Script
Scene
1 - The setting of this scene will be at the main character’s house where they
will find the box of tapes. The props will integrate the theme of using
jewellery or a box. The character’s costume will be every day wear as we want
it to be a natural scene. This will be set during midday.
Scene
2 – this scene will feature the main character looking at the tapes where they
discover that they are of people being murdered in different ways, on a
consecutive date of each year. The costume will remain the same, to reflect
that it’s on the same day and a continuation of scene 1.
Scene
3- Due to the fact it’s an annual event, the character realises that it’s close
to the upcoming killing. This is also features the main character planning on
preventing this from occurring once again. The costume may change to reflect
the shift in time of a week, so it’s closer to the killing day.
Scene
4-This scene will be set in the woods as it’s a desolate area and where the
upcoming killing is stated to be. It will also be set at night time to add
suspense. The main character will be trying to avoid the next event from
happening by "saving" the next victim from the fate that the
rest of the victims had. As this scene has more than one character, there will
be two actors performing. The stock character, the victim, will have an
everyday wear costume. We see the killer in an all-black costume and a mask. We
will see the victim before we see the attack. We see a reaction shot of the
victim followed blackout then transitioning to the next scene.
Scene
5- the main character, the false hero, has a reaction shot which follows on
from the stock character. As the character discovers that she is too late. She
then rings the police to inform them about the body she seems to have
discovered. This will add suspense to the scene and sensationalism. The set of
the scene remains as before while also costume is the same, whilst the main
character appears to be wearing a third costume changes to easily identify that
time has passed since we last saw her. But also prevents the audience from
being suspicious of her being the murder suspect.
Scene
6- our ‘hero’ once again appears from
her kitchen/utility room however, we can see that she is not what she was made
out to be as we see her carrying in a blood stained backpack and is unpacking
what appears to be the killers costume and murder weapon, in order to clean
them. The character is totally unfazed by this which appears shocking to the
audience. Which then presents the plot twist. The time setting is still set at
night but the lighting is once again to use a naturalistic atmosphere.
Scene
7 - there is of a news report in which the reporter confirms that the stock has
died. The main Character is in this scene, as she her focus on the news report.
The location remains the same but is now in set the main characters living
room. The time set remains the same and the lighting is once again
naturalistic. The main character calls her friend to discuss the recent event
that is being broadcast on the news, the main character sounds enthusiastic
about the killing in which the friend on the other line shows her disgust for
what her friend reaction was. This angers the main character. The main
character has another costume change and also the set has changed which is now
transitioned into the bedroom. We do not see physically see the friend who is
on the other line. This is because the friend of the characters is voice to
signify the use of technology.
Scene
8 - is a few seconds after the call she had with her friend. She takes a tape
and camcorder and we see the plot twist once again that the main character is
actually the villain. We see her making a new tape and put into the box with existing
tapes. After the plot twist plays out, the main character of the film reveals
that in the back of her wardrobe a board and sections for each of the victims
showing the victim, the victims name, location of death and the act that was
carried out. The audience then see a plan that is planned for next year’s
annual event but with no name written, this then is a focused shot of the main
characters hand writing her friends name on the board. Showing she too will
fall a victim to the annual event. Scene is set in the characters bedroom
followed by a fade out and end credits music playing.
