Courtney's Film Idea
Opening three minutes:
The sequence opens with an establishing shot of a large abandoned building with two girls A and B stood in front of it. It flashes back to a conversation between them and a few of their friends. A mid-shot shows 4 people stood facing one another. The two girls, A and B are being pressured into exploring the old house; this conversation is shown by using shot-reverse-shot. A extreme-close up is used on girl A's eye which then transitions into another close up of the same eye in the present day. Shot-reverse shot is then used to show a conversation between A and B about how girl A is being pathetic and scared. The girls start walking toward the door of the abandoned house and a mid-shot is used to show this. A close-up is then used on the stairs to show their feet travelling up the staircase. After this a bird's eye view is used when A and B reach the door and then a close-up when A pulls down the door handle to enter the house.
It is pitch black inside the house.
When B switches on the light, a close up is used. It then switches to a mid-shot of the room they are in, when the lights start to flicker on and off. A point of view shot of A is used, when A and B are wandering through the house. A panning shot is then used to show a shelf of jars containing strange substances. A pull-focus over the shoulder shot, shows B pick up a jar from the shelf as she examines it, it then focuses on the back of A's shoulder, where a claw is seen reaching for her. Then it quickly cuts to a mid-shot of the two girls, as A jumps forward in shock, knocking the jar from B's hand. A and B then have a short argument using shot-reverse-shot. A POV high angle shot is used looking down at the two girls. A close up of A's ear is used when she hears creaking and footsteps coming towards them.
The girls quickly walk towards the front door wanting to get out of the house as soon as possible. As A and B are walking towards the door, a canted angle is used to show their confusion. A worm's eye view is then used when B tries the door but finds out it is locked. A close-up of the door handle is used when they try to force it open. The door won't open no matter how hard they try. The two girls split up and start to run around the house looking for another exit, a lot of mid-shots and close-ups and quick cuts in the editing are used to show the fast pace and panic of the situation.
Neither of them can find any exit, so they meet back in the hallway. Suddenly the lights turn off. Objects start flying everywhere and shattering sounds are heard in the darkness. B gets out her phone and turns on the flashlight. Since the front door was the only door leading in and out of the building, they try breaking it down. The flashlight illuminates A's face which is shown by using a close-up; when suddenly A is dragged backwards. A scream is heard in the distance and the flashlight turns off. The title screen then appears on a black background.
