The Women in Black













The Book










The Play





I have never seen the women in black or read the book, but one of the girls in my group had seen the stage play. I went to look up the plot and found that it's about a ghost who seeks revenge and gets it in the end. My friend told me that it was very scary and that you were on the edge of you seats in fear and that's something what we want in our film and would portrayed in the opening title sequence.

Most Haunted









This TV program was my inspiration for the Ouija board, mainly because the always use one in the program.

Inspiration






Paranormal Activity is an inspiration because it is about a young couple moving in to a new house that is haunted but they don't know and them themselves get haunted by this ghost. the film also includes a Ouija board scene. the way some parts of the film are shot is like how the Blair Witch Project is, on a hand held video camera and i really like this effect because I thing that it involves the audience more and it look more real life then an over edited piece of footage.
