I started writing a quick treatment/half script thing for what theopening scene of that Emu film might be, here's what i came up with:FADE IN: EXT.A girl is sitting by the corn field, the sun is low and she'sdriving toy cars up and down the slow rise and fall of the belly ofan old hound.THE DAD IS YELLING FOR HIS SON, A YOUNGER SHEEP DOG RUNS OUT OF THE FIELDAND GREETS HIM, HE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS DOG WAS WITH HIS SON AND ASKS ITWHERE HIS SON IS NOWHE GOES OVER TO HIS DAUGHTER AND ASK HER, HE WAS INSIDE THE CORN FIELD,HE DIDN'T COME OUTTHE DAD GOES LOOKING, THE YOUNG DOG ACCOMPANIES HIMThe girl keeps playing idly, one of her toy cars crash into the other,suddenly the dog sits up, it's ears pricked.The girl stops playingThe dad is moving through the field calling the boy's name,it's time to come in he says, he looks tired. He tells the dog to find the boy,it is of no help to himHe hears something moving among the stems and turns around, he asks theboy's nameThe girl is looking intently at the field, the camera is slowly zooming in onher and where she's looking, there's an eerie opening in the corn stems, it'scompletely dark in there.She doesn't move, just stares at the voidTwo silver shapes appear floating in the void, they look like eyes, the girlafraid to move says dad, voice stuck in her throatSUDDENLY the dog jumps up and starts barking, she screams and yells DAD!Tried to go for a horror thing, I think it works well. Feels like Signs to me. |
