Monday 10th October
Meeting lasted 2 hours
Our final plot synopsis has been completed. After researching and merging together our individual ideas we came to a conclusion of what we wanted to include in our final plot. We now had to think about presenting our plot to the teachers to see if our plot was going to be successful.
Me and Lauryn during the first hour of the meeting typed up our final plot and even when typing it up we were including fresh ideas that most suited our genre. We found it difficult to narrow our plot synopsis down to 500 words due to the amount of detail that we included in order to make the plot exciting and different.
The final plot is:
Blake is your average 19 year old, he lives for the party lifestyle, the alcohol and the girls but he has a bigger passion than all of that, he loves photography. When Blake was 5 he was given his first camera by his loving Grandad who passed away a year ago, he'd take his camera everywhere he went capturing his memories from holidays to going to the park with his friends. As Blake grew older he was becoming more and more recognized for his artistic style and went to collage to take a course.
After returning back to his small hometown, Abergavenny, Blake decides that he wants to find out more about his Grandad's career in photography and follow in his footsteps to become as successful as he did. Connor travels to his Grandad's old studio where the magic happened and the photographs came to life with spectacular colour.
However when entering the studio Blake has an uneasy feeling that runs through his veins. He sits on a tattered chair and puts his head in his hands 'BLAKE'...a hoarse voice whispered, it became louder and louder so that someone was screaming his name. Blake shot up in his chair and looked around him, the voice stopped chanting his name and he realised he was alone.
The moonlight glistened through the old Victorian windows and shone upon a suitcase that sat upon his Grandad's old desk, the beautiful brass handles that were attached to either side of the case caught his eyes, he walked across the worn floor, broken glass crunched beneath his feet, fallen pictures created a blanket by the walls. Blake picked up the suitcase, a shiver down his spine, a whip of cold rushes through the air, and the only sound you could hear was Blake's deep breath in.
A loud knock is heard at the front door of the studio which is situated downstairs 'Hello, is anyone there?' Blake jumps but doesn't reply. He hides under his Grandad's desk, the blanket of dust and cobwebs chocking his throat as he holds his breath to keep quiet, soon quiet footsteps become louder suggesting that the intruder is getting closer to him. Connor looks down at the ground from beneath the desk to see two polished boots, he looks further up to see a confused police officer looking around, his torch shinning on the four walls, but someone catches Blake's eye, the only pictures that remained on the wall were of him, pictures of him in college at parties, pictures of him drinking and hanging with girls.
Thoughts rushed through Blake's head 'How could this of happened?' he questioned himself. His thoughts were interrupted by the booming sound of the police radio and Blake watches the police officer run towards the stairs and out the door. Blake shoots up and runs over to the wall where the photographs were hanging, he rips them down and holds them to the window so that he can see them more clearly, his eyes focus on the date at the bottom right of the picture which states that it was only taken three weeks ago, yet his Grandad passed away a year ago. As Blake looks more closely he notices something written on the back of the photograph but the writing begins to run, it looks thick and red, as he turns the photographs around the writing reads 'Say Cheese!' its written in blood. The blood drips on Blake's hands, he drops the photograph in horror and screams a sickening scream.
He runs down the stairs and gets out his phone to call the police, he pulls open the front door with an almighty force but hanging in the door frame , blood dripping down his face onto his uniform was the police officer that visited the building a while ago. A bloody smile was scratched into his face, Blake reaches out to touch the officers neck to find a pulse but just as his fingers were touching his neck Blake hears a female scream, he runs back into the studio, bloody handprints printed along the walls and up the stairs.
As Blake gets upstairs and enters the studio room a flash happens, a camera flash, as if someone is taking a picture of him. He runs to the nearest camera he can see and looks back at the last photo taken, the picture was of him but as he looks more closely there's a female behind him, a bloody smile also engraved deeply into her face, he turns around in shock but there's no one there, not even the female seen in the photo.
He takes a photograph facing in the direction of where the female was standing and he looks down at the camera to view the photo he'd just taken except there was nothing there. He takes another one and counts down from 5, every time he counts down he takes another photograph 5...4...3...2....1 but as he gets to zero he feels someone breathing heavily on his neck slowly making their way up to his ear, he stays still and someone whispers '0' Blake takes the photograph, the light from the flash lights up the dark and gloomy room, all that can be heard is the sound of the click and the camera winding down after taking the photograph.
Blake pulls the camera away from his face to look at the screen, yet again he see's nothing on the pictures that he had taken but as he looks up from the camera screen he sees a man with a bloody smile engraved into his face running towards him, his mouth torn apart, his teeth all blood stained and yellow and his eyes bulging out of their sockets. The man gets closer and closer to him screaming and laughing 'Remember me Blake' he pushes Blake onto the floor and starts screaming in his face 'remember me! I wanted to be friends with you! you never wanted to be around me though did you'
The male monster picks up Blake and throws him into a computer screen causing it to flicker, on the screen Blake can see a Facebook page called 'HATE FOR CHARIE' a picture of the male, he looks smartly dressed in a shirt and tie, his black framed glasses sitting low on his nose as he smiles with a trophy in his hand, abusive comments posted one after the other except one catches Blake's eyes in particular, it reads:
Blake Lively commented: Trophies mean nothing mate, you'll never be a photographer and we both know it, the only time I'll be pointing a camera at you is on your funeral day when I get front page in a newspaper for world's best photographer'
Then the computer screen flickers to a BBC news page, the headline reads 'Bullied boy commits suicide with a deadly smile' and a picture of a coffin was underneath the text. A booming hoarse voice can be heard and a flash happens again revealing the monster in the corner of the room, a repetitive flash keeps going off making a moving picture.
The monster can be seen picking up the female body up off the floor and carrying it towards Blake, he lies the boy on the desk next to Blake and a flash is given off. A picture appears on Blake's lap and of him and the girl but instead of the girl lying on the desk she can be seen with her arms around Blake kissing his cheek. Blake screams in terror.
'Now I've got your attention! Everyone you love is Dead! Now you can focus on me for once! All I wanted was your attention because I wanted to be as successful as you! except you bullied me! made me a fool! I killed myself to get your attention! you said you'd take my picture on my funeral day and you still didn't! you lied! I WANT REVENGE FROM ALL THE PAIN YOU PUT ME THROUGH!'
A flashback can be seen through Blake's eyes of Charlie walking the corridors of college and Blake is laughing at him, the image of Charlie walking through the corridors flickers like a glitch between Charlie and the monster that he has become'
Multiple flashes go off and hysterical laughing can be heard and screaming of terror and pain coming from Blake can be heard too. A final flash goes off and the audience are left with a picture of Blake with a bloody smile engraved into his face smiling next to Charlie, this is the last the world will see of Blake and Charlie again.
