We now after the weekend and a day of discussion have a basic plot worked out for our short film, the main things we have to focus on now is finding actors to play all our roles, a bathtub and a location for Dorothy’s house.
Our basic story line will include Dorothy and Toto finding the shoes somehow, perhaps in an attic or at a garage sale ect. We want Dorothy to have a very pure, (undeserving of curse) appearance, we want her to appear genuinely kind and likable so that when things go bad for her the viewer will have formed an attachment and feel sad or otherwise emotional about Dorothy's plight. The main action in the story will be Dorothy's transition from normal to possessed which will be shown by an afterwards unaware Dorothy surveying the damage. We have a couple of ideas about slightly about disturbing things that could happen but I'm not yet ready to publish our intentions. The end is also very important in the horror genre, we need to make sure that evil succeeds and we see the it set to move on to the next person and repeat the cycle. ie. the shoes will find a new, undisclosed owner (by not knowing who this increases the 'could be me' sense).
