Mind The Gap
EXT.
FOREST SETTING - DUSK 1.
FADE IN.
This first scene is set in the
future. We are introduced to AMBER by a POV shot of a secluded forest AMBER is
a young female who is around 17 years old. Her condition leaves the audience
with the impression she is in trouble. AMBER is running through dark, cold and
claustrophobic woods far away from any near by towns. She is wearing a white
top, with a cream scarf, with black trousers. The connotation of colour here
reflects her innocence. She has lost a layer of clothing, which could resemble
that THE FOLLOWER has stripped a layer off her. This could resemble the idea of
she is no longer in control and reflects her vulnerability.
AMBER
is in a panic, running through the woods far out of town that is
unrecognizable, with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. The shelter from the
trees can’t even protect her. The crushing of the leaves reflects the crushing
of her fragile body. We will then continue with using a diegetic voiceover of
AMBER panting this reflects her weakness and vulnerability.
We open
with a LONG SHOT of AMBER running through the destructive woods. The camera
PANS round from left to right resembling a figure watching her. The continuous
use of the diegetic sound of AMBER panting. The audience should now feel a
connection and feel her agonizing pain. We then cut to a MEDIUM SHOT revealing
AMBER who looks frightened and battered and the rugged features of a ghost.
This image will show her vulnerability and the vast power of the predator.
The
scene changes to a POV shot from THE FOLLOWER this reveals AMBER running
abruptly ahead. Through showing AMBER battered and fearful. She stumbles to the
ground and stressfully attempts to clamber away. She is startled by the breathe
of THE FOLLOWER and freezes with fear. We then cut to an OVER THE SHOULDER shot
of THE FOLLOWER approaching AMBER. We then hear AMBER's heavy breathing
resembling her agony.
BLACK OUT.
EXT. OLD
TRAIN STATION - GETTING DARK 2.
FADE IN
We open in an aged train station –
one that AMBER had frequently used throughout her life. The train station
crammed full of people needing to get home. The same specific reasons for
AMBER. AMBER is waiting alone for her friend, who is soon to arrive. The
weather is damp and cold, and as the trains begin to approach and the
passengers begin to leave. AMBER is left alone, no sign of her friend arriving.
AMBER receives a text from her friend shown through a POV shot, revealing ‘I’m
coming’ the text therefore reassures AMBER and starts to feel more relaxed.
AMBER then looks up to reveal she
in fact isn’t alone. Within a LONG SHOT a dark mysterious character is shown on
the other side of the platform. AMBER
anonymous to this does not think anything of it and watches the train going
straight through to London approach shown through a POV shot, when the train
has gone past. The dark figure has disappeared. We then cut to MEDIUM SHOT
revealing AMBER’s facial expression, shocked as the figure had disappeared,
innocently AMBER assumes the best and shrugs her shoulders and continues to
text her friend. A LONG SHOT revealing the mysterious character has appeared on
the same side of the platform as AMBER. As the character approaches the shots
become darker, and quicker. And finally cut to a shot of amber in CLOSE UP. We
place a voice over of amber ‘gasping’ with fright.
AMBER
Uhhh
