The
Script
The forest
The film opens with
an establishing shot of the forest. It is a late evening, nearly dark. The
forest seems calm. Then suddenly we cut to a close up shot of someone’s feet,
running over the thick forest floor. Next we cut to a medium-long pan of the
side of the same character, before it cuts back to a close up shot of their
feet breaking a stick on the forest floor (potentially a match-on-action).
Then we cut to a
flashback of 3 teenagers in a classroom. It is a medium shot, and there is
little if any dialogue.
Faint dialogue for
classroom scene
Boy 1: Camping
on Saturday then?
Boy 2: Yeaahh!
Girl: I dunno,
it’ll be dark.
Boy 1: Well Duh!
Then the sequence
cuts back to the forest as the boy continues to attempt to flee whatever is
chasing him. This shot will be a high angle shot taken from a tree to give a
different perspective. It will also be a medium shot.
The second
flashback will then take place. It will be a long- extreme long shot of the 3
characters walking towards the camera in the forest. They are carrying camping
equipment.
The sequence once
again cuts back to the forest area. The same male character will run towards
and past the camera, with a medium then short tracking shot.
The final flashback
will then take place. This time to the 3 characters setting up camp. The
difference this time is it will be a point of view shot through the bushes from
the perspective of another character. This will be the villain.
The third from last
shot will be a medium shot of a different character, another boy. The look of
fear on his face will be obvious as he looks for whatever is chasing him.
Next, a match on
action of his foot catching a tree branch, before he helplessly falls to the
floor.
The final shot,
will be a view from behind the legs of another character. The camera will zoom
out as we see the increasingly worried face of the second male character.
