2 Minute Opening Plan

Plan

Firstly, there is a scene of the girl walking home from the party, still annoyed and distracted from the argument. A screech is heard and the audience sees her reaction before the screen goes black.

The action flashes back to the start of the argument. The tension gradually builds up between the group of girls until someone reaches the end of their tether and screams at her as she walks out of the party.

The sound of their argument is asynchronous as the girls scream in the last scene is replaced by the screech and crash of the car as it transitions into the next scene. All sound stops and the screen goes to black.

A siren can be heard as all the friends crowd around her body on the floor in a point of view shot, shouting her name. The shot cuts out and back in as if she is blinking until it totally cuts out as if she is unconscious, but the shouting of her name continuos .

The girl wakes up strapped to a chair in a dark room. She tries to pull against the restraints as she can still hear people shouting her name. The volume increases as footsteps begin to be heard. The girls thinks it is her friends coming to find her but instead a creepy looking man comes in the door holding a needle to torture her with.

As he goes to inject the shot cuts to her in the hospital, as it matches on action of the needle as a nurse just pulls away from taking some blood. As the shot pans out, all her friends are crowded around their friend who is still unconscious.

The doctor walks through the door and he is the same man as in her dream and asks her friends to leave whilst he does some checks. He draws the blind so they cannot see in and the darkness matches on action to the next scene.

The girl begins to scream due to what he injected into her and the mans facial expression is shown as the action matches back to the hospital where her body begins to shake and machines beep causing all her friends to panic.

Research - Inception

Inception
Although Inception is not a horror movie, it is helpful to my research as, in order to show that characters are in a dream rather than real life, the setting and camera angles are distorted.


In this example, a canted angle is used.


In this example, a long shot is used to show the distorting of the setting.

Final Storyline
