Duration: 2 minutes (approx)

Audience
The certificate of this film will be a 15, because it will show graphic violent scenes that are not suitable for anyone under 15.
The audience will be made up of 15 to 35 year olds, so these are the people our film needs to target. Obviously because our film is a 15, it will not be suited for families with young children. There is no specific gender that this film will be aimed, but stereotypically it may appeal more to men.
Similar films that our audience may choose to watch would be films like ‘The Exorcist’, ‘End of Day’ and ‘9th Gate’. These films are all based around demons and being possessed. Our target audience will more than likely want to see the film for the thrill and shock of it, because to see a scary film they have to like the genre itself.

Synopsis
The first scene will be dark, a point of view shot of someone stumbling up a flight of stairs, staggering around breathing. Then there will be some low shots of the persons feet, from knee below showing them scrambling around until they come to a door, which the scratch at and try to open. Inside the room we see a shot of the door from the bed point of view, then the bed from the door. Someone wakes up with a shock, looking scared and wondering what’s making the noise. The scratching and noises stop and the girl noticeably relaxes. The door bangs open and she screams, but is then relieve to see it’s her sister, however she doesn’t know that her sister is possessed. She says that she’s thankful it’s her and she thought it was someone else, but then she sees that her sister is not normal and fear creeps up on her again. Then it’s very still as they look at each other, the possessed person very glazed over but very evil and vile, and the girl in the bed looking horrified. Then lots of quick cuts, screaming and struggling will instantly quicken the pace, hopefully scaring the audience. We then see the possessed girl brand her sister, lots of screaming and stuff. Then it will eventually quieten and the possessed person will leave the room.

USP
It gets straight into the action. It will have a lot of quick editing and handheld shots to make the action seem scarier. There will also be some quick music to add to the effect.
