1. TWO MINUTE FILM OPENING PLAN
VISUALS
Plan: Black screen, voiceover begins. After first sentence the screen shows a girl’s eyes
opening slowly and shutting again. Her face is bruised and he has a cut under her eye. Next
cut shows her blurred view of people over her. Throughout this, helicopters, sirens and
panicked voices can be heard. She squints into bright light and then slightly shuts her eyes,
looking confused as to where he is and why he’s in pain. The scene changes to a flashbacks of
her running down stairs with a torch and then another scene of him from over his shoulder
running away, supposedly is being chased, and then she falls to the ground. Overhead shots
show her running though a forest. The flashbacks turn to one of her with a boy looking over a
lake, positively portrayed, smiling and being happy together. This progresses to them being
torn apart in a different setting. Every shot comes together to a fast paced montage until: Cut
back to his eyes opening widely in realisation/shock, voice and blackout. Voiceover finishes,
boy speaks.
SOUND
Voiceover Idea: (gaps in-between sentences) I don’t remember exactly when it started.
(CUT TO EYES OPENING) I just knew that once they had begun, they wouldn’t stop until
they’d got what they wanted. When the day came, they had caught me already, but not before
I’d done what I’d been told. What happened after was not a prediction of any state or
authority. It was only a prediction of mine. Nobody listens to negative truth. I needed to
warn them, and believe that I tried. I was just too late. I know what happens now.
She says at the end of clip: It’s began. Blackout.
Sounds effects: helicopters, sirens, voices e.g. ‘what’s happening’ ‘we don’t have time, just
leave him’
