Shot List

1. The group of picnickers going into the woods with their camping stuff. An establishing shot is used to show all of the characters and to show the magnitude of the woods.
2. A medium to long shot shows the characters and their tents in a clearing, maybe with a fire in the middle. The surrounding trees are visible, showing that they are deep in the woods.
3. It is later and darker and an over the shoulder shot is used whilst one of the characters tells a story about the history of the woods.
4. A close up of the storyteller’s face with the fire lighting it from underneath to make it more dramatic.
5. A flashback that shows what the storyteller is explaining with them still narrating the story over the top. A medium shot of a person bound to a tree, another person walks into the shot making it an over the shoulder shot. It cuts out as they walks towards the person tied to the tree.
6. Back to the over the shoulder shot as the storyteller finishes their story and shows the other information that backs it up and shows them the supposed very same tree.
7. Close up of the tree as the examine it and one of them accidentally grazes their palm on it.
8. A reaction shot of the others as they look at the ‘evidence’.
9. A medium shot of two of the campers in a tent as a shadow passes over the side of the tent and they hear rustling noises outside. They look at each other before looking at the tent entrance.
10. Extreme close up of one of their faces?
11. A medium shot (low angle?) showing the tents as the two people crawl out of their tent and look around.
12. A long shot shows all of the campers looking around as they see a shadow and hear a noise. One of them (possibly the storyteller) goes into the trees to have a look but doesn’t come back.
13. Close up of the others as they enter the woods to look for the other person and get lost themselves.
14. Different close up shots of the characters running through the woods on their own. (Close ups of their feet, etc)
15. Title
16. Medium shot to close up of the main character on her own in a small clearing. She hears sounds and there are lots of shadows moving around as she looks around. Something suddenly grabs her from behind and drags her into the bushes as she screams.
17. Title – “Coming Soon”
18. Medium shot of one of them at home packing talking to her mum. She says “What’s the worst that can happen” before it cuts out.
