Hi, for those that don't know me i'd like to explain something.

Although i'm only 15 i have a handfull of qualifacations.
I go to college every monday and study film making and animation.
at the end of last term i got a thing through the post saying that i now have quallifacations in media skills and media production.
that made me think, i should make a movie.

i've been thinking for sometime and i've come up with an idea. here's a basic idea of the storyline, it's a horror and it stars me(i study drama as well).

at the beginning you see a boy falling out with his (obviously crazy) mom over his dads diccaperance. as he sits in his room he decides that he has had enough and he is going to run away from home. under the cover of darkness he ecsapes his house throught his bedroom window. he walks for miles and miles in the darkness trying to find the local youth hostel. he finally see's a light on in someones window and goes towards it. as he approches the house the light goes out. using the moonlight he stumbles down the path towards the house. he can makeout the shape of the door, opens it and stumbles in. after a brief sweep of the house he realises that no one is there. their is an old couch LYing the corner of one of the rooms so he decides to lie down and have a rest. he falls asleep.
the next morning he realises the door is locked and the windows have been borded up. , to cut a long story short their is a killer in the house. TheY ARE armed with an old rusty knife and attacks the lead character, cutting his arm deeply. jake (AKA the lead character) hides up stairs in a room. their is multiple close calls with the killer. and after being somehow pinned up against the wall by the killer he see's who it really is, his mom. we then see a flashback of her killing jakes dad. she starts crying and drops the knife on the floor and collapses onto the couch. jake picks up the knife in shock. the door is kicked open and jake gets shot by two armed policemen. his mom starts telling them how he went crazy and tried to kill her. jake is taken away in an ambulance. we then see a flash back oF the same scenE involving his dad. THE END.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

In a nut shell it sounds interesting but kinda like something that has been done, it needs some more twists and turns...

It's very interesting!! But give it a spin.

It sounds good but to make that into an hour and a half film at least it will need a bit more something to it,I can't put my finger on it but will need more. How old is Jake going to be? it sounds good,just feels like somethings missing. any reason she killed the dad in the first place,maybe put a bit of plot on why the mum is such a psycho,could be a good flashback scene of why she is nuts,etc.keep me posted on how this plot goes okay?

Sounds good. Is this just a rough daft? Iagree with the others too. It needs some twists and maybe a flash back about how the mother turned pyscho(husband used to beat her or was abusive. maybe). All in all i think it sounds good. Keep at it and let us all know how it's coming along!

thanks for the input guys! to answer some of your questions, jake is 16. this is just the rough draft. their is more to the story, i just gave you a rough outline. i've got the perfect huse to film it in. it's near mine and is basically the most haunted-like house ever!
