Planning: Treatment For Opening Two Minutes of iWatch

The film starts with an establishing shot of an empty field. 

DENCH Productions appears on the screen. 

This then fades out into a black screen and the diegetic sound of the wind begins to play. 

The black screen then fades to an empty field where the music gradually gets louder. 

The next clip is three blurry figures walking up towards the part of the field where Josh's ashes were scattered. 

It then cuts to a close up of a blurry picture frame being held in someone's hand.

After that, it then focusses on the picture frame and then the audience get to see Josh's picture for the first time, identifying the victim.

This then focusses out again and blurs.

It then cuts to them walking and someone putting the picture frame down.

The next clip is an extreme close up of one of the figures lighting a match, this can be seen as a false scare.

As soon as the match is lit, the music comes to a sudden stop.

The only sound for the majority of the opening will be diegetic sounds of the wind.

They then light a candle and place it next to the picture frame.

The next clips are extreme close ups of each of the figure's face.

This helps us to show the emotion, therefore the relationship's between the figure's and the victim (for example someone's teary eyes, someone's sniffly nose and someone else's  quivering mouth)

Now it is silent, they hear Josh's voice and look at each other, then look around and discover an iPhone on the floor about 3 metres away from where they are standing.

There is a close up shot of the iPhone, not seeing what is on the screen. 

It then cuts to a point of view shot over the shoulder's of one of the figure's.

As a group, they all go to the phone and one person picks it up. 

There is a close up of that person's hand slowly picking up the phone.

A close up of the phone playing a video of Josh at a party and his face is shown in the video to identify to the audience that it's the same person.

It then cuts to an long shot of the friends crowding around the phone, but from behind them there is a rustle of the bushes and they suddenly turn around. 

The music then gradually begins again as they all walk back to the picture frame. 

A point of view shot is used focussing on the picture frame and a blown out candle. 

The next cut is a close up of the picture frame that has been replaced by a picture of a group of four people including Josh, however his face has been crossed out. 

As an audience they are now aware of the figure's identities as there is a panning shot of each of there faces in focus for the first time and they realise that they are the same people in the picture. 


Meanwhile, a heart beat is introduced when they return to the picture frame and increases as it gets closer to the opening title.

It then suddenly cuts to black and iWatch gradually appears on the screen with a picture of the Apple sign covered in blood is shown underneath it.

Here is an example of the Apple logo covered in blood which could be used underneath the title 'iWatch' at the end.

Another idea for this is to place an apple template in the a splatter of blood. Also the title could be written in blood.
