The opening for our film will include a "news reporter" style which is going to be based around the plot of investigating a mental hospital. The film starts which a close up that shows a news reporter checking his emails and sees an email from a neighbor of the mental hospital. This email then gives information to our main character about the mental hospital and the supposed "sounds" coming from within. After reading the email our character knows there is no time to waste and quickly calls his camera-man and explains. While on the phone we will use quick cuts that are all close-ups and use the diegetic sound of a thunderstorm outside to give a sense of danger without even leaving our main character's house. The next scene shows a forest with a road cutting through. We will use an over the shoulder shot to show our news reporter standing on the side of the road waiting for his camera-man to arrive. The rain is still continuing. Upon arrival on the camera-man in the news van we here a thunder strike which is an audio cue that cuts to the next scene which is showing a broken window and a dimly lit hallway that has some flashing lights with an irregular pattern. The pair climb through the broken window and head down the creaky hallway. As they enter we will add in creepy music, creaky floorboards, rain and thunder and a howling wind flowing through the hospital. The next scene shows the camera-man and the news reporter setting up the shot they want to get. This scene will be shot with a high angle wide, close-ups and mid shots. After the set up of the camera and microphone is complete we then switch into the camera-mans POV except it is through the lens of his camera and it shows the news reporter in the classic news style we all know. (mid shot) Throughout this scene we have the new reporter warming up and practicing his lines. The reason why we have kept this in the story is to show more realism because the scene is technically scripted however appears not to be. As this is all going on we can slowly see a figure walk past the news reporter in the background and the news reporter is unaware. As the scene progresses we see this figure move closer to our news reporter and the music gets more intense. As the music builds suddenly the power in the hospital shuts off and all the light turns off. The music dies down and all we hear is some footsteps slowly getting louder. The camera shot then turns to night vision and we see the mentally ill man standing right behind our news reporter and a low bass hit comes in. Then the title of the movie appears.
