New opening sequence plot

We decided to change the plot of our film because we struggled to find actors that fitted the original characters, it follows a similar story line but we've altered it to fit the new younger characters.

The opening sequence of our film begins with an establishing shot of a horizontal pan and ariel shot of Tamworth park, we will be immediately introduced to the Child Collector through flashes during these shots giving hints of who the killer will be. We will then be introduced to a group of teenagers walking towards the park, this will be a horizontal tracking shot of them entering the park but the older version of 'Josh' will stop before he enters as he thinks about the consequences of going in because of something that happened in the past. There is then a shot reverse shot between the group of friends and 'Josh' and they ask him why he isn't coming in. There is then an over the shoulder shot from the point of view of the two female friends where Josh says "i'm not coming in" 

   It then cuts to a flash back night time long shot of an average 17 year old girl called 'Lucy' who is being dragged away by an unidentified figure.

Shot reverse shots are used againn while the conversations between the group and Josh continue to interrogate him, an over the shoulder shot will be used again where Josh claims that “Bad things have happened".

   The film then cuts rapidly to a black flash of twilight pans of a park where a close up shot is then shown of a 10 year old boy and his sister. Lucy will insist on leaving the park because of the urban legend of 'The Child Collector' who was brutally murdered at the playground where they are now. She continues to say that if they don’t leave the park by nightfall then the child collector will appear and collect any wondering children and kill any adults with them.

   The dialogue then fades out where a voiceover saying that he is watching them, giving the audience an idea that something bad will happen to these character later on in the film. The dialogue then fades in to 'Josh' the younger brother saying he rejects this story and thinks his sister has made this plea to get him to leave.  Josh then runs off to carry on playing. 'Lucy' looks frustrated and shots “fine let 'The Child Collector' get you” there is then a voice over of 'The Child Collector' making a threat that he will get Josh like she said.

   There is then a cut to a shot of someone’s back who is swinging on the swing, 'Josh' goes up to him and asks if he can have a go on the swing, 'The Child Collector' lifts his head towards the front wide shot of the camera that shows 'Josh' behind the figure on the swing. The figure turns but we don't see what happens to Josh but instead hear his screams when it cuts to a shot of Lucy about to walk away. She runs hurriedly to where she hears them. Its cuts to a hand held shot by 'Lucy' where you can see the ground as she is running and it’s accompanied by her heavy breathing, this is done to emphasise the panic that she is feeling at this time as she doesn't know what has happened to her brother but knows it may be to do with the fear Child Collector. She asks  'The Child Collector' on the swings looking down at the floor with his hood up where her brother is. There is a slow zoom in and becomes rapid when the male looks to reveal he is wearing a baby mask. 'Lucy' screams and then turns to run however 'The Child Collector' stands up and grabs 'Lucy' by the neck and pulls her to the ground, this is shown through another hand held shot to show the panic of the situation. There is then a close up that moves into an extreme close up to show 'The Child Collector' cutting 'Lucy' and removes his hand away and reveals that she is bleeding the shot is then zoomed out as 'The Child Collector' drags 'Lucy' away by her legs while the camera pans in the opposite direction of where he is dragging her.

   Then a shot is shown of 'The Child Collector' making his up the slide he then goes down the slide laughing creepily. A shot is shown which reveals Josh is hiding within shrubbery with a shocked face after he has just witnessed the murder of his sister, with this an over the shoulder shot is revealed of 'The Child Collector' which then zooms in to show Josh running away in fear.

Fade out back to a close up of the older 'Josh's' face and a voice over of the child collector saying “Time for round two Josh”, leaving the opening with a cliff hanger.
