Group Minuets

Minuets No.1: 12TH JANUARY 2011

we have decided that the location for the horror film is to be around Wem

three masked people running down a street with guns and one of them gets shot and then the other two go and burry the dead with a black shot and the sound of the shovels being used and the grave being dug the sounds will be enhanced then the camera will cut forward two weeks and the grave will be their and the camera follows the other two masked people running from the cops and it will move back to the grave and the grave will be gone and be replaced by a hole and then the camera will go for a high angle shot and their will be no body in the grave.

TREATMENT

The Story-line is:

Starts with a split screen of the 2 men smartly dressed, 1 sat with his briefcase waiting for a phone call in the Town Hall and the second parking up in a silver car pulling his phone out. After the call has been made both start walking along Wem High-street towards The Reck, the camera being fixed on the briefcase using a split screen on both case's. Then one man sits on the bench waiting for the other, 5 mins later the other man sits next to the first man and they swap over the two briefcase's and they walk off and then slowly fade to black slow motion both of them walking in opposite directions from the bench as the screen gets darker.
