Natasha Powell. I agree to the terms of this form.

GROUP RELEASE FORM

As a member of this group, I agree to the following:

1. That I will keep the processes, strategies, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class confidential, and that I will NOT share any of this program either privately, with a group, posting online, writing articles, through video or computer programming, or in any other way that would make those processes, teleconferences, communications, lessons, and models of the class available to anyone who is not a member of this class.

2. That each writer’s work here is copyrighted and that writer is the sole owner of that work. That includes this program which is copyrighted by Hal Croasmun. I acknowledge that submission of an idea to this group constitutes a claim of and the recognition of ownership of that idea.

I will keep the other writer’s ideas and writing confidential and will not share this information with anyone without the express written permission of the writer/owner. I will not market or even discuss this information with anyone outside this group.

3. I also understand that many stories and ideas are similar and/or have common themes and from time to time, two or more people can independently and simultaneously generate the same concept or movie idea.

4. If I have an idea that is the same as or very similar to another group member’s idea, I’ll immediately contact Hal and present proof that I had this idea prior to the beginning of the class. If Hal deems them to be the same idea or close enough to cause harm to either party, he’ll request both parties to present another concept for the class.

5. If you don’t present proof to Hal that you have the same idea as another person, you agree that all ideas presented to this group are the sole ownership of the person who presented them and you will not write or market another group member’s ideas.

6. Finally, I agree not to bring suit against anyone in this group for any reason, unless they use a substantial portion of my copyrighted work in a manner that is public and/or that prevents me from marketing my script by shopping it to production companies, agents, managers, actors, networks, studios or any other entertainment industry organizations or people.

Hi All,

My name is Natasha Powell. I’ve written about 7 scripts – sci-fi horror. 3.5 TV shows and 5.5 Features. I hope to improve my skills in such a way that I can place high in writing contests. Unique, I also do standup – I guess that’s unique.

Natasha’s Terrifying Monster.

1. The monster in this movie is a creature that exists in the past and the present; feeds off the fears in people’s timelines until it erases them completely. Mask from the shadows; searing blue eyes and snarling teeth, it can only prey on those completely alone.

2. <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>Overview

• Their
  Terror: It can erase you from ever existing.

• Their
  Mystery: They appear in your past and present and it is unknown how they
  feed on your timeline.
• Their
  Fear-Provoking Appearance: They set up fears in your past so they can feed
  on this fear throughout your timeline
• Their
  Rules: It must create the biggest fear and start it as early as possible.
  Once it attaches itself to the victim, it cannot unlatch. It feeds on those
  who are alone. It must isolate its victim otherwise it cannot feed if
  people are around – it has to be a big fear and once it builds up, it can feed.
• Their
  Mythology: The monster existed before man and came back with the astronauts that
  left the moon during the Apollo mission.

3. What I learned about this is that the monster has to have as much of a setup as the world itself.

The Witch Horror Conventions

What I learned about this assignment is that there is more to horror than inventing a monster; it must also have a moral compass or lesson that is sewn into the fabric of the movie.

Concept: Evil can only take over if we let it in

Terrorize The Characters: All the characters are forced to face their worst fears or terrorized with painful memories.

Isolation: They were forced to live on their own with no community in the woods during colonial America.

Death: Baby, younger brother, twins, mother, father

Monster/Villian: The Devil and our own fears

Departure from Reality: Witches, the devil, supernatural events (ghosts, hallucinations)

Moral
Statement: Our dark desires can sometimes consume us

My Project

Erased Conventions

Concept: We must overcome our fears or our past can consume us.

Terrorize The Characters: The characters are forced to face their fears and the creature creates new fears in their past to feed on their timeline.

Isolation: The creature waits until they are alone before it triggers their fears; a dark warehouse; an isolated cabin.

Death: Jullian, Olivia, Shantelle, Mark, Main Character Spirit

Monster/Villian: A creature that exists during all timelines

Departure from Reality: The creature can exist in the past and present at the same time. He creates hallucinations that are not real but are real to his victims.

Moral
Statement: We must not live in the past or it will consume us. Mistakes are what make us who we are.
