Script

Opening scene:

Character crouching to the ground to light the lantern.
She then picks it up and sets off.
There will be cuts to her face and her surroundings.
(The lantern will serve as guide to not only her but the audience.)

She is traveling at a hurried pace, looking back constantly.

She stops after about 15 seconds of walking to consider where she should now go.
She decides upon the distant woods and gathers the lantern and her things and continues on.
When she reaches the outside of the woods she comes to a barbed wire fence, this is her last obstacle left to obtain her freedom from the mundane.

She awkwardly and slowly climbs over the fence tearing her shirt along the way.
She looks at her shirt almost discouraged, she regains her composure and continues on resolute.

We then have a full shot of her walking into the woods, not looking back and disappearing in its brush.

  1. I still feel unsure about the intent of this piece other than that it'll be visually compelling. I really like that you want to use the forest metaphorically. I believe this piece will be very beautiful. I'm still having trouble seeing the purpose of the story, but I'm definitely very interested in how it'll turn out visually.

    I really like the aesthetic choices and I like that you want to film at night, but is it only because it is difficult? I know you all want a challenge! This sounds very beautiful though, and I'm excited to see how it'll turn out!
