Our initial planning idea was completely different to the final out come OTS. our initial idea was to have a group of school girls stay over for a sleepover, they do tarot cards and Ouija boards; one of the girls go up to have a bath by herself when weird things start to happen lights go out, candles blow out, a message appears in the steam on the mirror. After a long time the other girls go up to check on her and realise she isn't herself then they realise she is possessed. She kills the other two kills by morning. We tried to film this several times but many things when wrong, it didn't look realistic, didn't flow properly, bad lighting etc.
After a few attempts of trying this initial idea we finally decided to change our idea keeping the same idea of sub genre which is supernatural we change it with the inspiration of Insidious. We watched their OTS multiple times and had the same idea mostly without humans just equipment and furniture but we made sure that ours was individual and different so it was not too similar to theirs.
Our new idea flowed a lot more and was easier to make, it also looked more realistic as drowning someone in a bath is hard to do realistically and without hurting them and seeing everyone round them trying to help. Also Emily (who we tried to drown) had to wear a bikini so this was hard to do without seeing the bikini.
This is trying to get Emily in position with her bikini on and lots of bubbles to cover everything so it looked more like it was real. This didn't work for many reasons one being it was hard to cover the bikini, two we couldn't blown all the candles out without getting our face in the shot and third we couldn't make her look like she was being drowned without someone getting in the shot or her being too long for the bath to go completely under water.

Trying to cover her in bubbles so she looks like she has nothing on.
Trying to fit Emilys whole body in the bath however it didn't work as her legs had to be bent and was easily seen in the shot.
