We then go cut to an over the shoulder shot of Alex and Middle Aged man dressed in black with a white mask on and a large knife hanging loosely from his hand.

Then we go cut back to Lola who continues to walk she then hears another snap of a stick breaking, but In front of her so she turns on her torch on her phone to catch a glimpse of Alex In his mask, (she screams?), there is then another snap behind her so she turns me around and points her torch at the forest she then turns around to I see Alex right in front of her she drops her phone and torch and disappears…??? Dip to black or ECU on her mouth as she screams or wide scared eyes??

We see with a trail of blood leading into the forest

Can we see this argument between her and boyfriend? Do we hear this over the opneiong establishing shot of the street and house? Or at least see her storm out of the house and down the driveway, with him after her, calling he r back apologising? She screams back, ‘Go to hell/Leave me alone’.

Your killer in the wood/s forest idea…..

Missing posters of young women…tattered old on lampposts etc….suggests return of the killer?

Why has the killer returned….what has made him return? What event? What happened?

Others warn not to wall past there? She is on phone texting or arguing with boyfriend…end of relationship…we need to feel sympathy/empathy for her…it cant just be a woman walking alone at night….we need to know why she is there and we need to like her.

Does she escape, is she killed? Does the boyfriend chase after her, to try and rescue the relationship and is killed trying to save her….and she vows to find his killer or is she accused of his murder, (motive….anger at the break-up/betrayal?)….or sees her dead and vows to find her killer….that the start of the movie?

 

format used to structure and then write script i based the structure of script of this because it went well with my idea for my horror film and I could roughly use us it to build my script .

1)-Normal world…an opening establishing shot of a quiet, peaceful suburban street at night….

-Plot Twist…..we hear shouting and screaming

Cut to Lola, screaming, “Leave me alone” at her boyfriend as she runs down the path/driveway…

 

2) Lola, slows down and now walks along the street, in tears, but trying to compose herself….she plugs her earbuds in?

Camera tracks back, as she faces it and walks

We hear the music from her phone….distantly/muted

We see her look at the forest, or track along with her and see the forest behind….. we need this shot, as geography to show where she is in relation to the scary forest

-Plot Twist…we hear the twig snap in the forest…she turns and looks, suspicious and nervous…she turns her head back to the front

-Alex appears, (seen her from POV), she stops, jumps, scared, (shot front on, from Alex’s POV)….. we cut to over the shoulder or a wider profile shot… nothing is there…she calms down a bit

-Another twig snap!,

She turns

-Camera is where Alex was in front of her and now we see him behind her, looming over her…..that’s the shot that makes us the audience jump!

-His hand rests on her shoulder?

-She screams….Close Up…. Extreme close up of mouth or eyes

-Fade to black

 

3)…we see the trail of blood from his sack of body parts as he drags it along the ground into the woods

Dip to black

Movie Title comes up…
