DEADEN HIKES SCREEN PLAY
Characters:
Iyra- Pale skin, looks homeless, run down make up, bags under her eyes, back comb bits of hair, quite timid, has rips in her clothes.
Runner- Hair up, wearing a hoodie, trainers, looks sporty, outgoing personality, helpful.
1. Wide Establishing shot that is sped up. Put the camera on the tripod or bench, and leave it there whilst the sun comes up to show that time has progressed and it’s still morning. There will be the diegetic sound in the background of the shot.
2. The shot turns into a pan, where the runner will run swiftly past, so she disturbs the scene and there is no longer peacefulness. The Go-Pro camera could be used so the audience will be able to see where the runner is going. The sound will be a quiet heartbeat of the runner.
3. Low shot of the runner’s shoes when they’re running, so you can see them traveling across the grass. The sound will be the footsteps in the grass and the rustle of the leaves.
4. Quick cuts of hands tied together in rope. Movement of hands slightly, showing she’s not 100% comfortable and she wants to escape. Iyra is already in the woods.
5. Next is a shot with the Go-Pro, showing the runner’s movement and what they can see in front of them. You can hear heavy breathing to show that it’s actually from her point of view.
6. A close up of the runners footprint will be shown. The camera will focus on the footprint after the runner has ran in the mud, and a title will appear in the mud after it’s been stepped in. You will be able to hear the squelch of the mud.
7. The camera will be set up on a tripod from a distance, then it will pan across, looking at the runner go across the screen. The runner has a paranoid look on her face, then looks behind.
8. There is a cross cut to Iyra sat down on her own at the tree, she is looking confused and keeps talking to herself. After the video has been shot, there will be voices added into the scene when editing, so you can hear the voices in her head.
9. The camera will go to a close up of Iyra’s face, where you will see her facial expression as being slightly frightened, the viewer will be able to tell this because she will be fidgeting around (trying to escape the ropes)
10. Place the camera on the grass/ground between the leaves and the long grass, so you can see the runner. The camera is from Iyra’s point of view as she’s got closer (the runner). The vision is slightly blurred.
11. There will be two camera shots, one of Iyra and the other one of the runner. The screen will be split into 2 and we will see the runner getting closer to Iyra. This will show their two perspectives.
12. Super imposed images put together, use the shot of the trees spinning. Distort the images by adding sharp white tones to the pictures. There will be high pitch sounds added to this scene.
13. Iyra has now got changed and is wearing the clothes of the runner. This suggests that she will get away with living a normal life, and not getting caught or told off for escaping the mental asylum.
14. The main title will then come on at the end, to make the end of the opening.
