MY IDEA

Scene	Location	Explanation	Audio
Scene 1	Outisde, Alex’s bedroom, the field.	Start with him on the floor looking straight up to the camera. The camera will then zoom out of his face then cut quickly to him looking in the mirror with the voices in his head.

Scene 2	‘Alex’s Bedroom’	Walking through the door the camera catches the door opening all in slow motion with eary music.

Story Board

Need to re-shot Dom waking up and getting washed then looking in the mirror and hearing the voices. I’ll do this in his bathroom again so the setting is still very simple and straight forward. He looks as if it is normal and he is completely used to it.

The voice over should be my mum as the physiatrist re-doing exactly what dom is saying as if she is diagnosing it. As well as this we want a close up what he is drawing therefore instead of re-filing it show the room having pictures of the boy that is ‘in his mind.

Re-film Dom walking into the woods and have joe in every jump cut in the background so it gives the idea that joe is following dom. Joe needs to be in all black to look scary.

Cuts back to the physiatrist in her room and Dom laying on the sofa. ‘This injection won’t hurt at all, you’re going to tell me exactly what you see and hear in your mind. Camera Zooms in on him asleep and then cuts to ‘in his mind’ and the voice over of dom.
