The Cast & Location


The cast in our film,
  • The media group:
Jodie (me) - The ghost, Saskia.






Jess - Camera crew







Kelcie - The director





  • Extras

Jenni - We asked Jenni to play the part in our film, of a girl who summons Saskia as she does not believe.
















Keira - We asked Keira to play the part of the girl who has seen her before and does not want her to be summoned again.

















Luke - We asked Luke to play the boy who is eager to summon Saskia as well.  











(They are all acting as themselves at a sleep over.)
We picked these people to be in our film as we know they will take it seriously and not mess around.


Meet Saskia,


This is Saskia which is played by me. I act the ghost who comes to presumably kill the other characters. I volunteered to be Saskia as I am tall which makes me look quite domineering, also I don't get embarrassed when I make a fool out of myself by making funny ghost noises.




This is a group shot of everyone who helped make the film. Except it doesn't include Kelcie, the director, as she doesn't like having photos taken. 



The location,


The location is going to be in my house, we are going to use my mother's bedroom as it has big mirrors in it. 



This is the bed where the girls will be sitting on.


These are the mirrors that the ghost will be called in.


This is a shot of the bed, mirrors and window. 


This is the roundabout which you can see outside the window, we may decide to do a shot looking through the window and seeing the ghost on the roundabout. 


The Plot

We have decided to base our film on the theme of 'The Candy Man', using a character similar to the grudge.




The plot is;
A few friends are having a gathering, they are  in one of the friends bedroom that contains large mirrors. One of the girls then stares into the mirror, suddenly experiencing a frightening flashback of the ghost Saskia. She then jumps with shock and gets the attention of the other girls, she then explains to them that the mirrors creep her out because she once called upon a ghost by chanting the words 'Saskia, Saskia, where is Saskia?' which she never thought would of happened. Her friends don't believe her and start to joke about, laughing at her, causing her to leave. Once she has left, the other girls take the joke even further and actually try out what their friend was telling them, they still don't believe anything would happen, so they jokingly chant the words 'Saskia, Saskia, where is Saskia?' After this has been said, strange things start to happen within the room, lights turn off, doors slam, blinds rattle and the girls get frightened and panic, not knowing what is going on. All of a sudden things quiet down, and out of no-where a groaning sound is heard by them, they start to panic more, screaming, and then one of the girls take out her torch on her phone, panning it around the darkened room looking for where the groaning is coming from, once she has turned the phone to face the bed, a mysterious, dead looking girl is there, staring at them. The girls stand there in shock un able to move while eyeing back at the ghost girl. Completely standing still, the ghost then lifts up her head, revealing her face, and screams unexpectedly. 

whilst filming, we decided it would be better if Saskia was under the bed instead of on the bed. we decided this as we thought it would be more scary and create a more jumpy atmosphere. 

Mind Map Of Names & Log lines








We all worked together to make this mind map of ideas for the title and logline for out film. To do this we had to think of names that suit a horror thriller. 




We chose the name 'They don't believe' and the log line 'When your eyes meet her's, you'll never escape.'

We chose the name 'They don't believe' because it fits in with the plot of our story, being as it's about a bunch of girls who don't believe the ghost Saskia exists.
