Planning: Treatment For Our Film Opening

The opening will begin in a kaleidoscopic manner, to add a creepy feel to the opening. It will simultaneously play some eerie non diegetic music. Additionally the titles will begin to be displayed from the beginning when the kaleidoscope also begins, this will be on the actual video to make sure there is as much time on the screen as possible. The kaleidoscopic nature will be disturbed by a twig snapping due to a character stepping on it, the sound of the twig breaking will be enhanced as much as possible in order to change the mood of the opening, from this point on, the beginning will juxtapose with what follows the twig snapping as the three characters (Lauren, Crystal and Rellik) walk through the woods while laughing and joking about. You then get a long shot of the group walking through the woods from someone else's perspective, before it tracks towards them to create an illusion that someone is walking towards them, the walking on crackling leaves will be enhanced. Lauren will soon hear this distinctively, and stop the group telling them to 'sh' and listen to the sound, when this happens the non diegetic sound stops abruptly. This will be followed by a long shot of the group from behind, before the camera starts to become unstable and tracks in while simultaneously suspenseful music speeds up as the camera gets closer and closer to the group. This eventually results in a fake jump scare from the remaining group mates (Scott and Jack) who make Crystal scream as they come up behind the group and frighten them. They begin to laugh about the scare as Crystal playfully hits Scott (her boyfriend) and says 'OMG stop fucking around and lets go' before the group sets off again for the lakehouse, Scott grabs Crystals hand prying her away from Lauren which shows Crystals ignorant nature towards Lauren and how she prioritises Scott over her. Lauren is visibly upset as they walk off leaving her behind with Rellik, who grabs her hand and smiles at her before she returns the gesture and they carry on walking towards the group. This foreshadows the ending of the film, where Lauren grabs Rellik's hand as they flee the lakehouse after setting it on fire with the dead bodies inside.
