IDEA 3:

Last semester my final photography project was based on a
narrative I wrote for a film, that I never ended up making!
My idea is to tighten up the narrative and work on the
visual representation of the peice through video.
The photos taken were so strong that it further inspired me
to shoot the film!

This will in some respect be technically challenging for me
if I want to film in the dark, out in the middle of nowhere.


Script:

Scene 1: /The bottom of a swamp in Pickwick Tennessee/
Clay (kneeling) down to wash his hands in the water/
Clay (kneeling) starts tearing pieces of his skin off his arms and face.
(Latex make up and paint for fake skin)
Camera circles around Clay (standing) to get a
complete view of the swamp surroundings/

Scene 2: /Cemetery in the middle of the woods/

/Camera view rises out of a grave,
passes two other tombstones through the woods
and heads straight for Clay,
camera runs straight into him.
He sticks his chest out,
as if he was overpowered by some unknown force,
picks up a shovel that’s stuck in the mud next to him
and heads down a path for the woods/
Camera angle shows the side of his face (covered in blood)/

Scene 3: /Clay disappears into the woods.
He comes to an opening and looks towards the graveyard,
then walks towards a tombstone/

Scene 4: /He starts digging up the grave

Scene 5: /He sticks his arm in the dirt and starts
pulling bones out/ stuffing them into his bag one by one.

Scene 6: /He throws the brown bag over his shoulder
and starts walking towards the opposite end of the woods.

Scene 7: /Marion is laying on a concrete slab (Dead)
wearing a white dress, with her arms spread out.
(Camera rises up from Marion’s view to Clay standing
next to her with the bag of bones.)
Clay starts laying the bones on top of and all around her.
/Clay picks up the cup of blood that’s sitting
next to her and pours it on her forehead

Scene 8: /Clay walks back towards the woods and
continues to dig up the next grave.
He repeats the bone bagging and walks back towards Marion.
After he digs the last grave, he lays the last skull next
to Marion. She awakes from the dead and her and Clay walk
off into the woods together.
