2 VERY vague alternative narrative ideas

Just in case our main idea can't be used (there may be problems with the coffin part)

Idea 1
First part of a sunset over trees
Some information through anchorage
Establishing shot of a peaceful graveyard, at dusk
Rest of sunset (sun going behind trees)
More anchorage
Flash of a shadow running through woods/ forest
Further anchorage
Another flash of the shadow, getting closer
Darkness, black screen
Scream? Close up of a terrified face
Person/ people running through woods
Pursuer chasing after them
Person falls
Pursuer catches up
Person scrabbling, trying to get away
Pursuer grabs ankle
Extreme close up of victim's face turning, scared
Scream/ silent scream?
Title

Idea 2
Distant shot of a man (in a straight-jacket?) sitting on chair/ floor in an empty, undecorated room, alone
Bright flash
Extreme close up of his mouth, laughing manically, echoing
Bright flash
Back to man in room, slowly zooming in on man
Bright flash
Back to laughing close up
Bright flash
Back to man in room, still zooming, still alone, smiling slightly
Bright flash
Shot of a dead body, echoing laughter over this shot, continuing, growing increasingly louder
Poster of a missing person (the dead body)
Man in room, smiling more
Laughing mouth
Quick, straight cut to poster, laughing overlapping
Close up of man in room, looking into distance then eyes move to looking in the camera
Quick cut to a dark screen
Titles
Dark screen followed by a quick flash of his smile?


(These ideas are very vague, as they are predominately intended to just be back up ideas in case we are unable to use our intended narrative idea. Should we use them, we will discuss them in more detail)

  1. Hey Becky :)
    I think these are brilliant ideas :D
    I really like the use of manic laughter in your second narrative idea - exploring insanity...
    Maybe we could work some of these ideas in with the coffin idea...
    Hope you are having a good holiday
