Just a few ideas.
Italics are stage directionsOpening shot is black, with narration.
Sometimes, when threatened, the human body is capeable of doing inhuman things to preserve its well been.
Open eye efect on camera, as the speach finishes, from hospital looking room, lift arms up, bandaged, like after an accident. Looking around room after looking at hands.But after what ive been through. I know the truth, and the reality is right there in front of me.
looks to corner of room where a hoded man is sitting, looki down, face is obscuredThat guy there, hes the reason im still alive. Because he isnt human, but lets just start from the beginning, im sure this will all seem confusing for an outsider.
eyes close effectThis should take aprox 25-30 seconds.
-----------------------------------------------
Thats a breif intro i thought up, dont know if its anygood, or of any use but hey, an idea is an idea aint it? anyway continueing, this is more to the lines of whats already done.
Play button comes up, like the BBC iplayer click sound, push in effect, and white highlight round background Music starts.
Leg brush past effect, like walking, on a black background. for a few steps.
Black background fades to scenery with walking foreground still on.
Walks, the stops. Camera, zooms out and pans to behind person in one movement to an over shoulder shot.
SORRY BUT WHY DO WE NOT HAVE A NAME YET, SAVES WRITING PERSON EVERYTIME + IT WILL LOOK MORE PROFESSIONAL AND A SCRIPT CAN BE DAFTED. Even though it is only a 2 min clip =P sorry for caps i forgot it was on and i cba to type it out againMAIN looks at traffic light Red man, green light. . . .
To a distorted 'shinigami' shot, from the side. The shot pans up and forwards, like a person standing up and starting to walk. The camera stops at the side of MAIN and does the same as he did, looks to on-coming traffic only a single car in the distance is in veiw, then up at the traffic light Green man. . .
Camera cuts to a shot of the side of the road, showing both MAIN and SHINIGAMI, main takes one step onto the road. SHINIGAMI reachs up with on handplacing the back side of his han on MAIN's chest as if to stop him, and states
'Dont Walk' MAIN turns to see nobody.
First person camera He looks back up at the traffic light still green man, looks to the on-coming traffic. The car is considerabely closer, and just goes straight past the camera, the camera pans, but slower than the car to imtate higher speed.
Screech Noise car, turned to side in middle of road. Blood stain, child laid at side of car. SHINIGAMI hand on shoulder,
'That would have been you'.
Camera, tracks to road, following the blood stain, to reveal the word and title SHINIGAMI in blood.
-----------------------------------------------
This is an idea, which personally, i really like, you may not find it fitting. But this is still early stages, try get all big ideas out i the open ASAP.
I hae an idea, for abit of back story, well. . . When i say backstory, i mean ending, with a twist. Even though this wont be in our footage, itwould be nice to put more research into the film, and give it direction.
As said above, the first passage i wrote, i was thinking that could be the middle of the film, but also shown at the start. Like a Fight Club style thing. But like, have the hospital scene in the middle of the film, well plan it out to be in the middle. The more work that is done on this, the bettr if workout a full film plot. This could well be high marks across the board, just saying.
Also had an idea, of like a snapshot thing. Like, one shot of a reaction, but a still, then an image of the drivers reaction, like a snapshot of ractions. Blargh i dunno, something.
-----------------------------------------------
I thought about maybe an ending, with a twist, *and yes i know ive done ive done this in a weird order* Like maybe, it ends with him, and the shinigami stood on a cliff at night. For some insane reason, maybe they were having a picnic or something,
and their both wearing hoods, important fact. And the main guy says something like
'Who are you?' the shinigami stands up, and walks to the edge of the cliff, , the main follows him and stands directly behind him. Shinigami places his hands on the side of his hood, and pulls it back revealing himself.
'I am you'The main guy falls to his knees, and holds his head with both hands. Then Black and white flashbacks of bits of the film, where hes realising that it was him, oh yeah, i thought maybe the shinigami, could be responsable for a few random deaths here and there i dunno. But yea, it shows instead of the shinigami being responsable, it was actualy him killing the people. He screams, the camera zooms out as the scream goes on, showing he has took his hood down.
Hint Hint he stands up, looks towards the camera, with his eyes closed, looking down. And says simply
'Im Sorry'. Leans backwards. Closing shot on him falling backwards, arm up as if waving goodbye.
-----------------------------------------------
There thats it, my ideas, no doubt ill come up with some stuff later on, but yeah big post for me. Im sure in the tie ive written this smoeone else has probably don it too, Its took me over an hour =D ouch!!.
