Shotlist

This is the shotlist at the bottom are some shots that have not been numbered they are possible shots.

1. Fade from black to production titles. The titles are de-saturated and grainy and occur as the sound track features the crackling of the vinyl record.


2. Reflective Media


3. Red moon Pictures


4. Long distance shot of Gramophone sitting on a small table at the end of a small hallway. The camera tracks forward slightly.

5. Extreme close-up of the Gramophone needle on the vinyl as the record turns. Sound bridge of cutlery sounds.

6. Shot above dinner table, Father is out of focus and close to the camera at close up distance, and the son is at medium shot distance at the other side of the table. The focus pulls from the son to the father as the father turns his head and asks ‘What’s that?’ referring to the music playing from the gramophone. A quick flicker of the lights occurs in the background.

7. Reaction shot of the father mid-way through turning his head from the last shot and looking just above the viewpoint of the camera at close-up distance.
(Do we want an eyeline match????)

8. Aerial shot of the two characters at the table, with the light bulb in view, flickering out.

9. Quick shot of the son doing a similar thing to the dad before the room plunges into darkness as the lights finally go out.

10. Pitch Black. He tells his son to stay where he is. Sounds of the father moving through the kitchen e.g. footsteps and opening a draw as the father takes out the torch.

11. Low angle shot of the father as the torch turns on and illuminates the area slightly. He starts to lift the torch.

12. Medium shot of the father as he turns around to face the dining table and starts to point the torch towards the general direction of the camera.


13. Point of view shot where the torch is pointed directly at the son’s chair, which is now empty.

14. Close up of the father’s face, demonstrating his reaction. He starts to move out of shot. The shot fades to black when he moves out of shot and bridges sounds of footsteps on floorboards.

15. The father calls his son’s name, and this audio bridges over the next couple of shots. Fades from black to close up of his feet stepping across the floorboards. Fades back to black.

16. Fades from black to a shot of a door from within a dark room as the torch peers around the corner and gets pointed directly at the camera and causes a lens flare. Fades back to black.

17. Sound bridge of the words ‘Daddy, I’m scared’ transition into the shot. Fades from black to a medium shot of the dad’s back as he walks slowly down the hallway from low angle (almost point of view from the son). The son steps into shot, his feet obscuring the view.

18. Medium close-up shot from behind the father as he turns around and starts to point the torch towards the direction of the camera / Medium close-up shot of the dad facing the camera. The Dad starts to turn and point the torch at the son, bringing some of the son’s silhouette into light.


19. Point of View shot of the father lifting the torch to his son’s face to reveal…wait for it…DEMON FACE! Orchestral swell and sharp dramatic audio.

20. The Light falls from the son’s face as the Dad drops the torch. The screen goes pitch black and goes silent

21. Small instrumental Crescendo. Cut to: lights back up with father and son in an embracing hug. Over-the-shoulder shot of the father’s face reveals that he has entered an anxious state. Dialogue from father “Everything will be OK”

22. Bleed on effect text: “A house of unseen evils”

23. Shot from the windscreen of the house. Camera movement: pan round to the father driving.

24. Shots of father and son unpacking boxes

25. Shot of father bringing out a picture of his wife. Over the shoulder shot + close-up reaction shot.

26. Shot of father standing in a doorway from behind. Father’s movement: turns his head as though he has heard something.

27. Bleed on effect text: “Will seize two lives” (after this point pace of editing increases, drums/music increases in volume + pace)

28.

29. Sound bridge: thunder. Shot of son pulling covers over his head (can have an insert shot of exterior of the house when the lighting strikes).

30. Cut to (this cut is timed with lighting from the previous shot) father looking at writing on a wall (just father in shot). Another flash from the lighting takes us to the next shot (fade to white, from white to Priest!!!! Or just another fade…)

31. Close-up of the priest as the sound bridges to him saying ‘It’s not your son, it’s the house!’ he could be holding the Dad on the shoulder, almost like he is trying to stop him from walking away

31. Cut to low angle shot of walls (father is slightly in shot) with the writing: “I will bury you”

32. Bleed on effect text: “And bury them” (Music/drums/whatever again, is becoming increasingly faster)
