Spooky Scary (short film) Skeleton

Back again guys,

Me and Jules had a big sit down during class and fashioned our first ever outline of the basic plot structure of this film we have no idea what to call yet. I'll post updated versions in some other blog posts (though they may not get their own posts), but for now this one gets its own post. I'll let the outline do the talking for now and at the end I'll feature a few "editor's notes":

Outline

Sick, so that was basically it. It is super, duper rough right now so I am not gonna try to be the most analytical of people but with that said here's a few notes:

*I think the specification of man is kind of unnecessary. If anything we should hardly be seeing the subjects face for most of the film until it matters.

*I think it kind of mirrors the "in house" horror of Hereditary, not cause it's a family horror but because its happening all in one house.

*the script (which Jules offered to write) will end up being mainly descriptions.

Those are basically my thoughts for now on the outline. Seeing as how I lack any major updates aside from that, that may be it for this post! I still don't feel creative enough for an outro phrase though, so I guess I have something else to work for besides my project.
