Shotlist

1. Fade from black to production titles. The titles are de-saturated and grainy and occur as the sound track features the crackling of the vinyl record.
2. Reflective Media
3. Red moon Pictures
4. Long distance shot of Gramophone sitting on a small table at the end of a small hallway. The camera tracks forward slightly.
5. Extreme close-up of the Gramophone needle on the vinyl as the record turns. Sound bridge of cutlery sounds.
6. Shot above dinner table, Father is out of focus and close to the camera at close up distance, and the son is at medium shot distance at the other side of the table. The focus pulls from the son to the father as the father asks ‘What’s that?’ referring to the music. A quick flicker of the lights occurs in the background.
7. Reaction shot of the father mid-way through turning his head from the last shot and looking just above the viewpoint of the camera at close-up distance.
8. Aerial shot of the two characters at the table, with the light bulb in view, flickering out.
9. Quick shot of the son doing a similar thing to the dad before the room plunges into darkness as the lights finally go out.
10. Pitch Black. He tells his son to stay where he is. Sounds of the father moving through the kitchen e.g. footsteps and opening a draw as the father takes out the torch.
11. Low angle shot of the father as the torch turns on and illuminates the area slightly. He starts to lift the torch.
12. Medium shot of the father as he turns around to face the dining table and starts to point the torch towards the general of the camera.
13. Point of view shot where the torch is pointed directly at the son’s chair, which is now empty.
14. Close up of the father’s face, demonstrating his reaction. He starts to move out of shot as the shot fades to black and bridges sounds of footsteps on floorboards.
15. The father calls his son’s name, and this audio bridges over the next couple of shots. Fades from black to close up of his feet stepping across the floorboards. Fades back to black.
16. Fades from black to a shot of a door from within a dark room as the torch peers around the corner and gets pointed directly at the camera and causes a lens flare. Fades back to black.
17. Sound bridge of the words ‘Daddy, I’m scared’ transition into the shot. Fades from black to a medium shot of the dad’s back as he walks slowly down the hallway from low angle (almost point of view from the son). He steps into shot, his feet obscuring the view.
18. Medium close-up shot from behind the father as he turns around and starts to point the torch towards the direction of the camera / Medium close-up shot of the dad facing the camera. The Dad starts to turn and point the torch at the son, bringing some of the son’s silhouette into light.
19. Point of View shot of the father lifting the torch to his son’s face to reveal…wait for it…DEMON FACE! Orchestral swell and sharp dramatic audio.
20. Light falls and the screen goes pitch black and goes silent.
