Establishing shot's- Opening shot of a Celtic pagan ritual
of ring leader taking spirits/memories out of his body and placing them in the box. The ring leader is covered in dirt and grime, his hair is grey and his hands are wrapped in cloth. This
will be filmed on a beach in dusk/night time. The scene will be lit by torches
which will be in shot, there will be 7/8 people crowding around a central fire
and a stone altar. The people will be wearing black cloaks and you will never
see their faces, the only face that is seen is the ring leader. After the
ritual is complete the ringleader buries the box in the forest.
The music starts- There is a shot of a hunter from olden
times, close up on his eyes, he is hunting with a bow and his dog is running with him. He is dressed in old green cloth. Dirt lines his face and he is skinny, as if he never has enough to eat. The dog sniffs out something in the ground,
the hunter investigates and digs up the box. When he opens it there is a close
up of his pupils dilating and a glow from the box. This is when the chorus of memories will kick in. This will act as a sound motif as every time it is heard the character with the box will appear to have a terrifying vision. He then begins to go crazy,
eyes turn black (using black contact lenses) and we can do several close ups, hands tightening on his bow, vicious teeth, a close up of his eyes and the bridge of his nose as he takes deep breaths. His head begins to move frantically from side to side and there are flashes all around him, his head moves as if he is trying to follow the flashes. He grabs his head and falls to his knees, the flashes continue. Jump cut to the hunter just lying in the dirt, eyes closed. He looks like he has been there for a while. He opens his eyes, they have returned to normal. Cut to the box, out of focus, the hunter in the background in focus, he sees the box, focus pull onto the box. Cut and the hunter is throwing the box into the sea. Long, wide shot, blurry, the hunter is just a silhouette, a shadow of his former self almost.
Th next shot we see is of an older style fisher man. Close up on his eyes. He is dressed in a thick woollen jumper and a woollen hat. He is pulling in a net from over the side of a rock wall. Cut to him going through the contents of the net. He comes across the box. Wipes seaweed off of it. He slowly lifts the lid open and takes a peek inside. The same glow as before. His hands fly to his eyes, he covers them with the palms of his hands. When he pulls them away to scream silently, we can see that his eyes have changed too. He falls onto his back from his kneeling position and passes out. Cut to him carrying the box wrapped in old cloth along the beach. He digs a hole in the sand with his hands and buries the box.
The next shot is of a 70's young man on a beach with a metal
detector. Close up on his eyes. He finds the buried box and opens it but this time there is a
different effect of the spirit entering his body from the box, similar to that from the start when it was originally put into the box. Shot of him at
home in dark room nothing but the tv for light as video of OKS is on the tv, he
sits lifeless in the chair. Next shot he is going into the woods with a shovel
and digs a big hole and climbs in. He then lies down with the box. It is now that we see that his eyes have also changed. The camera
then changes to a shot of the original ring leader standing over the grave
filling it in. The song ends as there is a shot from the man in the graves view
of the dirt covering him over.
Hope this is enough to give you a good idea of how we want
this video to go and what we are trying to do.
