Ideas for Coursework- Horror it is.

After alot of thinking i decided producing an opening sequence for a horror film would be better, as i feel it can easily be portrayed within the opening sequence due to the typical horror conventions you can use. My idea is based around a young teenage girl who is alone in her house one evening, well she soon realises she is alone anyway!
She is first shown content and happy as she is on her laptop talking to her friends, she then decides to get ready for bed as it is late, she enters her bathroom and soon hears a wierd noise which sounds like a cry, she looks around but doesn't think much of it, she enters the bathroom again and starts to take off her makeup. The phone rings and once she answers the phone she hears her mum shouting her name as if she is in danger and needs help, Sophie (the girl in the house) beings to worry and goes into her brothers room (Luke) she calls his name and starts speaking to him but there is no reply, she says his name over and over again and then walks into his bathroom, the words "Luke is not here!" is written on the mirror.
At this point, Sophie is extrememly scared and runs downstairs and out of the house, she looks around not knowing what to do. I haven't completely decided on a definate ending but either she will be outside and the door will close behide her, or she will see her mums car and approach it and no-one will be in it, with blood maybe dripping down from the car.
Previous horror films which i have watched in the past influenced me on this idea, although i haven't really got an idea similar to a horror film which i have seen, small ideas such as the phone ringing and typical horror conventions such as a young teenage girl being alone in a house, made me think of my idea. Due to the conventions i have used, this is the reason why i feel it fits into the horror genre.
This idea is not definite, i may alter a few things to make sure it isn't like a tralier in any way and portrays exactly what i want it to. The unexpected is the name which i have come up with, i decided with this name as it portrays the unexpected can happen, as this will be shown in my opening sequence, due to the fact Sophie unexpectingly found out she was alone and her mum is in danger.
The main character who will be in my opening sequence will be my friend Brogan, as she is a young teenage girl who is seen as naive and innocent.
