Piece outline

PITCH

A dark fantasy film where in a group of adventurers risk everything, in the pursuit of a legendary artefact.

Details

The opening of the piece should set the tone for a dark fantasy thriller with elements of horror. It should introduce the danger that the character's will face later in the movie. To do this another group of character's will be required, one who's purpose is to die to prove the danger. This group will be the focus of the opening.

The piece should include suspense and relief with a climax at the end, the climax will be the death of the character's.

Characters

One character should survive in order to inform the main group of character’s in the movie of what is to come. I intend to play around with the conventions of horror by having the female character survive.

Mise en scene

Darkness should be a key theme here, which means it makes sense to either shoot in doors or outside at night. In doors would add claustrophobia.

Addendum: Due to the fact that to shoot in doors I need a period esque building I will be modifying my idea to work out doors because of a lack of success in finding an appropriate building to work in. Because of the change I will use the darkness to create a sense of claustrophobia.
