The screen in black... There is nothing for a few seconds. Then the sound of rain can be heard, but the screen is still black. The sound of rain is still continuing, but the black screen fades into a window where you see the rain pouring outside. This use of pathetic fallacy is to create a bad mood, and a feeling that something is going wrong.
Now a high angled shot over a bed, where a girl is sleeping. The phone rings. A shot now goes to the phone on a bedside table. A hand picks it up, and turns the alarm off. The screen goes black, This could alow for title to come up.
The next shot is of a hand turning on a shower, this then switches to a shot of the hair being drenched. The screen goes black.
Fade in to a mirror, a face pops up and stars to brush her teeth. A shot now goes to a girl drying her hair.
This then goes to a close up shot of a coat being put on the girl. The camera switches to a shot that focuses on a picture of a boy with the girl, the camera holds on this picture.
Wide shot of the girl walking in the rain, the saturation is low to give a cool feeling to the shot (and the following shots) Now a shot behind the girl, we see a hand raise up to grab her shoulder (being a stereotypical shot to suggest violence) then this body quickly moves into the frame, and we see a shot a the boy (that we saw in the picture) giving the girl a hug. Here, I am misleading the viewer into thinking that the girl is under threat. They then are walking and the path moves into a forest ( because it is eerie, no one else is around, and the charecters will be confined.)
A few lines of dialogue are discussed while the characters are moving forward, and the camera is moving backward with them moving, this time hand held. It is hand held because I want to convey a feeling of uncertainty, and I want it to build up the tension. At this point they exchange an object, and the camera focuses on this exchange on the hands. The girl puts it into her pocket.
The camera pans up on to the girl's face and as shes talking she looks to her side. Now A POV shot and we see they girl look round hastily. Now an arc shot round the girl, but this is interupted by a series of hasty shots where she is screaming.
The camera is now behind her looking down; she slowly turns around and screams. She then then wakes up in bed as if she has had a bad dream. The shots are exactly the same as her waking up before Except it is sunny outside, and the shots are now highly saturated. The camera focuses on the picture again, but this time it is just the girl, no boy. we see the wide shot of the girl again, then a shot that creeps up behind her, she turns to look back. Now a shot from across the road, she slowly turns back to walk foreward. We have a repeated shot of the path leading in to the wood. When shes in the wood she feels into her pocket, and then pulls out the object givern to her by the boy. Now a shot of her feet, we see the wind blow leaves by her feet. The camera is now behind her and looking down on her, she turns and looks, then she screams. The screen goes black and then the main tytle comes up.
