'Charlotte', our film, follows a group of teenagers who enjoy ghost-hunting to an extent. On the anniversary of Princess Charlotte's death, they decide to visit her death place, a school abandoned in the midst of a pandemic. Emily, the avid paranormal expert, pushes Gibby and Jack to the limits when communicating with what they believe to be Princess Charlotte's ghost. However, when Emily becomes separated from the amateurish boys, she finds that the once friendly spirit may not be who she first thought after all. It becomes a challenge for the boys, a race against time, in order to save Emily from the demon and get out of Claremont before they are lost forever.
This treatment acts as a baseline of our film that explains the narrative simply. It is concise but allows directors to see the vision of the film.
We watched Frank Ash, a BBC Creative Consultant, and learned of the topline and big questions.
I decided the big question for our film was 'Will they make it out alive?' which stemmed from questions such as 'Will they find Emily in time?' and 'Will they discover the demon's true nature?'.
This will make an excellent trailer. It follows ghost story / horror story / supernatural story genre conventions, but has the USP of a specific, credible and authentic historical figure.
