyday normality of her and her family. Then events start happening which are unexplained, the girl has started sleep walking, and as she does, she does weird things such as getting knives from the kitchen, writing in blood on the walls, turning lights on in the middle of the night. The events that she does get worse and worse so the parents decide to put up CCTV cameras around the house once they realize its their daughter that is doing all these terrible and weird things. They capture footage of her acting possessed as she is sleep walking, there is one scene where the girl is rocking in the dark with her hair over her face and when she looks up she starts screaming with editing that will distort her face.
The parents then find under the floorboards in the little girls room a diary that was written years ago by a family who used to live in that house. They discover that their little girl is repeating the events in the diary, the girl who used to live there was also sleepwalking and doing strange things to her family. The parents search the girls name on the internet and find that the family were all tragically murdered by their daughter... they then start to panic, relying on the diary to find out what happens next, but with pages missing they struggle to know whats going to happen next.


We will include normal filming but after events start occurring, we will edit the camera footage in certain parts to make it CCTV footage. We will also use a sound bridge at the start from when the production companies are on screen the dialogue is creating suspense of what is happening. With an open line like 'Who turned the light on last night' or something similar. I think that creating shots of the girl acting innocent like swinging on a swing in her garden will create some sort of innocence to her role that makes the audience see how something they dont ever think they could fear actually becomes monsterous.
