My Project
INT – Medium shot in a room full of computers, the camera is focused on Reggie who introduces himself.
Reggie
Hi, I’m Reggie Menzies. I’m a University student, ive been asked to make a movie as a project so I decided to do a real live documentary movie on a haunted area called Borley Rectory.
INT – Camera tracks Reggie as he walks over to Rob who is on a computer researching.
Reggie
What you found Rob?
Rob
Erm, I have found a newspaper article dating back to 1939 on January Friday 13th same as today strangely enough 8 people went missing at Borley Rectory and was never found.
INT – Medium shot of Rob introducing himself to the camera.
Rob
Hi I’m Robert Dunsden I’m a researcher and location manager for this project I found out about Borley Rectory and located it on the map. And look forward to filming what we find.
INT – Medium shot of George who is the camera man throughout the project he places camera down and introduces himself.
George
Hi, my names George Mizon, I’m on the same course as Reggie we are sharing this project with Reggie and I’m in control of camera.
INT – Medium Shot of Reggie on computer the camera pans around and Shaun walks into the room. He shakes everyones hand as it’s first time he has met them apart from Reggie who is a relative of his. Reggie tells him about the project and that Shaun is going to be the presenter for the documentary.
INT – Medium Shot of Shaun introducing himself.
Shaun
Hi, I’m Shaun Wilding I’m Reggie Menzies cousin and I’m going to be acting in his film as a presenter. I’m excited about this but whether this haunting is real I doubt it very much.
EXT – Camera tracks the group walking in the street talking about hauntings.
Shaun
So Reggie do you actually believe in hauntings?
Reggie
Well yeah I do, you always hear about sightings and images and this place is meant to be one of most haunted places in country so I think we will see something.
Shaun
Yeah but they’re always explanations for these things like noisy pipes or people messing around.
EXT – Camera cuts to the group in the car as they all talk about the Borley Rectory.
EXT – Medium shot of Shaun behind him is a wooded area, We can see the coldness on Shaun’s breath.
Shaun
I’m standing here outside Rectory woods, beyond these tree’s somewhere is Borley Rectory, we’re gonna head into the woods now and see what we can find.
Ext – Tracking shot of the group walking into the first part of the woods.
Shaun
So how far do you think Borley Rectory is Rob?
Rob
Erm, it shouldn’t be too far mate, about half a mile maybe less.
EXT – Medium Shot of Shaun behind him a pond and tree in the middle of the pond
Shaun
It was thought in the 1300’s witches were around in this area, it was known that this tree was used to burn the thought to be witches.
EXT – Tracking shot of the group venturing further into the woods.
Reggie
I think before we go any further we should quickly get our gear. George do you wanna stay here get some footage.

EXT – Medium Shot of Shaun of with a fielded area behind him, which is where Borley Rectory once was.

I’m standing here in Rectory Woods, behind me is where Borley Rectory once was. It was burned down in 1939 for unexplained reasons and demolished in 1944, This is where the 8 people went missing the year it was burned down and this is where we will be spending the night.
EXT – Camera switches on and aims at George and Rob asleep in there tent, the camera then gets moved as we hear footsteps of the person carrying it outside.
EXT – the camera left on and now on the floor outside the tents see’s George wonder over and find it. As he picks the camera up the creature appears behind him and snaps his neck. The camera hits the floor facing upwards as the creature walks off.
EXT – Rob soon finds the camera picks it up and heads over to Shaun and Reggie.
Rob
Guys have you seen George, I cant find him and he left the camera over there.
Reggie
No we haven’t seen him, we thought he might be with you?
Shaun
Would he have gone home?
rob
No that’s not like him. And he wouldn’t of left the camera like that.
shaun
Well we are gonna have to look for him, put the camera back and we will look for him.
EXT – After the group have been looking for him they return to Borley Rectory and Rob has the camera again
rob

EXT – the camera zooms in on a character standing the opposite side of the field, Shaun begins chasing after him.
shaun

EXT – the camera looks up and suddenly the creature is in front of them, the camera turns and Rob runs across in opposite direction to the Shaun and Reggie. Reggie now holding camera turns back to see if the creature is there. The monster screams and runs straight into Reggie who then carries on running.
EXT – Long shot from in long grass area. Reggie and Shaun hiding when the creature appears in shot hearing something then runs opposite direction.
EXT – long shot of Shaun walking in a wooded area in front of Reggie who has the camera
Shaun
Right we need to find Rob and get the hell out of here. Best bet is to head the way out that’s probably the way rob went, I’m sure if we keep going this way will take us out of here
EXT – as the camera pans around the pair find themselves back at Borley Rectory
Shaun
We have been walking opposite direction how can we possibly be back here! Right lets go this way.
EXT – Again Shaun ahead of the camera leads the way through wooded area only to find again they appear back at Borley Rectory.

EXT – the camera pans around in front of Reggie who is no where the group found the sticks which are now planted all around Reggie, the camera pans to the right where the creature jumps out. The camera blacks out and heavy breathing is heard, camera then falls and lands on zoom. It zooms in on Reggie’s face his eyes are closed, presumed dead, until he finally opens his eyes and the camera fades out.
