Plot
A guy who is afraid of the dark.
He keeps the lamp on with him.
Starts off in a dream.
He is in his house with a killer somewhere.
Every nightmare he has he finds out what is going to happen, similar to a flashback with each flashback connecting to every nightmare that occurs.
Phones do not work and the television flickers on and off.
One person gets killed one by one in every nightmare the male encounters.
In the end there is a twist. The male victim is the actual killer himself.
He does not know he is being possessed.
The reason for him being possessed is to combat his fear of the dark. The male thinks his phobia is curing when really it has been cured by killing people.
The people he kills in his nightmares are victims themselves. These victims were targets of his uncle who was in fact a murderer.

In the end, our group decided to choose idea one as the main concept to use to produce the final continuity piece. I felt that the history connected with the male character's uncle spurred our intentions to developing into a storyline, which stretched on for the duration of the film opening. This concept is central to what we hope would happen in the production. However the ideas we wrote that surrounded the core idea might change in the final media product. For example one of our two locations is going to take place in an underground area beneath a spaghetti junction. If the area closed due to construction work being done to improve the area, we have to decide on the alternative setting we can use to back up our primary choice in case of any delays to filming our camera shots in our chosen locations. I feel that the ideas that were developed around our main idea may change in our final product, but the central idea that triggered the added details which surround the main concept would still be present.
The other ideas had plots which had limited potential with the bland storyline to expand and improve the character's development. For the first idea the link with the male character's uncle having a history of murder and violence allowed me to explore how this link can affect the male's mental state of mind. By developing the relationship between the male and his uncle, we extend the longevity of our storyline, therefore adding depth to create more precursors for the audience to start asking questions about it.
Mark is a vulnerable young man of eighteen years of age who tends to think he is capable of being independent without the support of his parents. However he face no option but to fend for himself; work on daily shifts to earn the most basic form of income to help feed himself and to prevent the house from deteriorating.
He has had a history of committing acts of violence. At the age of twelve he was involved in an attempted demolishing of a newsagents store along with his older brother, Frank, and his group of friends. He served twenty-eight days in a juvenile institution with 200 hours of community service mounted on top.
Three years later, his twenty-two year old brother left England in search of a better life in Yorkshire where his uncle (on his father's side) owned a farming industry. At fifteen, Mark played a part in a riot that took place in South East London during protests. The considerable amount of damage inflicted was believed to be worth around £400 million pounds. Since he previously committed an offence, his imprisonment in a juvenile was meant to last for two years but charges were dropped against him due to the lack of evidence given of his involvement at the time. Mark's parents divorced afterwards and abandoned him at his home.
His uncle, Jeremy, was arrested for manslaughter of his Britsh associates and he committed suicide whilst serving a lifetime prison sentence. Jeremy possesses Mark to murder the remaining associates on his 'list' as revenge for betraying his loyalty in the attempt to invest money away from his farming business.
Mark's history of violence has shaped him the way he is now both psychologically and physically.
He looks for a new start to avoid the person he once was, but the spirit of his uncle continued to control his mind and make Mark commit the illegal acts that brought him to justice before. Mark battles but ultimately struggles to become himself.
