Planning: Stage 2 - Decision Making

As a group, Fisheye Films, we have decided on our final idea. Our teen horror movie will be called 'Caretaker.' I feel that instantly our title is unique in it own way as we have added a '.' to portray that this is the end of the pupils, the finalization of death and the end.

Plot

The plot for the opening of 'Caretaker.' is based, closely to the stereotypical role of a school caretaker is twisted and juxtaposed. This enables it to fit in with the group of a horror movie.

Main plot summary

St Marlows school is known to be one of the best schools in the country, located on Mulberry Lane, Somerset  Over 3,000 children attend St Marlows and although it i a fee paid private school, it holds a deep, dark, underlying danger. Just like a normal, everyday school, the day consist of students arriving, learning and leaving the premises at 3.45pm. Like any school, those who break to rules must pay the consequences they deserve. This meaning, the consequence given to the students is death. Throughout the day, the caretaker appears to be doing nothing, but your everyday school caretaker making sure that the whole school is clean, top to bottom for the students, teachers and other members of staff in the school. When the bell sound the at exactly three o'clock, he changes from not being the normal caretaker that you would expect. The caretaker becomes unpredictable and without a doubt the most dangerous members of staff within the school grounds. The caretakers office along helps to connote this with a small sign reading 'strictly no entry' having valid reasons behind the door.

Over the past three years, 11 different students have gone missing and failed to return home from school. Coincidentally each of these students attended a session of detentions at the same school. Behind the normality and stereotypical antics of a school caretaker is an incredibly capable murderer.

The background behind this horrendous man consists of brutal moral principles of 'commit the crime, serve the time'. But these are taken to a whole different, new level slowly destroying every one of his remaining principles as he brutally murders those who cross the line within school.

12 year old Maria Denzil and a group of four teenage friends are caught possessing cigarettes and a lighter. These students are given a after school detention with the caretaker. This results in five teenagers fighting for survival in the place they once considered safe for them. But not no more.
