Use of Shots

At the start of the sequence, we used an establishing shot of the graveyard. This was done to exemplify the mysterious location used for our horror title film sequence. We also used low angle low angle shots to emphasize the vulnereability of the female character.

Film Script

Lillith

By Vanessa Kintu

Ext/day: Graveyard

Several tracking shots showing the angel statues as the titles fade in. Wide shot of Lillith walking through the graveyard.

LILLITH (V.O)

When we are young we are read books and told stories which speak of love magic and wonder. We’re made to believe that these things exist in the real world; princesses with long flowing hair, charming princes, fairies, elves, pixies.

Lillith stops and kneels in front of her brother’s grave.

LILLITH (V.O) (CONT’D)

No one talks about the dark creatures out there, the ones who posses the ability to come into your life one ordinary day and take away everything you ever cared for.

Ext/day: University garden.

Fade to Lillith’s brother sitting on a bench studying.

LILLITH (V.O) (CONT’D)

No loving parent tells the children stories about the demons that lurk in the dark corners of the world.

Wide shot of the brother sitting on the bench and the demon standing behind him. Point of view shot of the brother’s back as the demon moves towards him. The brother hears something and turns around only to be met with emptiness. He turns back confuse and gasps as he sees the demon standing in front of him.

LILITH (V.O) (CONT’D)

Nevertheless, I know that it is these creatures that are real, I know because a year ago my brother was murdered by one of them.

The demon grabs her brother by the throat and lifts him up into the air.

LILLITH (V.O) (CONT’D)

And so I set about to write my own story, perhaps more a horror story than a fairytale, but I will write the truth about these creatures.

The demon throws her brother across the garden, he hits the wall and falls dead.

LILLITH (V.O) (CONT’D)

The dangers of knowing their existence, the fears of possessing their powers and the strength it takes to defeat them.

Location Shots

 These are the shots of our graveyard scene it is in Abney park cemetery in Stoke Newington. Which is a good location as it provides us with all the elements of a peaceful but slightly eerie place. This is where all the scenes of the sequence took place we were a little restrained with filming as we did not want to show any gravestone as people may be offended.

 This is the location for the second part of our film which is in the garden for our college. It is a nice area to do our murder scene as it was calm and peaceful but also empty to show that the 'demon' can appear anywhere at any time to do their evil work. It also helped that we could use the wall an object to slam somebody into.
