Film Ideas: Sanctum (Idea 2)

A newly-wed couple are back from their love filled honeymoon to find someone from Ben's past waiting for them. Sophie discovers a hidden secret that will change her life forever.

We have chosen to film this idea because it is actually doable and sounds like more of a thriller than a horror.

Shooting Script:

Begin with a panning shot of wedding photos on a side table with other items associated with a wedding. This is to set the scene and to build tension. There will be a quiet piano playing over the shot (will be added in editing). The married couple come into shot unaware of what is about to happen. There's a dark figure in the corner who appears behind them. He comes out of the dark and reveals his face. There is a heated discussion between Ben and the man, this is when he has to tell Sophie what he has done. We will use the 180 degree rule with low angle shots during the conversation and sharp and short scenes to build the tension further,the music will lead up to a peak when there is a struggle. we will cut to a shot of outside the house with a woman's scream played over the top.

We will need 3 of 4 actors for this opening if we have 4 one will be an extra who is walking past the house or something like that.

So that we can begin filming we need to

• Take some photos of our actors in a wedding dress (or prom dress) , print them off and put them in photo frames so that we can film the panning shot.
• Collect various UN-copyrighted tracks from soundsnap.com or record our own music using a piano and guitar.
• Ask around for actors using year 12/13 performance students.
• Find a set and all other props.
