My idea:

My idea is two people hear stories about a house that someone could be inside and
that it’s haunted. They don’t believe the rumours and instead decide to go inside.
After walking in and looking around they don’t think anything of it. As they go room
by room they hear noises around the house. They think nothing of it and keep
looking around. They find a ladder to climb to go into a loft. They find a cd
suspiciously placed and a cd player, they play the cd disc, random and weird videos
are played. While watching it the light flickers and more noises go off. Things
around them start moving. Both look back to keep watching and one of them gets
taken and killed. He then looks around confused to see his friend has gone.

Target Audience

My target audience is 18-29 year olds. The reason why is that this age group likes
horror movies and mystery in films. With “haunted” scenes people in this age group
are most likely to enjoy the scenes in the horror.
