Initial idea for Horror clip

Today we formed our groups for this media project and began to discuss ideas for the horror clip. This is our initial idea:

Slaughter School

Plot: A student is locked in school/college after they fall asleep in the common room and miss their home time. However, the pupil is quick to realise that he/she is not alone. A killer is in fact loose in the college and the isolated student must desperately fight to stay alive as there is no way out (every door has been locked). As the student attempts to stay breathing, a chase scene with the killer ensues around the college and the student uses various places in the college to hide. The next morning, fellow pupils find the unfortunate victim dead in a store closet via a trail of blood/clothes/etc.

Characters: a mysterious killer with a mask (it is unclear how he/she came to be in the college), an isolated student (around the age of 16-18) who must escape the killer but unfortunately fails and the fellow students who arrive the next morning to find a messy college and the dead body.

Location: our college. This will be a cheap and easily accessible location for us to film in, and also ties in well with the plotline of the film. The many bookshelves and different areas will make for good hiding places.

Possible sounds: a school bell during the opening titles (a horrible, sharp sounding bell to disorientate the audience), creaking doors, a clock and heartbeats.
