Opening Three Minutes


Sam's Film Idea

Opening 3 minutes; 
Wide shot of 5 teenagers (A, B, C, D and E) shows them messing around outside, it's quite late and getting darker. They walk past an old abandoned building and A is already intrigued. He runs up to the entrance as a joke not thinking the door would be open. B pushes him into the door and it opens giving them access to the building. C, D and E hold back not wanting to go inside but A and
B push forward anyway. Despite the bad feeling and want to just go home, the others follow just to make sure their friends remain safe as they enter the building it fades to black and cuts to them wondering around the main reception. They venture further and find themselves more intrigued with the place, looking around for any sign of what this buliding could've once been.They eventually come across an old office, they search through the filing cabinets which are still full of old patient files which confirms to the characters that this is in fact an abandoned mental asylum. In the same room are shelves full of old vases the content unknown. A and B start messing around and A accidently pushes B into the shelf knocking it over and the majority of the vases smash releasing all the ashes in which they all inhale along with the air. They decide to leave since they've caused enough damage but B and C start acting weird and while they all go to leave, B and C disappear. The others reach the entrance but realise B and C are not with them. So they go back. Background music helps build suspence. They search deeper into the asylum and find B staring blankly at a wall. When A turns around all the lights go out and she has disappeared by the time it comes back on, taking one of them with her. Later on, they find A hanging from a ceiling fan (close up). They all try to leave quickly and in panic accidently split up (music intensifies) but all the doors slam trapping them in a seperate patient rooms. (All noise stops together the only sound being the actors breathing). Black out and screams are heard.
