Opening Scene

EXT. Forest in broad daylight

Open on a close up shot of pale hands with 2 rings with no design spinning keys (1 house key, 1 car key) in fingers. Gentle wind is heard.

Cut to wide shot of a woman with light, flowing white clothing reading a book outside of a shed in the same forest.

Cut back to hands, no longer spinning keys, heavier breathing is heard.

Cut to wide shot of woman reading, slow zoom.

As the camera zooms in to her face the sound of keys jangling can be heard off screen. Foley becomes louder and distorted.

Quick cut to a low angle POV shot of character 2 with character 1 on top of the camera beating her with the keys while looking very happy as triumphant music plays. The man is wearing a black leather coat with a red shirt and looks relatively young.

Cut to shot of the shed with a plastic plant sitting in it as the title card is shown. Audio fades out and quiet foley replaces it.

 LOCATION : Long’s Wood (Shed in the forest – not pictured) 

 

Costumes list: 

Character 1 (M)) 
Black Leather Jacket – Ominous, connotations of danger, contrast to scenery 

Red shirt – Connotations of danger + violence, complimentary colour to green so complimentary to environment 

Broken Watch – Implies that something bad happened – injured possibly 

Rings – No design, smooth all the way around 

Hair: Natural hair, un-brushed and rough 

 

Character 2 (F)) 

White outfit – Connotations of purity and innocence, playing in to the conventions of the horror trope 

Light voluminous clothes – A sense of ethereality is created through lightweight flowing clothes 

Stained by mud – Works with environment, creates sense that something is wrong and has stained the sense of purity connected to the outfit. 

Props list 

Keys – 1 house key 1 car key, no keychains 

Ripped clothing 

Plain rings 

Plastic fake plant in a vase

Plot Synopsis:

Opens on character 1s hands spinning keys in his fingers and cuts between him and character 2 sitting outside a shed reading a book. Audio is quiet and not intrusive. Shot of character 2 with the sound of keys shaking can be heard, audio becomes louder with distorted foley becoming intrusive.  Cut to shot of character 1s face shown for the first time looking very happy while beating character 2 with the keys (character 1 not shown on camera) as triumphant music plays. Cut to shot of the shed with a plant pot in it with title card appearing.

Character Profiles:

Character 1: Strange figure who takes pleasure in violence. Isolated from society and relationships for pretty obvious reasons (he kills people) - he carries a fake plant with him to have a companion that can't die or leave him.

Character 2: Typical "killed at the beginning of the horror movie" horror movie trope, innocent woman with no fleshed out character.
