Opening Scene Narration - Miss Miller

Our sequence begins with a establishing long shot of an abandoned house so it is introduced as the home of the antagonist. The house we are going to film is located beside a forest in Buckhurst Hill. In the long shot we will zoom out from the house and pan across to show the forest. The second shot shows the entrance to an abandoned house, also in Buckhurst hill. We filmed a small gate and the trees just outside the house before creating a point of view shot as I walked through the entrance holding the camera. These two shots  have natural low-key lighting so the sequence appears dramatic and eerie yet does not look too unnatural or artificial. A straight cut will link these two frames together subtly so it looks as though the two shots are both a part of the same house. Sound will be simple during these shots as it is at the start of the sequence and therefore building up to any dramatic events that will later occur. There will be an eerie whistling sound like the wind featured in both shots as well as possibly using quiet music that slowly builds up.
After that there are several panning shots of the interior of the house, showing the setting and several iconography items. Such as old photographs from the antagonist's childhood  and broken items.  These frames will be filmed in another house that belongs to our friend because they have wallpaper that has an eerie effect and we believed it would work well in our sequence. The lighting will be low-key again as these shots will be slightly more dramatic and harsh lighting will emphasize and focus on the iconography. When the childhood photographs are shown, we plan to edit in non-diegetic sounds of a child shouting for his mother and maybe chilling childlike music. The sequence will suddenly focus on certain iconography so jump cuts will be used over these frames.
A long shot inside the house then shows the back of the antagonist as he is looking at pictures on the wall. There are five polaroid photographs on the wall, each of a different victim of the killers.The camera will zoom in and focus on the images. All except one image will be crossed out in red marker and the antagonist will circle it. The four that are crossed out in red marker represent those he has already killed while the last image is of our sequences victim and she has not yet been killed by the antagonist which is why she is not crossed out.  Throughout these frames, mumbles and cries of female voices will be played on loop  to represent the antagonists previous victims and how killing them has affected him, making him more mentally unstable. When the antagonist circles the one image that is not crossed out this is where we will edit in the on-screen sound of a screech or scratch of the pen similar to hearing nails on a chalkboard. The lighting will be dark and low-key as the theme of these frames are very mysterious.
Further zooming in will focus on the circled image. It will be played to a non-diegetic sound like a 'whoosh' to highlight the movement and focus on the girl in the photograph. Using a jump cut, the shot of the polaroid will switch to a shot of the actual girl as she lays unconscious in another room of the house with masking tape over her mouth and around her wrists. She will move around and struggle until she is free from the tape. We will edit in the non-diegetic sound of creaking floorboards as the victim walks slowly through the house. She will escape and the slamming of a door will alert the antagonist. After this we will film both the victim and killer running though the forest in a chase scene. The lighting will be dark and low-key and several sound effects will be used. We will use sound tracks and sound effects such as footsteps and heartbeats.
