The opening sequence begins with an overhead shot of AMBER lying
on the ground outside with her eyes shut. Her facial expression
is neutral, her make up is simple (eyeliner and red lipstick)
00:20
After a dissolve transition there is a long shot of AMBER and her
FRIEND walking along both of them looking at AMBER'S phone. Their
facial expression will be a little confused/ lost.
00:30
The next shot is an overhead shot which shows the screen of
AMBER'S phone. There is a map. AMBER and her FRIEND are clearly
lost or are not sure where they are going.
Long shot from in front of AMBER and her FRIEND continuing to
walk, looking around them for some kind of clue as to where they
are but mainly still looking down at the map on the phone, trying
to figure out where they are going. When you see their facial
expression it is still confused/lost.
00:35
Mid shot of the two friends stopping, looking up and
around them properly, suddenly realising where they are.
AMBER looks quite excited and quite happy and content at
her surroundings whereas the FREIND looks worried and
scared about where they have ended up.
00:40
Eye line match occurs, showing the location of the
graveyard. Right in the middle of the graveyard is a
tall tree.
Close up shot of AMBER showing her facial expression
which is still quite excited and intrigued.Close up shot
of FRIEND showing her facial expression which is scared,
indicating she does not want to be in the graveyard.
00:45
Long shot of the two girls, FRIEND begins to back away
slowly and then leaves AMBER by herself after running
away. AMBER continues on into the graveyard, still looks
excited and intrigued.
00:50
Long shot from behind of the FREIND running
down the path alone (she has just left AMBER).
She has decided for sure she was not
adventuring any further into the graveyard so
continues to leave.
00:60
POV from the Mystery Creature's perspective,
looking at AMBER who is still all alone. She
does not look vulnerable however, but daring
and determined to explore. She’s taking photos
on her phone and looking around her.
00:65
Close up shot on Amber's pocket, she puts her
phone away.
Long shot from behind of AMBER walking towards the same
area/ direction of the tree (where the Mystery Creature)
is hiding.
00:75
POV from the Mystery Creature's perspective again of
AMBER coming towards him/ the area of the tree.
Long shot of AMBER from behind continuing to walk
towards the tree.
00:80
POV from Mystery Creature's perspective of AMBER coming
towards him.
Long shot of AMBER from behind continuing to walk
towards the tree.
(THESE FIVE SHOTS WILL BE EDITED INTO CROSS CUTTING. We may add more than
just the five shots when it comes to editing depending on how fast paced we
decide we want the shots.)
00:90
After a black screen, the
opening sequence will end with
an overhead shot of AMBER lying
on the floor with her eyes shut
(matching the first shot at the
beginning of the sequence).
Suddenly her eyes open to reveal
that they are red, suggesting
the possession of something
supernatural.
