Our team finally decided to make a short horror film. The idea is basically like the grudge and the ring, which presents the ‘karma’, so our story will present karma as well.
The story
A boy called Jack was punished by a female ghost (who had died at the house) after he stole his roommate Micheal’s money.
Inspirations and Practice

We are trying to get some inspirations from those horror movie clip on Youtube, and then we grab some good and feasible ideas to shoot — like the door immediately shut, the female ghost climbs weirdly or using the wig or some props to create the creepy feeling etc….
Moreover from those clips I realised the sound effect and background music is very important for a horror movie, it‘s truely helping to form the film’s pace and atmosphere, so I bought some sound, loop and foleys for the sound design.
Also I tried to play with LogicX to create the sound track as the background music. They are seperate from each other and present different emotions, it’s just a practice so don’t mind if it’s so bad.
Location
we decided to shoot at Jack’s house. The house is the ordinary house which usually appears in the western horror movie, and there are 2 floors which really helps us to come up our bold ideas for the creepy and scary scenes.
