*Disclaimer: As is everything that I post in this blog, this is an assignment. If it wasn't assigned I wouldn't do this sort of thing. I don't like the idea of working for target audiences (until I'm actually working in the industry). I want to make things that I like and not direct them towards others (for now).

The Story ("Target audience ques" in bold)

Alex is a college student. He had always been very interested in film. One summer, Alex decided not to take any classes and to begin working on his first film. He had saved up all the money and done all the research. He hired some of his friends to help and they all got started. The title of his first movie would be "Marble Hornets."

One afternoon, Alex gathered some of his actors and crew and they went to a park that he and his good friend Jay had scouted. Everything seemed perfect so they began to shoot. About midway through the shoot, they noticed a tall, rather slender man in a black suit standing in the distance. They couldn’t make out his face and no one seemed to know him so they kept shooting. Alex became concerned that the man would spoil some of the shots by being in the frame so shouted from the group and asked him to leave. The man remained absolutely still.

The next night, Alex was at home alone. He turned all the lights off in his house just before going to bed but then he heard a sound. It was a strange sound, an animal maybe. Being the film buff that he was, he grabbed his camera and began to shoot. He went from window to window in his dark house and saw nothing. Just as he started to put the camera down, the noise sounded again but was louder. Alex became frightened. He kept filming and again paced his house, peeling down the blinds and looking out his windows. Finally, he looked out the window adjacent to his front porch, and there he was, the man from the park, staring blindly at Alex’s porch light.

Alex gave up on his project. Alex gave all of the film footage to his good friend and coworker Jay on one condition; that Jay never mention to Alex again. One day, Jay went looking through all of this footage and noticed all of these odd occurrences. Jay too became weary and seemingly on-edge. He began filming everything just like Alex. He even filmed himself while he slept. Jay checked the footage of his sleeping every other day. One day he was looking through the footage and noticed that he was out of bed for about 3 hours but had no knowledge of the event ever occurring. The next day, there was a tape left in his mail box. When he played the tape it was footage of Jay sitting in his hallway with his eyes rolled back in a trance. Suddenly, the “slender man” crept around the corner of the hallway, in front of Jay, and into the camera.
