FIRST EXPERIMENT ON IDEA
My group and I decided to get a start on filming our first ideas on our OTS. On November ... we decided to go to the local cemetery (Coney Hill) and capture some photos and do some filming. I (Chloe) am playing a human figure of a doll, I was dressed in an old fashioned-like white top, black skirt, black tights and black brogues. The make-up I applied was basic make-up with an enhanced effect of boney-ness by contouring my cheek-bones and collar bones.
We filmed a few short clips of Reiss, who plays as "Dave" the camera man running, shouting and searching around for Anne played by Kenianne, his younger sister. Below are a few pictures we took of myself and Kenianne.

During the process of putting our footage together, we came to a conclusion that the idea of different perceptions of the doll was too much to be able to put together, not only make sense; but to keep within a 2 minute limit time-gap. We discussed an alternative which would be able to use some of the footage we had already filmed, with the acception of filming more footage. We decided that we would still keep the idea of the doll and include a deeper idea/meaning into demonic possession. We're trying to apply what we would've shown as a linear narrative of the daughter being possessed, into non-linear/symbolic narratives. Using the style of non-linear/symbolic narratives, we are applying the use of burning candles, paper, and "flash back"-like footage of the girl with the doll (which is being re-used from previous idea) to give off to the audience an eerie, dark atmosphere.

After multiple attempts of trying to piece the second OTS idea, we were unable create a story line which could fit. Our plan did not connect up to what we first imagined. Creating a whole new idea, but still staying under the sub-genre of paranormal, we have followed a route of researching about demonic possession. This idea will follow a non-linear story line. It will feature the following member Chloe Mann researching online and in books about demons and paranormal studies. After hours of research she will encounter a dark, cloaked figure that has an evil plan in store for her.
