I have chosen to research into psychological horror and a thriller as I feel these types of films have the most impact on the audience. When tension rises, so do their pulses.
The dis-equilibrium is the event most played out which is what I will try to show. The 'Norm' will be disturbed, leading to the main conflict then to the main character restoring the peace. These types of films are mostly shown through clear binary opposite of Good and Evil. To which the good always prevails but with consequences e.g. someone dies.
SITTING CLOWN
Jennifer is just your average teen with hopes and dreams of becoming the next Anna Wintour. She's very smart, responsible, friendly and comes from a stable home. The she babysits for Hans-Wilson's (David and Lisa) a respectable family with very demanding jobs; Lawyer and Doctor with 3 children (Micah, Elsa and Breeze.) Jennifer notices odd things happening around the house for a few weeks; things moving when no one is looking, heavy footsteps upstairs, loud bangs from the basement but lets it boil down to the fact that she hasn't gotten much sleep lately. One night sitting watching TV she feels uneasy like someone is watching her, the clown statue in the corner she hadn't noticed before. She calls the Lisa and requests to move the statue into another room, to which Mrs Hans-Wilson is alarmed and tells her they don't have clown statue and to get the kids and leave the house immediately and await their return. Puzzled and panicked, Jennifer can only find Micah and Elsa. She tells them to leave the house and wait on the driveway for their parents. Jennifer starts to check all the rooms armed with a frying pan as 'protection.' As she comes to one of the bedrooms she notices it is locked and barricaded and she can hear Breeze's muffled screams from behind the door. The parents return in a frantic state to retrieve Breeze from the room. After calling the police they are informed that the 'clown' is in fact a recently escaped mental patient. Dr Hans-Wilson becomes aware that the 'clown' is Daniel Craig who was a patient of his, Daniel believes that he wasn't actually crazy and David had given him so much medication that it changed him as a person and now he is out for revenge.
Jennifer - final girl
Breeze - princess
Daniel - villain
Lisa - dispatcher
David - False hero

ISLAND DEMENTI
A presumed cursed island that has been abandoned for years is set up by united governments as a site for all 'unstable' humans, prisoners who have the sickest minds and mental patients with the blankest. Hannah Page is sane and far from a serial killer. She has been wrongly admitted to the island by director Clyde Decker - a narrow minded government hit-man. Hannah had been on his hit list for a while as she was spreading tapped government secrets on social networking sites. She wants revenge and to do that she needs to escape the island, which is far from easy. Weird stuff happens on the island including the fact that its filled with raging delinquents out to get her. She builds acquaintances with some of the islanders Rocco & Elijah in which she has to gain their trust and vice versa to get off Island Dementi.
Hannah - final girl
Decker - villain
her life back - princess
Rocco & Elijah - helpers
