Developed Step by step outline

This post is the new run down for our opening sequence using the feedback we received from Mike and Matt and added them into the idea to make it flow nicer.

1. Cassette tape player throughout the scene (Maybe Jazz music whether we can get hold of free jazz music) – the camera has an ECU, of the play button being pressed by an anonymous hand. 

2. tape continues – Fades from black to show a CU a bucket full of water with droplets slowly falling into it. With a bloody wet towel falling over the side. 

3. A depth of field shot showing some rusted and bloody torture tools on the wall. 

4. Shot of hand with blood dripping down with bruised knuckles with tied up hands (with the non-diegetic sound of the punches being thrown).

5. Dolly shot from behind the villain mentally beating up the victim in the chair pulling away to reveal the container in its full and seeing blood splatters appear from the left and right.

6. One powerful brut punch sends the chair on its side with a loud thump and scream. (Preferably a CU) shot of the face of the victim hitting the floor in slow motion with the non-diegetic sound of ringing in the ears. 

7. The villain walks over to a table, where he drops a bloody pair of knuckle dusters on a table, where he goes to pick up a white handkerchief to wipe down his hands from a low angle shot. 

8. The villain proceeds to look up into a completely cracked mirror (around the mirror there are lots of pictures of different people with pins all leading towards the to the mirror where he sees his reflection and slowly starts to reveal a subtle but demonic smile (for example using the victim’s blood to create an over exaggerated smile, accompanied with a laugh. 

9. We see that one of the victim’s hands has. Slipped free from his restraint he desperately tries to undo his other hand while the villain doesn’t notice. The camera will have the hands in the bottom right of the screen in the foreground and the top left but blurry you can see the villain looking into the mirror.

10. The villain grabs a mouldy glass on the side of his table and proceeds to pour straight vodka into the glass.

11. He then proceeds to pick it up and shot it back while squinting into the mirror, with a sort of disgust face.

12. Using an ECU, you can see a droplet fall down his face, and once it falls off his chin the camera will cut to show another drop of water falling into the bucket.

13. The victim grabs the villain’s foot to pull him down to the floor.

14. The villain Smashes his head on the floor of the container with the hood falling and revealing his face to the audience.

15. There is a moment where the victim and the villain make eye contact and the victim looks so shocked as if he knows the villain.

16. Through the top of the villains head we see blood start to fall from his head with a massive gouge, when it trickles down his face, he goes to touch it when it stings from them vodka that fell on his hands and sees the blood on his hands.

17. He sees this and looks up back at the victim and kicks him in the face sending him back down.

18. The victim tries to stand up but struggles from how weak he is but proceeds to get onto his feet.

19. The Villain is already standing up again with his knuckle dusters at his aid, he swings at the victim.

20. The victim doges and uses the rope from before to take him out from his legs which results in a success for him.

21. He drops the rope and runs for the front of the container banging on it and screaming for help.

22. The camera cuts back to the bucket full of water where we see a hand reach into the shot and picks up the bloody towel and dunks it in the water.

23. The shot will be front on from the victim when we quickly see the villain whip the towel around his mouth and gag him with it and tries to also grab him from the neck to restrain him again.

24. The Victim pushes back against the wall of the container and the villain trips up and falls.

25. Both start groaning on the floor in agony holding parts of their body that are in true pain, the victim turns over and notices an oddly shaped black bag shoved beneath the table.

26. The victim squirms over and starts to unzip the bag. Until he notices a hoard of money stashed within, again while looking at this He has a shocked look on his face as if he knows why the money is there.

27. This is interrupted by the villain’s hand pulling the victim back over where from a low angle shot, with a bloody face with his fist up with a torture tool now in his hand the demonic blood smile he had is now all smudged.

28. He takes a strike at the victim, but he rolls out of the way by the time it reaches the floor.

29. The victim pushes himself off the floor again whilst holding his hip and uses the table as support.

30. He spots the Knuckle dusters that have been left on the side and decides to use it to his own advantage.
 

31. The Victim grabs the villain by the arm and turns him around to deliver one big striking blow to the face, which sends blood splattering at the mirror and knocks the villain out cold.

32. He turns to look at the mirror where he stares at himself for a moment like he can’t believe what he has just done.

33. The camera will go into a high angle shot where the camera will move upward to show the villain knocked out on the floor.

34. Th victim looks back towards the money and limps over to it.

35. He goes to pick it up while still groaning in pain, he zips it up and throws it over his shoulder.

36. The victim then goes over to the knocked-out villain and takes off his hoodie, to wear it for himself. 

37. The victim puts it on and takes one last look at the villain and smiles with a little chuckle to go with it. 

38. He turns back and walks to the front of the container and takes one big breath.

39. He slowly but with all his strength pushes the door open.

40. An over the shoulder shot from the villain when he is on the floor unconscious as the door opens and the light exposure takes over the shot to then reveal the title of the film.
