Mine – A Short Film

{the entire film will be edited to have eerie music the entire time}

Opens with a panning shot of the tunnel, covered in graffiti. It then cuts to a still mid shot of the same tunnel from a slight side view.

Scene 1         Our first character walks casually out of the tunnel, no information is given about them apart from they appear to be just a regular person.

A second character exits the tunnel after him looking a bit sketchy. At this point it isn’t obvious that they are stalking the person, it should seem as if they are just walking the same way.

It then clips to a mid shot further down the path where we see a front perspective of our characters walking.

A non-diegetic voice should then be introduced. This voice should be echoey and represent the evil inside our stalker.

Evil voice  Follow him.

Scene 2       Clip to an over the shoulder shot, over the shoulder of the stalker, the focus should be set on the back of the stalkers head so everything else, including our first character is blurred.

A side mid shot then shows our first character walk into frame. They here something behind them and turn. As they turn it switches to a close up of their face to show the confusion.

We are then exposed to why they are confused when it clips to a long shot of the path behind being empty.

Scene 3      We then see another over the shoulder POV shot from the perspective of the stalker. It should show them peering from a bush. The shot should be tilted so that both characters are in shot. It should indicate to the audience that our second character jumped into the bush. Its at this point the audience becomes aware of the nature of this character.

Evil voice  (laughs in a creepy tone)

Scene 4       Through various different shots(midshot, low angle etc) we continue to follow the two characters walking through the park location.

A POV shot from the stalker's perspective is used as he walks closer to the victim from behind.

Evil voice  He will love us.

Scene 5        Next in a low angle mid shot we see our characters walk round the corner into a dark alley way to intensify the mood.

Another over the shoulder POV shot is used, over our stalkers shoulder as we witness the victim turn around and the stalker, in a sort of comedic way, dive behind a pillar to hide.

Scene 6       A mid shot shows the victim walk up to who we suppose is a friend because they start smiling and looking like they get along. The girl is wearing casual clothes including a red sweater that signifies this character has a particular fate.

It then cuts to a semi close up of the girl shoving the victim on the floor, then it tracks as they get up, brush themselves off and then walk away.

While this happens, the voice speaks again:

Evil voice (progressively getting angrier)  Don’t touch him! Don’t touch him! Don’t touch him!

There is then a low angle floor shot showing the bully walking away. The stalker then steps into the shot showing only his foot, creating a sinister tone in preparation for the next shots.

Yet again there is another over the shoulder POV of the stalker as he quickly approaches the bully in an angry way. As he walks the voice from inside says:

Evil voice  Kill her. Come in it’ll be easy!

In the same shot the bully realises the approach and turns around, only to be punched in the face by the stalker.

It then cuts to a close up of the bully as she comes to her senses and notices that her nose is bleeding. Shocked by this she stumbles backwards.

It cuts to a POV shot from the bullies perspective. Again she is punched but this time it causes her to fall to the ground.

Then there is a low down midshot showing the bully, now on the ground being kicked in the head. As the foot connects it cuts to black to make it seem like she's blacked out.

There is then a shot which focuses on the stalkers hand which will be covered in blood. It should be edited to emphasize the blood. It once again cuts to black and the title fades into the center of the screen.

The audience should think that this is the end. However a tracking shot then follows the hand move up to reveal the stalkers face in a close up. He is covered in blood and the film ends with a sinister and disturbing glare into the camera.

Evil voice  You will be mine.
