2. Scene 1
• In Scene 1 Diana walks into the street from the front entrance with her
clique. A wide shot is added as this action is taken place so that the
audience can clearly visualise her friends and the setting of the scene.
• The editing technique will be a slow motion effect to show how cool Diana
and her friends are.
• The focus pull will be on Diana however, the lighting will be high to make
Diana and her group of friends appear like stars.
• The camera will be placed on eye level to show everything from a normal
perspective.

3. Scene 2
• As we go towards scene 2, their will
be an ellipsis of Diana’s movement
towards the locker so that the action
can appear quicker to the audience.
Scene 2 is a over the shoulder shot of
Diana receiving a text as she gets
something out of her locker. The text
reads: ‘Karma has no deadlines’. The
lighting will be 3.0 as mutual action is
occurring. We will ask permission
from a student into whether we can
use their locker.

4. Scene 3
• After the text Diana receives, Diana turns behind and sees a
ghostly figure sitting on the tables in the street. As Diana turns
behind their will be a close up of Diana’s face to vividly show
her movement however, when the camera faces the ghostly
figure a wide shot and a hand held effect will be added to add
suspense to the situation as the classification of the extract is
horror. The ghostly figure will have jet black hair which covers
¼ of her face.

5. Scene 4
• Diana blinks and the figure disappears.
Extreme close up will be added towards
Diana’s eyes as her eyes are the most
important feature in this scene. The hand held
effect will be removed straight after the
ghostly figure is shown from a distance. The
transition will fade from a white screen to the
next scene.

6. Scene 5
• Diana is in her room (Geneva’s room to be precise); Diana is
already changed in her pyjamas and she is about to head to
bed. The only source of light will be from the lamp in the
room so that the action of Diana going to bed is relevant to
the scene. A tracking shot and a worm’s eye view of Diana’s
feet will be added as she is walking towards her bed. The
lighting will be 3.0 so that the audience can clearly see what is
going on.

7. Scene 6
• In scene 6, Diana is reading her bible on her bed;
their will be a birds eye view of this action to
show Diana’s full body and the verse in which she
is reading which we be ‘Revelation’. The focus pull
will be on Diana so that the audience can see
Diana amongst the dark surroundings.

8. Scene 7
• While Diana reads the bible their will be a close up
of Diana as she is about to drink cranberry juice
beside her table. After Diana drinks the cranberry
juice, a zoom in to the phone will be added as the
phone vibrates and Diana receives a second text.
The text reads: ‘Karma tastes sweet doesn’t it?’

9. Scene 8
• Diana vomits blood. The blood may be fake blood
purchased from a Halloween shop. While Diana
vomits blood Diana has a quick flashback of Priscilla
crying in a dark room. When Diana vomits blood the
camera will slowly tilt down towards the blood
dripping all over Diana’s white duvet. A sound effect
of a female screaming will occur as the audience
view the blood on the duvet; this sound effect is
added to intensify the situation.

10. Scene 9
• Transition to scene 9 will be a fade from a
black screen. Location: Outside the gates of
the school. A long shot of Diana as she arrives
and shows her ID to the security guard. The
scene will be set in the day as this is relevant
to the college’s opening and closing times.
Afterwards zoom in to Diana’s face will also be
added to show how tired and unhealthy she
looks from last night.

11. Scene 10
• The transition will be a cut to Diana
in the performing arts toilets. Diana
walks out of the toilet (middle shot)
and sees the taps flooded with
blood (shot reverse shot). In shock
Diana moves closer towards the
taps to observe it in greater detail
(over the shoulder shot). Afterwards
Diana slowly looks up (low angle
and middle shot) at the mirror and
sees the address of a park written in
red lipstick (hand held effect and a
long shot of the mirror).
