Initial Brainstorming/Story Board 

Scene #1 - Introduction

 

Summary: The characters are informed that their friend is declared dead. The sad teens

take the information in, but are still left a little skeptical about their friend's

mysterious death.

Technical Elements:  

Location- Tree Top Park (parking lot area)

Shallow Focus- would show the fog around and background being blurry

Sound Effects- police siren

Scene #2 - Into the woods

 

Summary: The clip starts off with the teens hearing a sound in the woods and they also see footsteps which sparks their curiosity. (the camera transitions towards the noise)  They begin going into the forest and it transitions to an establishing shot.

Technical Elements:

Establishing shot - (use the drone to go over the forest to get an overview)

Aerial shot- shows the overview of the forest in which we would be walking

Point of view shot -  the initial shot to show us hearing the footsteps and then turning to look

Handheld camera - to show the “nervousness or fear” that the teens are feeling at that moment

Sound - Diegetic sound of the footsteps being enhanced

Scene #3 - Finding a Clue

Summary: After entering the woods, the group of friends starts fooling around , when Nestor trips and finds an old necklace on the floor. The clip then transitions into a flashback of the missing friend, (anabel) and reveals that that is the necklace that she used to wear. They open up the locket and find a message that ends up leading them to the abandoned warehouse

Technical Elements: 

Tracking - follows the friends running from the figure

Insert - zooms in on the necklace to put emphasis on it

Flashback - shows a clip of Anabel with her necklace in the past

Eye line match - shows a close up of his eyes and then shows what he is looking at (the locket)

Scene #4 - Abandoned Warehouse 

Summary: Clip opens up with the 3 friends looking up to the scary  abandoned building. We end the scene with the friends walking in the abandoned building while someone is secretly watching them from a far through the bushes. The friends turn and there is a quick shift in the camera as if someone is trying to hide, leaving it up to the audience’s interpretation

Technical Elements: 

Hand held cam - the camera is shaky and behind a bush. It is set up at a sneaky angle to make it look like some is watching us

Folly sound - we are gonna adit in a sound of bushes rattling in the wind

Long shot - we would do this to show the difference in size of the building in comparison to the abandoned building
