Proposal to Horror sequence

In preperation for the initial stage of our coursework production we induvidualy pitched ideas for potential horror/thriller opening sequences.

This is a proposal that i gave to the rest of my class on an idea for the begginning sequence for a horror movie.


For my Horror I wanted to do a psychological style film. It involved a young boy who is deprived by his mother and so develops a condition. The sequence starts with a close up of a TV and a home movie of a boy trying to get attention from his mother but is failing. The scene then cuts to a professor who is giving a lecture to some university students. Every time the professor gives an example of the symptom the scene then cuts back to the video of the little boy and this then gives an example of the symptom. This then happens for about 1 minute then the camera tracks back from the tv so a clear view of the room is now in the mise en scene. The room is messed up and gives a scary effect, the video tape is then paused and then a man walks out holding the same teddy that the little boy is holding. Implying that the little boy is the man.
