Opening sequence idea 2 (lockdown lessons)

 Set at a campsite (log cabin) or abandoned site (building site)

It’s late in the evening and the boys are drinking and listening to music laughing, they get a text to come home as it’s late and they get into the car

One is very drunk and can’t drive so the learner driver says he can drive everyone home and that they done need to call a cab

There will be a long shot and a pause of silence to foreshadow the danger that will inevitably occur

They agree and get into the car

There is a long shot and medium shot of the two boys helping their drunk friend into the car

As the driver gets in, their is a shot that follows him through into the car and pans from the passenger seat back to his face

Close up of the drivers face to show visible confusion to how to drive the car, SRS, eye-line match cut

He starts the car and it shrieks forward, the camera who’ll start at the front lines and cut to the front wheels and track it for a short distance and then tilt up and pan with the car out of the campsite

The boys will be in the car laughing to the music while one is practically unconscious.

Loud music with close ups of the cars steering wheel, radio, dash mirror and close ups of the boys having a good time. This adds tension as the fast ish paced cuts give unnaturally close detail making the audience uncomfortable.

Am animal, not clear to identify, will run In front of the car and cause the driver to swerve, which topples the car into a ditch/ crash into a tree or bush (whichever is easier to shoot)

Hand held shot in the car which is very unsteady to show danger

The music will still be playing but fade slightly as the screen switches shots between the campfire at the camp and the bottles of beer and the boys who have cut heads and bleeding noses (unconscious and dead)

Can either fade into a black screen or end with the mum calling the phone.
