Branded Script- FIRST IDEA

Branded Script
The first shot is a shot of rain pouring down a barred window, with lightning flashing.
The rain creates a gloomy effect by using pathetic fallacy.
The camera then pans across to depict newspaper cuttings on the wall.
One reads; "Laverick's wife and children die in horrific mansion fire." and another; "David Cameron lets Laverick arsonists walk free." These newspaper cuttings provide an insight into the background of the character of Laverick, and gives a clue as to his motives later in the film.
After showing different newspaper cuttings the camera then shows the audience pictures of people looking happy, some with a red cross through. Images then flash up on the screen showing bloody, dead bodies, which then cut back to the crossed out images. This intercutting makes the audience feel nervous, by using a dramatic effect of both editing and sound. All of the images of these photos will be in a close-up.
The next shot is one of a mirror, covered in blood and dirt. This shows that the workhouse that Laverick resides in is quite dirty and run down, yet he still chooses to remain here, isolated from society.
he door opens, with dull light pouring in from behind him. You only get to see his boots. A high angle shot then follows, the camera on the floor, following Laverick as he walks across the workshop. You only get to see Laverick's boots and legs as he walks, which again does not reveal much about the character.
In the next shot, Laverick stands to the right of the frame and picks up a long, sharp knife that glistens in the light.
The camera pans over to his workshop in a high angle, showing Laverick rearranging his tools on the desk. You do not get to see Laverick's face as he has his hood up, this gives a sense of mystery to the scene as you cannot see his facial expression or emotions.
The next shot is a close of Laverick holding the knife, twisting and turning it in the light before eventually wiping the blood off it. This shot strikes fear into the viewer as it shows the lengths he will go to to get revenge. The next shot shows Laverick taking a pen out of his pocket, slowly walking over to the pictures of people on the wall and crossing two lines through it, showing that he has killed them. Then, under this image, the title of the film 'Branded' appears.
