After conducting research, i have decided on several aspects of my film.
The mockumentary/horror film will take the form of a fictional television programme, which was broadcast as a paranormal investigation into a haunted house.
The film will show the presenters of the show and people involved, but film audiences will only see what was supposedly meant to be broadcast on the show (making it feel as if it were a real programme, like in 'Live!' when it seems like the film audience are watching the reality TV show).
The investigation will take a turn for the worse as it becomes apparent that the paranormal activity in the house is genuine and the entity causing it is hostile towards presenters and crew.
The title of the film is the title of the fictional program which is "Ghosthunter2010" (the premise of the film (to be released on Halloween 2011) is that it is one year after the making of the programme), and that the footage was not supposed to be released. This is similar to the fake backstory used in the marketing of the blair witch, (found on the website,) which stated that the government intended to keep the footage, but after many court cases the parents of the missing teens gained the rights to release it. This carries on teh theme shown in [.REC] of the government being villainous and trying to keep the truth from coming out.
As preparation for writing the script, making a storyboard and preparing for filming, I will develop the plot, so I can give a sense of narrative in my trailer, and also begin to prepare locations/props for the film.
I have also prepared actors/actresses who I believe would suit the respective roles of characters in the trailer.
