Planning - The Vision/Plot Idea (#23)

     Hellooo viewers. Today I will be explaining my idea/plot for my two minute film. My two minute film has a horror genre.

    The Idea

    The film is about a girl, Alana, who slacks off in school and waits the last minute to do work, basically a procrastinator. The representation behind the film is the consequences of procrastination. I chose this representation for my film to reach people, mostly students, who procrastinate, pushing them to do the opposite. The "consequence", The Nun's Cousin, is characterized as a figure in all black, who terrorizes Alana for doing work last minute.  I have personally don't procrastinate often, but from experience, doing so has so many consequences. For example, students or people will get a bad report or grade, because they rushed the work or job, trying to meet the deadline. As someone who has gotten a bad grade due to me rushing a last minute assignment, it reflected badly on my overall performance and grade. 

The Plot

    Here is the plot, with timestamps:

1. Alana, who's on her phone, remembering she has work to do. (10 seconds)
2. Alana gets up from her bed and goes to her desk. (5 seconds)
3. Alana gets her computer and workbook and starts working on assignments. (10 seconds)
   
4. Alana puts her head down as she works, slowly dozing off. "Five minutes only," she says before falling asleep. (7 seconds)
5. Here is when the nightmare starts: Alana "wakes up" and the camera cuts to movement behind her, outside in the dark backyard. (5 seconds)
   
6. Over the shoulder shot of Alana looking behind her, confused. She looks away, brushing it off and the movement happens again, so the she continues to look back as it happens many times. (20 seconds) As she continues to look back she gets more scared and worried.
7. Alana says, "What is going on?" As she says that, the movement, being The Nun's Cousin, becomes more apparent and Alana panics getting getting her things. (5 seconds)
8. As she is packing up, The Nun's Cousin, makes their way inside, slowly as the lights flickers. (5 seconds)
9. Alana rushes to the door, dropping a few things on the way, as The Nun's Cousin continues to make it towards her. The Nun's Cousin is only moves when the flickering lights, are off. (15 seconds)
10. Alana makes it to the front door but before she makes it out the Nun's Cousin is behind her. The nightmare ends here and she wakes up, for real this time. Alana looks around.  (7 seconds)
11. Alana gets up from her chair and checks around outside, in the backyard, seeing nothing. (10 seconds)
12. Alana comes back inside and continues her work, and eventually puts her head down, falling asleep. (10 seconds)
13. As she is asleep, the lights flicker and the figure shows up behind her. (5 seconds)

The end.

    The overall time added up is 1:54. Now just to clarify this is only a sketch of the timestamps, so the time of 1:54 may or may not be exact to the final product.
