Who we want to be in our film.

• We would want Crispin Glover to be in our film because he’s a very scary man and he plays a scary man in most of the films that he’s in, therefore he would be a very believable character.

Idea Number 2

horror, e.g. children's dolls, old rocking chair etc.• Nice sunny day to make audience feel like the old

man is nice.

Story Line • The story of an old, quiet man who lives on his

own, he doesn’t have any friends or any family. This man seems like a nice person to the neighbours, yet little do they know that this man is a psychopath who keeps tied up victims in his basement. Throughout this film we will see the different people that have affected this old man, making him do the things that he does.

Billy was starting his GCSE's in the next upcoming months and was struggling coping with the stress, the stress of his exams, and the upset of him being bullied was too overwhelming and he lost his mind.

Who we would like to be in our film

• The person who I would have liked to be in our film is Jesse Plemons as he played a great role as a bully in the film ‘Like Mike’ although he is too old now, to play a 16 year old boy in our film.

Who we want our director to be.

• James Cameron is one of the best directors in the world and has directed some amazing films, therefore we would like to have him direct our film.
