- 1. The Script Introduction: A teenager is walking down on a quiet and lonely street one day before the night of the Halloween. Usually, the street was busy because that people were coming from work were passing through there, but this time, they weren’t. The night was perfect, but he was feeling strange, he was feeling like someone was watching him from the dark. He sees a letter with a weird code on it and he picks it up. Suddenly, the wind start blowing. He realises that the code is a binary code, and then he takes his phone out and translates it. After he reads the translation, he remains shocked and then he runs home. The next day, when he and his friends walk on the street to go to the first house for trick or treating, he suddenly stops and scared he says: *Teenager 1* - Guys, I already told you about that letter that I found yesterday, we shouldn’t do that, it is too dangerous, we should go home and I’ll buy you some candy if you want to, just…..let’s leave. *Teenager n 2* - That’s not the point of trick or treating, we are supposed to have fun not to eat candy, just because some drunk guy who wrote that and dropped it on the street it doesn’t mean that it is true. *Teenager 3* - You are such a loser, if you want to destroy our mood just go home, we won’t even miss you that much, you are kind of annoying. *Other teenagers agreeing in the background* - Yes, He should do that lol. *Teenager 1* - Ok then, see you tomorrow, if you will be alive. *Teenager 3* - Shut up, just go home. Teenager 1 leaving the scene, very sad and annoyed on his friends. *Teenager 2* - You were too rude to him, he is a nice guy. *Teenager 3* - Yeah, but he is a pu… The scene changes from the group of kids to the teenager 1 who is walking down the street. Suddenly a car stops next to him and asks him for ‘’directions’’ *Stranger* - Good evening, I am looking for the nearest gas station, and I don’t know where it is, can you help me please? *Teenager 1* - Yes, sure, so if you drive straight for 700 yards and then turn le…(the voice of the teenager can be heard in the background. The stranger seems like a nice guy. While he is giving the stranger directions, the trunk opens and a man wearing a black costume and a plague mask gets out of it. He sneaks behind the teenager, puts his arm around his neck, uses duct tape and put it on the teen’s mouth, he puts a cloth on his eyes and throws him into the trunk, and then he gets in the back seats and the car leaves.) The scene changes from the car to the group of teenagers.
- 2. *Teenager 2* - We should go to that house, I bet the door is open, I bet that they have a lot of candy. *Teenager 4 and 5* - We should totally go there. *Teenager 3* - I don’t know guys, it looks a bit strange, no one is in this area…. *Teenager 2* - Are you the baby now? *Teenager 3* - Noooo, I’m just joking, let’s go (His face expression shows that he is actually scared) They go to the door, and they knock on it. They can hear a kind voice of a woman which says: *Woman* - Come in guys, the candy is in the living room, take as many as you want! *Teenager 2* - What are you waiting for guys, let’s go in! A car parks in the parking lot, and suddenly the engine stops, but no one is getting out and no one seems that is in there. *Teenager 3* - Guys, don’t, I have a bad feeling, we should leave! *Teenager 4* - Omg I think that you are the annoying one, did you hear her voice? I bet that she is young and peng too! They are going into the living room. The house looks clean and nice, like a big and nice family was living there, they had no doubt about who is actually living there. They see a big bowl of full of delicious candy in the middle of the living room, and they go to take one. Suddenly, the front door shuts, and the man with the plague mask appears behind and blocks the exit. Then he sprays them into the face with a substance, and they faint and fall on the floor. Then, he drags their bodies at the car, and tries to put them all in the trunk. The scene fades out, and then a black image will appear. The scene is fading in again, with all the teenagers tied up a tree in a forest, on a drawing of a star which looks like a satanic symbol. *Teenager 1* - W-W-What is happening? What are you guys doing here? Is it a prank or something? *Teenager 2* - What are we doing here? WHAT IS HAPPENING? *Everyone at the same time screaming* - WHERE ARE WEE!! HEELPP! The stranger comes in front of the kids. They start screaming for help. He used the same spray to make all the kids faint, and then the camera lowers behind them. Chainsaw sound can be heard in the background, and then the scene will shade out, into a black screen with a message about strangers on it.
- 3. Soundtracks For our film we will use horror and scary soundtracks. After the movie ends, I found a copyright free soundtrack that we can use while we show our message and the credits. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOrxwqvfD2E&safe=active ) We will use sound effects from internet which are not copyrighted. Budget Our budget is about £50 which we will spend on the film expenses such as: ● Plague Mask- £15 ● Car fuel- £10 ● Rope- £5 ● Duct tape- £3 ● Candy- £5 Production Schedule Day 1 ; We would go chigwell to shoot our scene on the road and outside houses for ‘trick or treat’. Day 2; We will go to matei’s house(one of the teammates) to shoot the scenes where the teenager reads the binary code and goes on google to research on it. Day 3; We will come back school to look at what we have shot if we would have done any mistake or need any kind of upgrades we would shoot the scenes again with different shots. Day 4; We will go to maties house to shoot the scenes for trick or treat and how they get kidnapped. Day 5;
- 4. We would to the mac in our group to start to cut out scenes and do our editing of what we have shot and give it a structure. Day 6 and the days onwards; We would carry on with the same task until we are done|(editing). Site plans There will be no expenses for the sites in where we are going to work on, because we are just using two sites. We are using the house which will be one of ours that's why there won't be any expenses on house due to no rent. Our second site will be the streets and the same as with the house will be with the streets as we would just shoot our scenes without causing any harm to anything due to which we won't pay anything to shoot on the streets. In the last scene we need to show a forest , so for that we would go to a park and shoot the scene over there and it won't cost anything unless we cause harm to anything over there.

- 6. Risk Assessments We need to make sure that we will not distract and disturb other people while we would shoot the scenes on the street like by not blocking the way of the pedestrians or any cars by occupying space on the road. We need to make sure that we don't go on the road itself because it can lead to an accident. In the park we will go to shoot our scenes in forests so for that we have to make sure that we don't cause any harm to any animals there or any people there besides this we have to make sure that we don't break anything in the park. Above all the biggest risk for us is the camera that is gonna be given to us from the school so we have to be very very smooth,gentle and close to the camera and its equipment and keep everything in the case which is safe and more secure.
