Gina Allen Horror Film Idea 1. First 3 Minutes

Gina Allen Horror Film Idea 1: 

First 3 minutes: 

The scene opens with Girl A talking a therapist in an office, shot reverse shot is used to show the  conversation and certain reactions. A 180 degree line is held to ensure that there is continuity throughout. The girl discusses how she hates how her life is, and she feels like "her world is ending" A fade to black happens to indicate that time has past, when the fade ends it comes into an establishing shot of a group of teenagers (B,C,D and E) these are making fun of Girl A and decide to play a prank on her, they dress up as if they are dead and scare the girl as she is walking around her school. A low angle pan is used to show B,C,D and E taunting her. The camera uses tilts and tracking shots to show the girl running and falling to the floor. The camera shots are used for effect as it suggests the confusion and chaos in the scene. The girl falls to the floor and starts hysterically crying suggesting that she's having a breakdown. A crane is used to lower the camera steadily onto the girls level, a series of close ups and mid shots are used to show the pure emotion on Girl A's face, this shows the fear and the terror. A straight cut shows the group of teenagers laughing about how much Girl A believed them when suddenly the lights start to flicker. A long shot shows how they are all put on edge by the lights however they don't think that it's anything scary.  All at once multiple objects start to fall off of the shelves and the lights continue to flicker, the camera shot used to show the falling objects is a close up for them moving and a long shot for when they fall to the floor. B runs to the door to try and escape however it turns out to be locked, a mid shot is used to show her running to the door as it also establishes where she is. I chose an extreme close up to be used here as it shows the horror in her eyes. This is the last shot to be seen before the lights go down an there is only darkness. Diegetic sounds of heavy breathing and desperate attempts to open the door are heard. No noise is heard for a second before screams erupt from the group.The title of the film them appears. Throughout this sequence music is used that fits the scene, the music gets louder at the climatic points in the story except at the end where only diegetic sounds can be heard.
