Final Idea (Detailed)


SCENE ONE;
  • Firstly, the opening title sequence will play. This goes through various fast cuts of shots of different art supplies, ending with a close up shot of a charcoal pencil being dragged along paper and snapping. The opening title music stops abruptly with the snap of the pencil.
  • Once the pencil has snapped, there is a tracking shot out revealing a teenage (17/18 year old) Boy holding the pencil who is sat in an art class in a college classroom. This tracks backwards into a long/wide shot of the entire classroom, with the Boy in the centre of the shot with a teenage girl on either side of him working on their art. Girl One is on the right. Girl Two is on the left. MASTER SHOT. The shot does not change until specified. The sound during this shot is muffled background noise of the classroom, should sound faded as though hearing sound from underwater.
  • The boy then speaks. As he speaks, all sound returns to completely normal sound. He complains about his broken pencil. The girls look up from their work as he speaks. He stands and turns to the table behind him which is full of art materials. 
  • As he stands, the shot changes to a shot of the gap between the two tables. The Boy is in the centre, his table on the left, the art table on the right. He searches through materials and complains about being unable to find any more charcoal pencils. He shouts to someone off screen, "Sir, there's no more charcoal pencils left!", and the person off screen (an adult male teacher) replies, "The lesson's almost done. Go get some from the art storage building.
  • The shot then cuts back to the master shot. The two girls shut their sketchbooks as the boy turns back round to push his chair under the desk. The girls stand up. Whilst they all start to leave on the right hand side of the screen, the shot cuts to a close up of Girl One's face. As they still walk through the classroom to the door, shot stays on Girl One's face, tracks with her. "Hey, I've gotta go to the art storage anyway 'Boy'. Me and 'Girl Two' will go and pick up some charcoal for you. Okay?" she says. 
  • Shot cuts to mid shot of them approaching the door. Door is on the right of the shot. Boy opens door. Cuts in order [ALL MATCH ON ACTION]: close up of hand touching handle, back to mid shot showing door open, cut to shot from other side of door of door finishing opening, back to mid shot showing them walk through [Girl Two says "Goodbye!" to teacher who stays off-screen], back to shot from other side of door showing Girl Two walk through door and door partly closing behind her, cut from outside in corridor (door on right of corridor, three characters in centre left-right Boy, Girl One, Girl Two.) Camera tracks backwards down corridor with them.
  • Three characters walk towards camera. Boy says, "Sure. I'll see you two tomorrow then." Tracking stops. Shot cuts to close up of Boy's face. "I'll text you, 'Girl Two'." Cut to mid shot from side. Boy hugs Girl Two. Girl Two says, "I love you, bye.
  • Backing music starts.
  • Boy walks off out of shot. Shot then tracks alongside two girls who keep walking down corridor. They go past a figure blocking camera's view. WIPE SHOT TO NEXT SCENE.
SCENE TWO;
  • WIPE SHOT ENDS WITH GIRL ONE AND TWO WALKING DOWN PATH ON WAY TO ART STUDIO. 
  • Camera tracks alongside girls [in background they pass a calender marked 'April 1st'] still as they reach art studio door, which they go through [MATCH ON ACTION]. 
  • Shot cuts to a dark room. Camera is facing door. MASTER SHOT. You can hear a door open and shut as the girls walk in. Lights flicker on. Girl One says, "So, how are things going with 'Boy'?" as the two girls walk in different ways. Girl One goes to right. Girl Two goes to left. Door is in centre. Girl Two says, "God, you're so nosy.Shot cuts to slightly low angle mid shot of Girl Two's face, who is looking through boxes on a desk. You can hear two girls moving things around. Girl One says [off screen], "Hell yeah. Now tell me.". Girl Two starts to laugh/sigh.
  • Lights suddenly turn off. BACK TO MASTER SHOT. Girls turn to look at each other. Girl Two says, "What the hell?" Cut to tracking shot of Girl One walking to door/light switches. Girl One, "Damn lights." Cut to close up of her flicking light switches back on. LOUD SHARP SHORT DRAMATIC SOUND as cut to mid shot of girl facing camera with door behind her and silhouetted figure behind her through the door. 
  • Fast Pan round to Girl Two, who is stood opposite Girl One. "Holy shit!" Girl Two screams, pointing at door. Fast Pan backwards to Girl One, figure is now gone. Girl One, "What?" Camera remains on Girl One, who turns around to face door as Girl Two says, "There was someone stood in the door!"  
  • Cut to shot from outside room looking through door window, two girls visible one behind other, Girl Two slightly to the right. Door opens fully. Girl One, "There's no one-" Girl Two, "I swear it!", Girl One, "Fine, stay here and I'll go check it out." Girl leaves to the left of shot, door shuts. MATCH ON ACTION. Cut to side long shot of entire room with Girl Two stood in the centre, door on left, facing door. Door finishes closing. A few seconds of silence, no cuts, just Girl Two visibly getting more concerned. Eventually she calls out, "'Girl One'? You okay?"
  • LOUD BANGING AS THINGS FALL FROM OUTSIDE DOOR, IMPLIED IT BLOCKS THE DOOR OFF. Cut to mid shot behind Girl Two, tracks as she runs to door. She shouts as she runs to door, then bangs on it when she reaches it. Cut to side mid shot of her pushing and banging on door, shouting.
