Opening Scene Narration - Miss Miller

Our narrative starts with a couple of mid shots which will be linked, of a flashback of a little boy on a swing at the park and his there alone, the credits will be shown on top of the image. This will be filtered in black and white, combined with a bright lighting state to show that this a flashback. But in the first few frames, there would be no one on the swing but the swing moving by itself. With a dramatic entrance because the audience were used to not seeing anyone on the swing, the little boy appears positioned in the middle and is rocking on the swing, the audience will hear eerie music within the background. Behind this whole flashback there will be a non diegetic sound of a sort of humming eerie noise creating enigma in the audience. included with this sound, there will be a non-diegetic sound of children laughing and playing, also with a dominant off screen dialogue of a child saying " come out and play with me" which gradually gets louder and louder.

Suddenly, there will be a jump cut zooming out from the antagonists forehead as he is shown laying down in the middle of the road, with his eyes closed. The lighting will differ from the bright lighting shown in the flashback and it'll change to be a very low-key dark lighting as the setting is at night. This will be the lighting for the rest of the thriller. The boy will be wearing dark, ragged clothing and the iconography which is a mask will be besides him on the road. Behind this frame will be an eerie non-diegetic soundtrack to create a mysterious atmosphere whilst we see the antagonist. A straight cut will take place to show a two shot of two girls arriving at a bus stop drunk. The sounds the audience will hear will be the normal, parallel noises of the street e.g vehicles driving past, distant voices which will emphasise the location that they're at. Also they'll be diegetic sound as the dialogue the girls will be discussing how they're getting home that evening at the bus stop. After finally deciding on walking home instead of waiting for the bus, they are followed by a panning shot showing them walking down the pavement until they suddenly stop as Josie's Phone rings. After a straight cut will happen when the girls are shot through a mid shot at the top of the road bickering as Shona wants to carry on walking but Josie is on the phone. A over shoulder shot from Josie's shoulder will happen after to show Shona's frustration through her facial expressions and body language and then further down the antagonists body which will be hardly focused on. Behind this will be an eerie suspense non-diegetic soundtrack that will gradually become louder when shona decides to leave her friend as she spots the antagonist laying on the floor. From a point of view shot, Shona will begin to start walking towards the boys body and the editing will be slowed down as she gets closer to create tension and suspense. The sound that would be heard in this frame would be an eerie, heart beat symbolic sound track which will occur representing her fate. After this a shallow focus will focus of Josie who is talking on the phone but behind her Shona is walking towards the antagonist, the iconography used in this will be the phone and mask which is laying besides the antagonist still. Instantly, a jump cut will go to show an extreme close up of the antagonist waking up will be edited very fast and also a non-diegetic alerting sound will be heard to emphasise his wake. Next an off screen sound will be heard of a distressed scream which sounds to be a girl whilst Josie is on the phone which will be shot in a mid shot. After a reaction shot, an over shoulder shot will show that she has turned around to find her laying on the floor dead. Quickly hanging up her phone, the panning shot will follow her running towards her friend who's on the floor dead panicking as she goes to check on her. At this point the only sounds we will hear is the dialogue from Josie as she is horrified about what she has just seen. Meanwhile, as she is crouching down next to her friend, Shona rises slightly and coughs out blood which will be shot as a close up so the audience can see the blood being shown. An eerie sound will be heard whist this happens and then Josie decides to get up and run away from the scene as she is traumatised from the horror she has just witnessed. 

Subsequently a panning shot will show Josie entering the Forest entrance which will quickly switch to a hand held shot of Josie's face showing her facial expressions. After another hand held shot will show Josie's feet running through the forest. Behind this the sound that would be hear would be of an eerie, parallel soundtrack of her heavily breathing whilst running to show realism. As she is running the editing will be fast until she trips and falls onto her knees in the forest, as this happens the eerie music that was heard before will quieten down as she looks down on the floor. Then from a low- angle this shot will be slowly edited as she slowly looks up to see the antagonist who's further away wearing a mask in her way. Afterwards a straight cut will show a point of view show from the antagonists perspective through his mask as he walks forward and stares at the girl on the floor. This will be edited slowly and an alerting,screechy non-diegetic sound will occur, occupied with the girl screaming as she looks up to see that its the antagonist who is in her way. To conclude the whole thriller, a fade will be seen as the screen fades to black to show that it is the end of the opening thriller scene.
