Our Narrative

This is a bullet point list of the narrative for our final piece:

• Opens with an establishing long shot of the female protagonist, centralised in the frame. Setting - in a dark room, low key lighting. 
• Close up of her pouring the drink, body language should show signs of anxiety distress
• Tilt up from her hands to an extreme close up of her eyes
• Cut to white background and a non diagetic sound effect to establish a flashback
• In the flash back the audience see's a point of view shot of the protagonist when she was told by a teacher her brother had gone missing. Approximately, this should last up to 3-5 seconds.
• The whispering of the word "missing" is then repeated when the audience views a close up of the protagonist back in the room.
• Titles will start to appear in different corners of the frame.
• The non diagetic sound will start to play other the top of this.
• The protagonist starts to act distressed and agitated this is shown through the close ups of her fidgeting with her hair and scratching her head. 
• The atmosphere in the room builds as she starts to go through old papers and articles of her brothers disappearance.
• The pace of the editing will increase through a series of close ups and extreme close ups of the props and the protagonist. She will be circling, underlining and ripping parts of old photos, newspaper and articles.This should last around 35-50 seconds.
• The title then will appear on the screen. The sound would have built up throughout the scene until a loud noticeable note. This should last for around 3 seconds.
•  The male antagonist will be firstly introduced with a medium shot of him stood infront of a mirror, doing up his tie. (Attempting to look "normal").
• He will then turn towards and walk out of the front door picking up a brief case and shouting (positively) "Bye!" -  7-10 seconds.
• Will then cut to an extreme long shot, of him leaving the house to establish the difference in location. Lighting should be brighter to help the scenes contrast the previous scene.
