This blog is showing some of my rough planning as I start to get near the point of planning. These are some extremely basic notes to help me finish putting the final plot together, and will be useful to have when it comes to the further planning of this (shot lists, story boards etc.)
Opening scene: 2.5 minutes All warm light to darker less warm lighting as the night goes on.
- NEED AN OPENING (30 seconds)
- Begins a night full of alcohol, possibly drugs and the tarot cards, desperate to contact satan. (1.5 mins)
- scene finishes Ella, in frustration, throwing them in the bin (30 seconds)
- MUST SEE HER FALL ASLEEP
Nightmare sequence: 1.5 mins In dim lighting but with candle light around. In abandoned looking place.
- Ella starts panting and tossing and turing in her sleep while the sound of a heart beat and chanting starts.
- Ella is now in the middle of a room with bruises all over her.
- Camera pans from the floor up to 3 occult looking members
- Ella sees a mirror in the room
- Distorted images flash while ella is lifting up her shirt to find a symbol carved into her back
- The chanting then get much louder and the scene goes black
- we hear a scream
- ella wakes up to find it was all a dream
After Nightmare: 1 min back in warm but dull lighting.
- Ella is clearly distraught by this dream and, after noticing her water glass is empty, she sighs and walks to the bathroom to get some.
- She comes back into the room rubbing her eyes
- And is stopped suddenly to see the tarot card back on her pillow in a neat pile.
- A loud gasp is heard as the camera goes to black and plays the films name (yet to be decided)
