The pitch

When deciding on a film idea, my group initially wanted to do a horror. This is because it was our favourite genre, and it would be the funnest to do. We had a good understanding of typical horror conventions, which we wanted to follow. While planning the production, we had various different ideas and plots:

Possession- A young girl/ boy becomes possessed by an evil spirit.

Ghosts-
Haunted House/building- A group of teenager go into a haunted building


Eventually the group decided to focus on spirits, and contacting with the dead. Although spirits are a common theme in horros, ouiji boards are rarely used in plots.In the film a group of teenager find an ouiji board, and in using it contact evil spirits.
There were three main characters:

Jagdish- She played the role of the girl who was opposed to contacting the dead. Often in horrors this character survivors, another convention we copied.

Sam- He played the character of the dead boys brother, owning the board. Although his dialogue was brief, he was a crucial character in the plot.

Emma- I played the girl who obligued her friends to use the board, and inevitably became possessed.
