Group exercise

We were put into groups last week. the group member i am working with are: Joeley Beckett, Aaron....., Stella......, Robin...... and rob........  (the dots mean i don't know their second names) we had a group meeting yesterday about the brief we were given which was to: write a short 2 minute film idea on the subject of uncanny, the film must involve fire and spurting blood. this is our film idea

The setting is a girl of 18’s room at night, the only light source are some fairy lights (and this is established by a l/s of the room with the girl asleep?????). M/S of girl’s face and shoulders as she wakes up peacefully. The reason she awakens is she can hear a noise coming from her mirror. The girl gets up and approaches the mirror, as seen pov from mirror’s perspective. The camera tracks up her body edited with flashes of muddy identical feet, hands and eventually her face. There is something wrong with the way the muddy version’s extremities are positioned. Over the shoulder shot of the girl, we see her muddy doppelganger in the mirror. Everything is exactly as it is in the girl’s world but in the mirror world everything around the doppelganger is on fire but she doesn’t seem alarmed. She mirrors the girl exactly but with odd, jerky movements. From an aerial shot we see the girl reach toward the mirror and from a side view we see the doppelganger mirror her but with jerky movement, as if something isn’t quite right in the mirrorverse. When the girls hand connects with the mirror, the surface ripples and the girl withdraws her hand quickly in shock. A c/u of the mirror reveals mirrorverse girl’s face, lighting in the mirror flickers over her face reflected from the fire around her. Her mouth opens in a silent scream. Jump cut to the reverse shot of the girl whose face becomes splattered with blood and reverse shot to the mirrorverse girls whose mouth remains open whilst blood pours down her chin. A shot from over the girls shoulder as she turns her head away from the mirror to wipe the blood from her face reveals the mirrorverse her to be moving independently of her origin. She moves jerkily toward the mirror. Only the audience can see her moving as the protagonist is facing away from the mirror. Cut to a stop trick of the mirror which shows the mirror then suddenly a hand reaching through it. The stop - trick is to create a sense of unreal speed and jerkiness from the mirrorverse self as she tries to get through the mirror to grab her counterpart. C/U of the girl gasping for breath and the dirty fingernails of the mirrorverse self marking her neck. Cut back to first m/s of girl’s face and shoulders that's shown as she awakens but this time with a gasp instead of peacefully, revealing her still marked neck.

END.
