DEFACED – SCRIPT
[Opens with a long shot of the entrance to the
mental asylum. The shot alternates between long shots and medium shots of the
asylum corridors, with the alternates between the shots of LILLY in the
corridors. The effect of Sepia is used to show the alternate time periods and
the diegetic sound effect of matches being stuck is used to show the change in
scenes. It then moves to a medium shot of Lilly on the floor of a room, with
drawings surrounding her. It changes to a medium close up of her hands lighting
matches and of her blowing them out. The camera cuts to a close up of the match
as its being struck; the camera then pans down as the match falls to the ground
into a puddle of petrol. It then cuts to a blurred point of view shot of the corridor
where patients are running with the sounds of screaming echoed in the
background. The camera cuts to a medium low shot of a patient sitting against
the wall, blood dripping from his head and arm where he has been attacked. The
shot alternates between the shot of him and a medium two shot of the patient
and someone else’s legs. The camera cuts and pans down to a staircase where
there is a dead patient laying with a pool of blood under her head, with shoe
marks on her face. It then cuts to a low medium shot of LILLY in the field
running with three other patients, with the sound of heavy breathing in
parallel to the sound of sirens in the background.]
Title
Sequence – IN A VILLAGE
[The scene opens with a medium long shot of a
car moving down a drive way. It cuts to CHARLOTTE who is slowly reading
a newspaper, and though we cannot hear her speaking we know from her expression
that she is concerned]
CHARLOTTE [mumbles looking off out the window] …And
it was burnt down one year ago, only a few patients escaped and were never
found.
[The camera pans and shows the other group members;
MARK, who is sat next to CHARLOTTE driving and SARAH and LEWIS in the back
holding hands whilst giggling under their breathes.
LEWIS [holding SARAH’S hand, leans in to her] Ooh,
and we’re staying the night nearby, scary…
[SARAH looking over at LEWIS, smiling, LEWIS leans
in and tickles her, they both laugh]
[The camera cuts to a medium shot of the car
driving then quickly cuts to a low angle medium shot of the trees and road
ahead of them before returning to the car. There is a slight slow motion to
this shot as if to emphases the happiness of the situation. It then cuts to a
medium two shot of the couple holding hands and then cuts to a close up of the
hands. It quickly cuts to a close up of MARKS driving; his expression is
slightly confused, similar to that of CHARLOTTE.]
Title Sequence – THERE IS A SECRET
[There is a high angle long shot of the village. It
then cuts to a medium shot of the car parking. CHARLOTTE is the first to emerge
from the car. There is a medium close up on her face and the camera pans as she
looks around.]
CHARLOTTE [Point of view shot of the park square]: Wow,
its quiet…
[Close up on the swing as it moves back and forth overlapped with the
diegetic sound of a rusty swing]
MARK [Over the shoulder shot of CHARLOTTE looking
off at the park, whilst MARK focuses on something in the distance, again MARK
looks confused as if he has been there before]: You’re telling me…Charlotte, do
you know anything about this place?
[Before CHARLOTTE can speak SARAH interrupts her]
SARAH [Cuts to a medium shot of her holding hands
with LEWIS as she emerges from the car. Camera pans as she moves with LEWIS,
bags in hand.] : I think
it looks cute. [It then cuts to a wide shot of the group moving towards the
B&B through the park] Let’s go and get our room…
[Close up of B&B sign and then darkness. It
then cuts to a medium shot of LEWIS and SARAH in the bedroom of the B&B.
LEWIS is standing behind Sarah with his arms wrapped around her. They then move
so that LEWIS is facing her sideways to the camera.]
[Cuts to a medium shot of MARK standing
outside of a caravan, alternating between him and the door. The shot of the
door is a medium shot. As the door opens there is a medium shot of the gap in
the door, revealing small streams of light. It cuts between scenes of MARK
slowly walking into and down the corridor of the caravan. There is a focusing
on the surroundings to display the idea of something forgotten. There is
suddenly a fast paced cut of a negative image which trembles into the next cut
of what appears to be MARK, dressed in a white t-shirt, sitting in the corner
of the caravan hall, head buried in his knees, surrounded by bloody handprints,
leaves and puddles. MARK reaches for the blood in a close up, as if he believes
he is in a dream. There is then a distorted extreme close up of MARK’S finger
with blood on it, which returns back to normal, MARK backs away in fright]
MARK [Medium shot of MARK as he looks at the double
of himself. MARK is supposed to portray a look of confusion as if he believes
he has gone mad.] : Hello?!
Are you alright?
[There is no reply from the double MARK. Shot
changes to a high angle medium shot of double MARK.]
DOUBLE MARK [rocking back and forth. His speech is
fast and mumbled. Sometimes looks around him quickly, paranoid]: No more faces, no more faces
[It then cuts to medium shot of the double MARK
looking up at MARK. MARK then crouches down in an over the shoulder medium
shot.]
MARK [MARK stretches out his arm to touch double
MARK]: What the
hell is this, how can you be me? [Cuts to a close up of double MARKS face as
he cries out as if in pain, backing quickly into the corner of the caravan]
DOUBLE MARK [panicked and scared, clenching his
arms, then turns to MARK in moment of suspense]: Leave
now, you shouldn’t have come here, RUN! [MARK runs from the caravan as the double of MARK
screams]
Title Sequence: THIS FALL
[Cuts to LEWIS opening the door.]
LEWIS [hushed tone]: Sarah, are you okay?
[There is a medium shot of SARAH looking out of the window. LEWIS moves closer
towards her, and puts his hand on her shoulder.]
LEWIS
[slightly concerned]: Sarah?
[The camera shows SARAH with blood on her neck and
the camera pans down to show a knife in her hand. The scene then changes to a
shot of MARK and CHARLOTTE talking to one another in a rushed manner.]
CHARLOTTE [Scared]: I thought I saw someone…there was
someone behind you.
Title Sequence: FOUR FRIENDS ARE UNMASKED
[Shot shifts to MARK and the fake LEWIS fighting.
There is a medium shot of the two with knifes at each other’s throats. The
cutting rating is fast as the scene alternates between the fight and CHARLOTTE
running.]
MARK [voice over]: Why are they doing this to us?!
It the cuts to LEWIS tied up with blood on his
wrists screaming for help and the shadowy figure in the background with an axe.
Cuts to LEWIS and MARK on the floor fighting then shifts to a quiet scene with
CHARLOTTE out of breathe looking around with a camera.]
CHARLOTTE [scared and out of breath]: Is someone there?! Mark? Lewis?
[Changes to a medium shot of CHARTLOTTE with hands
around her waist then quickly cuts to her on the floor being dragged away. Ends
with her screaming as her eyes stares off into the camera.]
