The Unseen

Fade in:

Ext. South East London Day

The whole area, from top to bottom for a second

Establish shot of a house

Mise-en-scene of the bedroom low key lighting

Young Boy sleeping in bed

Alarm goes off, close up of the alarm and a mid shot of the boy terrified jumping out of his bed

Close up shot of the clock, it is 4’o clock in the morning, then the camera panning around the room for a couple of seconds

Then zooms up to the alarm, it says alarm set for 6’o clock

Fade out

Cuts to a boy being beaten up in juvenile detention

The guards rush in and restrict the boys who are attacking the young boy

Low angle shot is used; you can only see the guard’s feet as they run towards the fight

Cuts back to boy in bedroom he awakens from his dream petrified he runs and turns the tungsten light back on.

He stands in the middle of the room; a high camera angle is used

Then an eye line shoot is used and it is 6.15 the alarm did not go of

A Dutch camera angle is used to represent his confusion; the camera zooms out of the room

The boy gets up and searches each of the rooms in his house; each shot of him in the rooms are full shots

The boy goes down the stairs into his kitchen; he can hear noises coming from his kitchen the door are closed

Non diegetic sound is being used hear to create an enigma and an eerie and tense scene

The camera angle used is a point of view of him looking at the door, then a close up of him about to turn the handle on the door

Cuts away
The music stops

Then the music heightens to its peak and the boy enters the kitchen, but nothing is there.

He stares out of the kitchen window; he see’s nothing it is completely dark the camera pans and tilts for about a couple of seconds scanning the garden

He still sees nothing

Then the security light comes on non diegetic sound to create a mystifying mood

A figure runs through the garden the camera pans to follow it

The boy with fear runs up to his bedroom diegetic sound and hides in his room

He turns off the light and slightly opens his blinds

The camera angle used is a wide shot and the camera pans and tilts

Then an over the shoulder shot is used to see what the young boy can see in the garden

A selective focus shot is used and the security light suddenly turns of.

Extreme close up of the boys face, then the light comes back on, he see’s the same figure running through the garden

Paralysed with fear he remains still and then a two shot camera angle is used from behind with another figure lurking in the background.

A bird’s eye camera angle is used

The second figure rushes towards the protagonist

Lights go out

  1. Wonderful understanding of key terms, but you don't need to use these in a script. A solid 5, well done!
    Great understanding of thriller.
