[QUOTE="MisterDeadeye, post: 7941083, member: 611015"] - Do a play on a school shooting, only instead of the shooter using a gun, it's a video camera. Have scripted interviews with "survivors", chronicling your pass through of the school. Fake screams, maybe you can use the sound of a camera shutter as fake gunshots. If you have a younger brother, you should also try to film "your" start with a camera obsession, "shooting" the neighbor's dog or something. You'd probably want to use a disclaimer that you don't take school shootings lightly or something, I guess. - Do a play on a haunting, only at the end, you find out that the house wasn't haunted by a ghost.
