Script
EXT-FOREST-MIDDAY-WINTER
Forest is shown, location is revealed. Two children run out from behind bush and through forest. Laughing and giggling – one chasing another in play.
Young boy (Simon) In dark clothing hands behind tree in a winter time forest, his hands are positioned to imitate a gun. He turns 180 degrees on the spot and pretends to fire into the distance
Simon: Bang Bang
His friend (Sean) keels over pretending to have been struck, move down slowly and laughing that rises in intensity.
Simon: hahaha, you count and ill hideSimon darts of in a hurry, excited and buzzing with anticipation. Occasionally looking back. Sean’s hands are over his face and then loud noises can be heard in the distance, his hands separate to reveal shocked face. Begin to tremble and look around nervously
Sean: Simon, I think we should go! (Shouting)
Sprints away looking anxious and looking for any route out of forest. Simon still happily running, emphasis and his excitement until it slowly changes to anxious looks.
Sean keeps running through forest paths, looking back occasionally.
Seans facial expression turns to worry and despair as he checks the other paths to see which way he can go.
He eventually comes to a stream, with a road over a bridge and seeks safety.
Seans foot splashes through the stream as he quickly crosses.
He clambers wearily up the bank. Revs of an engine are heard and Sean becomes scared and hides against the wall.
Car comes round the far distant corner of road at high speed, travels directly onto bridge, where skids/screeches to a halt.
Figures foot is shown coming out of the vehicle when the door opens.
Figure, disguised with black hat, gets out of car and walks hurrily towards the boot. He opens it and retrieves a large black bag, he then walks towards the edge of the bridge and slyly throws the bag off, in which it lands in the stream and causes a large splash
Figure urgently shuts boot and returns to car.
He enters the car and screeches away in a hurry.
[UNDER BRIDGE – BELOW]
Sean, with the black bag right in front of him, is intrigued and cautiously moves down the bank towards it.
He hops down the bank, crouches and kneels forward to within touching distance.
He slowly feels around the bag, with a confused, yet slightly scared facial expression.
Suddenly, a dirty, brown and scruffy hand rips a whole in the top of the bag and extends upwards scaring Sean.
Sean falls back into the bank in horror, his facial expression scared and his mouth wide open.
Sean tries to clamber the bank, but the mud prevents this and his feet continuously slip.
He decides to run the other way through the stream, and under bridge.
(In the mean time the figure is slowly rising, however out of shot)
Sean is continuously looking back to check out the situation.
The figure from the bag slowly rising, crooked and jolty. He then wanders slowly the opposite way to the boy down the stream.
Sean keeps running until he feels he is safe and far enough away from the events that have just unfolded. [FURTHER INTO FOREST]
[END OF OPENING]
