I was thinking about things that we should bare in mind when we are thinking about which storyline to take because there is not point in having a storyline if we are unable to to do it because we do not have access to the locations needed, resources we need and the people we have access too as actors.
I think that we need to bare in mind:
- the locations we have access to
- resources we have access to and
- the ages and genders of the people who would be willing to take part.
While considering these i came up with another idea that would fit with the people who are likely to take part and the locations that are available to us.
Idea
A group of friends are out camping in a field. The scene could start with an clip of the friends around the fire having a beer and smoking. It cuts to one of the female members staggering off across the field to find somewhere to go to the toilet. She is drunk and doesn't really know where she is going. It cuts to a different angle of her realising she is lost and she begins to try and find her way back towards the tent. However as she begins to do so, she finds herself venturing into a wooded area. A POV shot could be used here.
Cuts to a medium shot so that the woods can be seen. You can see on her face that she is beginning to feel some kind of presence. A long shot can be used to show her looking all around, not sure if it is in front or behind her. The camera can jump cut to a close up of her facial expression, then to a tree or bushes rustling in the wind and branches swiping past her body.
She begins to run. A long shot can be used for this. She is panicky and she is breathing heavily. Through the trees she can see a light and begins to run towards it. She reaches a light which is on in an old abandoned caravan. She runs up to the door banging on it in hysterics. Under the pressure of her leaning on it the door flies open and she stumbles in banging the door shut behind her. A POV shot can be used as she slumps against the door and looks about. Her heart is thudding and she is gasping for breath. When she looks towards the living room of the caravan and takes in the scene around her. - there is furniture overturned, stuff strewn everywhere, blood all splattered up the walls and then her eyes fix on the body of a young man/woman who is dead on the floor.
A close up of her face could be shown when she lets out a scream - it then cuts to her friends around the fire hearing this and then back to her holding her head in her hands, sobbing. It cuts to a mental image she has of a hooded figure with an knife, stabbing the woman in the room.
It then cuts to the girl waking from a nightmare later that night in the tent once the drama is over and she is back with her friends. - This could be a good ending for the opening or we could somehow include the next bit - the next bit is also kind of the rest of the story.
Once woken from this nightmare, in her head she keeps seeing the same scene over and over again, but each time she sees a bit more of the attacker and feels his presence.
THIS IS THE TWIST IN THE STORY!!! - if she is aware of him, then he is aware of her and he senses her and he is beginning to look for her.
