Overview of Story
They say a parents worst nightmare is losing a child. This is the horror
that I intend to use in my movie.
The scariest of all things is the unknown, and even when identifying or
personifying this fear having no motive, other than the simple need
rather than desire to do it gives a feeling of helplessness and terror.
The story is about willing abduction and a parent’s helpless search for
answers only to find a terrible truth and a confrontation with an ancient
entity of sorrow. Is the truth always worth the chase?
Outline of opening horror sequence
Beginning
In my story a group of children will be playing in a park together and we
see at the edge of the camera a tall faceless man watching.
As the camera pulls him into more focus the camera will flicker and we
will see unstable interference.
Fade in with the OX symbol and the sound of rewinding tape.
The children slowly drop their toys and we cut to a close up on the toys,
now broken, and see them start to decay with wind and dust covering
them as if we are fast forwarding through time, we cut to the living
room of an old home facing the fireplace with pictures of children on the
mantle, no windows and only dim light can be seen and the same decay
happens theiras well. (close up on a picture of one child as the frame
cracks suddenly. A rewind sound is heard again with more interference
as we see a shadow and vague outline of slender man appear on the
photograph.
4. Middle
We see the children walking towards the man arms outstretched, we
start with a side view of the children walking from the right side of the
camera to the left, as the last is about to pass we cut to a shot of the
children walking towards the camera, black expressions.Finally we cut to
a image of the children walking towards the man, his arms slowly
outstretch, he is not in focus but is instead blurred while still being in the
center of the frame the entire time.
The screen shows interference again as the man comes into greater
focus and the children all turn towards the camera at the last moment.
The screen goes black but we still see the faint glow from the whites of
their eyes, they slowly fade
End
We cut to a desolate abandoned area with bones and freshly dug earth
and see the ox flash.
Cut to parents in tears pinning up missing posters, followed by an
immediate close up of a missing poster, slowly zoom out to show a wall
full of posters clearly spanning across decades.
Cut to a hill top and fast forward showing the day passing till we have a
sunrise in orange light and we close up on the base of an old dead tree.
Bodies lying around it, skeletons and corpses. It is clear none of the
bodies have injuries but they are all dirty with filthy, but undamaged
clothing. We see the shadow of a child swinging from the tree, clearly
hung and moving in a gentle breeze.
We cut and see the slender man watching solemnly head bowed, the
tree and figure in the tree is out of focus, but we can see it is a young girl
with a white ribbon in her hair, the ribbon comes loose in the breeze.
We cut to a extreme long shot, with the tree in the distance and we
finish with the ribbon flying into the camera shot.
5. Props List
Vodka bottle
this will be held by chav 1 and will be almost empty, implying to the audience
that this is a group of underage drinkers, and possibly trash. The sort of people
you love to hate.
Joint
held by chav 2. Used for the same reason as the vodka bottle, the chav will pull
out the joint and light it then take a long deep drag, we will zoom in slowly on his
face as he exhales.
lighter
used in conjunction with the joint
morphsuit
What is a villain without his signature outfit? This is the slendermancostume, he
will wear a black suit on top giving him a scene of the unknown and mystery.
Without a visible face it prevents the protagonist from knowing just who the foe
is, adding terror and taking away the ability to put a face to the foe.
6. Childrens toys
the idea of teenagers playing with children’s toys is rather disturbing, especially
if the teenagers are dressed in white “pure” outfits. It gives the impression of the
villain being able to twist and break the basic instincts and values of the victims.
Broken toys
by showing the toys breaking then the teens dying in dirty white clothing I
attempts to show the death of innocence in these victims, showing that my villain
has a different incentive than just mass murder on his mind. It also asks the
question why does he want to kill the innocence of the world?
Chav clothing
typical teen waste of space clothing. Tells the audience these are loud,
obnoxious and generally unlikable creeps. Makes the audience not truly
care for the character, and shows they are only intended to be fodder to
reveal the villain of the show.
7. “innocent” outfits
a huge contrast to the chavs original clothing. By wearing these t shows
that they has thrown away the skummy side of themselves and are now
pure and or innocent. This with the glazed over zombifies expressions on
their face shows it is not something natural for them.
