Finalising Narratives

House

Couple are having a night in away from parents so they are home alone, things start to get scary and strange as they start to realise they are not alone. They are trying to keep all the lights on, but the figure keeps turning them off.

- First act is building up their relationship and showing the story i.e shots of them cooking dinner

- Opening scenes of stability and home comfort can be cut with narrative graphics

- Shot of them entering from garden, guy locking door behind him and we see a figure in the garden as the light goes out

- long shots of happy household (soon to be broken) intercut with narrative graphics

- As soon as they leave garden they hear a noise and find the door open

-relock the door and has a look around the house

-shot of him peering into a dark room, in the darkness can vaguely see the figure

-same shot but different room, he turns the light on and the figure disappears

- couple talk to each other and vow to stick together, keep all the lights on

- cut with a narrative graphic to shots of them running/ screaming, alone

- start montage of them

-running around house finding blood smear

-open a door to see the figure standing there

-shot from the street of the house, of the power going out

act 1

    
stop motion carving into tree for ident

slow motion leaves blowing

panning across empty street to show house with a sold sign

Moving in to the house, walk past neighbours who are ‘conspiring’, don’t answer their greeting "hello neighbour!", couple look to each other and shrug fade to black (gust of wind)

shot from inside dark house of door opening, pushing old newspapers and letters out the way and letting in light fade to black

follow them as they walk in over shoulder like children of men, "its a nice place you know, cant see why it went so cheap, (Sound bridge to view of house from street) neighbours a bit weird but im sure they'll warm up to us, (shot of house including road, see figure starts to congregate staring at house).

Checks the phone line to dial tone, "Come on did you even set up the phone line!?, eurghh i'll just watch tv" (over shoulder of her watching tv) (screen on showing Static.Welcome to the street... Static Neighbour) this introduces the style of narrative graphics, static and then text.
Timelapse of the sky turning to evening/night
Voiceover "Somethings not right, I don't know whether its the house this street or or you but I don't feel good here"

See shadow playing across the curtain/blinds from outside

dark figure in the garden over the shoulder as they close the back door
watching through trees
Standing over the couple sleeping, hand held cam
Dog barking, wont follow orders "Hey whats wrong!?"

silence and fade before second act and 3^rd act Montage sequence

peaking out window – drawing curtain. Same shot later of them looking out but red blood smears and warnings and whatnot are on the glass, but not in view of character.
Character with figure behind them, they don't know just we!
tilted shot - Spooky staircase
messing with the lights and radios, tv even in the house
Lots of narrative graphics but into montage
***** "I love it!"
****** "No more sweet for dreams for  me"
"Scarred for life"
"Brave enough to watch this masterpiece"

someone in the street/ then no one in the street - car drives past they disappear

peaking around the corridor and seeing nothing
Tv going crazy, mad sounds and vision
Girl carrying thing and gets scared so drops it, loud crash!
Steps in glass later?
grabbing knife to defend, walking scared
running and falling
trying to climb spikey fence, leaves it bloody inc hands
shaking the bars SCREAMING

Running through the forest
Axe through door (above head)
finding blood, clench wound, look at hands, shaking

dragging body along the floor
