Original opening sequence plot

Media opening sequence plot (original)

   The opening sequence of our film shows an establishing shot of a man called Josh asking his wife Sally to leave the park and go home however she is adamant to leave as she says “stop being scared of park Josh,  the kids are having fun”

  It then cuts to a flash back night time shot of an average 17 year old boy who is Josh’s older brother Tom(this flash back was from the past when Josh was 10 years old), who is being dragged away by an unidentified figure.  

   It then cuts back to present where there is a medium close up of his face showing a shocked and fearful expression and josh replies “you know I don’t like to talk about my childhood”

   The film then cuts again rapidly to a flash back of twilight pans of a park where a close up shot is then shown of 10 year Josh and his older brother Tom. There is then a shot of  other families leaving the park, the older brother then talks about an urban legend of THE CHILD COLLECTOR who haunts the park where they are now, taking young children. He 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 “little did they know I was already there watching them”. The dialogue then fades in to Josh the younger brother saying he rejects this story and thinks his brother has made this plea to get him to leave.  Josh then runs off to carry on playing. Tom looks frustrated and shouts “fine let THE CHILD COLLECTOR get you” he then hears a beep from his phone which is a text message from an unidentified number which reads “I WILL”.

There is then a cut to a shot of someone’s back who is swinging on the swing, young josh reaches up to tap him on the shoulder and says “can I have a go on the swing” then male slowly turns around but we don’t see his face.  

   It then cuts to a shot of Toms scared face who is looking around for his brother and then hears a scream. Tom runs to where he hears the scream expecting to see Josh but sees a man on the swings looking down at the floor with his hood up. There is a slow zoom in and becomes rapid to a medium close up when the male looks to reveal he is wearing a baby mask. Tom screams and then turns to run however THE CHILD COLLECTOR stands up and grabs Tom by the neck and pulls him to the ground before saying “I told you so”. He then kills him by bashing his head with a rock and drags him away. A shot is shown which reveals Josh is hiding within shrubbery with a shocked face.   

   Then a shot is shown of THE CHILD COLLECTOR making his way over to the slide he then goes down the slide laughing creepily, with this Josh we see starts to run away and THE CHILD COLLETOR turns his head.
