Planning: Opening Scene Narrative (Ms Hawkins)

 Opening Scene Narrative 
Of The
Awakening

The scene begins with the screen black, it then suddenly changes into the actual first person filming as it then looks like someone has turned on the camera. The camera then slowly walks into a door which leads to the dining room of the family home. The 'Person' walks in the room and turns his attention to the 4 picture frames he see on the fireplace. The person then views all the pictures one by one, even crossing an x on one of them, the character which had been crossed out isn't clear because just as the camera was going to view the picture frame the thing heard talking. This is when the camera fades to black which suggest the thing holding the camera had turned it off.

The camera angle then changes to a high angle shot as we see the family arriving home, we also notice Sarah and Frank, the mother of Amy arguing about an event that had happen earlier on. Sarah, tells Amy that she should not go in the kitchen for whatever reason, before continuing her argument with her husband frank. While they are still at it at each other they are oblivious to what Amy is doing as Amy walks the kitchen. Amy reaches for a cup to make herself a drink until she hears a knock on the glass door. Amy then suddenly puts the cup down and decides to look outside. As Amy draws the curtain away, the scene changes to Amy's Dad giving up on arguing with his wife until he hears Amy screaming, there is going to be a close up on his face to capture his emotions as he says '' Amy '' before running to her aid in the kitchen. 

The scene changes to the dad running in the kitchen and once there he then kneels down on his knees and holds Amy's hand asking her whats wrong, Amy then tells him that she saw a man in the garden. The dad quickly dismisses her claims and saws that it was just her imagination and maybe she should just go to bed. As he guides Amy back to the dining room he says, '' go bed ill be there in a minute ''. Frank then goes back into the kitchen and walks to the side of the curtain where Amy thought she saw someone standing. As the dad moves the curtain, the camera switches to a point of view, panning shot as the camera main focus is at the door of the old shed, then it slowly moves to the right where Frank then see's what he thinks looks like a figure of a man which then moves behind the shed. Soundtrack will be used her to build tension which will lead up to scare the audience. 

After the dad see's what he think is a figure of a man, the camera then zooms up on his face to capture his emotions. As he starts to slowly walk backwards towards the kitchen cupboards, his wife then walks in the kitchen and looks at frank and then asks him '' are you alright? you look as if you've seen a ghost ''. Frank immediately assures his wife that its nothing, as he turns of the light and walks his wife into the living room, the voice of the two individuals start to lower and lower as the camera focuses on a little gap in the curtain. the music is slow paced, and gets quicker and louder as the camera moves towards the curtain then a eye emerges in the gap of the curtain. Loud noises will be used her to try and scare the audience. The opening then ends and goes onto a black screen where he hear screaming and the title screen comes up saying "The Awakening".
