The story:
Group Members:

Kenneth Ng
Lim Chieh Loong
Film Title: Final journey
Plot:
Scene 1:
Starts off with a picture of the 4 friends.
The camera is seen advancing towards a dark room, revealing 4 boys in it.
The story basically starts off with a group of 4 boys, huddled round an accursed spirit board, more commonly known as the Ouijia Board. However, there is no direct mention of the name of the board, therefore, allowing the viewers to actually make their own deduction as to the nature of the board. Intertextual reference of this scene can be drawn from the Korean horror film,” Bunshinsaba (2004)”.
A high angle shot will be used to introduce the film, and it will slowly zoom in onto the boys. There is little/minimal conversation as the boys place their hands on a pencil, scrawling weird symbols to call upon the “old one”.
Within seconds, the scene dissolves, and the boys are shown leaving the room, apparently shaken. Junyang and Chieh Loong are shown leaving the room first. Brian and Kenneth then proceeds outside.
Scene 2:
As Brian approaches the main door, he takes out his ipod, plugged it into his ears, and blasted his favourite metal song. This for him, was a form of escapism. He constantly assured himself that everything will be alright, and what had just happened will merely remain a nightmare. He turned around and looked at his friend, Kenneth. With the presence of his friend, he felt much better. However, Brian could not help but realized Kenneth looked rather blank. “Must be the aftershock.” He told himself. As they walked past a pond in the garden, brian turned around to bade his friend farewell, and walked out through the main gate, and never did he once turned around and looked back. If only he had turned around, he would have seen Kenneth slipping into the pond. If only he had turned around, Kenneth might have lived. But he just went out.
Camera focuses on Kenneth from a distant, taken over brian’s shoulders. He could be seen struggling and screaming, but his screams of agonies were drowned by “Insert name of song”. Within seconds, he stopped, and sunk into the deep, murky waters of the pond, body and all, leaving nothing behind. Nothing at all… Or was that kenneth’s cap at the far end of the pond?...hidden amongst the bushes.
Scene fades out.
Picture of 3 friends are shown.( 1 had faded)
Scene 3:
AS the 3 gathered once again, they discussed kenneth’s mysterious disappearance. Feeling very vexed, tensions aroused amongst the boys, and they blamed brian for his negligence. They weren’t so sure what happened to Kenneth, but they sure knew something was amiss. Investigations was carried out near where brian testified that he last saw Kenneth, but neither one could find any trace of evidence. Soon, all left but junyang. He spied something misplaced at the far end of the pond, and advanced towards it. Carefully he reached out, he picked up Kenneth’s hat. Euphoric, he rushed out of the main gate, wanting to tell the others of his findings. Sadly, he never did manage to. As soon as he ran out, an oncoming car came crashing into him. Words had barely left his mouth when he was instantly killed/.
Picture of 2 friends are now shown.( another had faded)
Scene 4:
News of junyang’s death had spread to the remaining 2 boys. Shaken by the sudden turn of events, they attempted to try to close to spirit board. Once agn, both huddled round the board, trying to reverse the process. What they did not expect was that the spirits were not appeased, and a white apparition appeared. Opening his eyes, chieh loong took a look at it, and immediately, his face went blank. He walked over to ledge, gave a spastic grin, and fell backwards. Gone. Just like that.
Terrified, Brian ran over to the ledge, only to see his friend lying on the ground, arms and legs spread out, a gruesome sight to behold. Covering his face with trembling hands, Brian just sat there, dazed. HE knew his turn was next, and there was no way of escaping death. The grim reaper will catch up with him next. It was too late for regrets now, the gates of hell had been opened, and it will never close until it has hunted them down. The ones who opened it. In a way, the boys had disrupted peace amongst the spiritual world, and in return, they shall wreck theirs by taking the very breath of life away form them.
The picture shows a single picture of brian.
Scene 5:
“A few days later”
*The audience is not shown the last death, but instead, the house where it all started off was shown, a shot of it taken from the outside. As the camera zooms in, it shows emptiness all around. The camera then moves up the stairs, into the dark room where it all began. A photo was hanging on the wall. An empty photograph of just the background. No boys, no nothing. Just emptiness.
As the film starts to end and credit starts to roll, a new scene of another 2 ppl huddling round the board is shown.
The Lost Boys resigned to their fates
