My Title Sequence shot by shot

 My original idea 1 shot my shot

Girl 1 - extreme religous parents

Girl 2 - extreme conservative parents

  1. Establishing wide shot of two girls backs to the camera in the centre of the screen with a shed or hut of some sort in front of them. No music just a few seconds of silence maybe a few birds chirping.
  2. Zoom in on their hands and focus on their fingers touching for a few seconds - music starts to play - under the milky way by the church.
  3. Cut to close up of girl 1 face red and tear streaked then see her head turn towards the door
  4. Cross cut to the same girls eyes in the exact same composition but in the woods now and she smiles then pan down to her lips and smile then zoom out slightly so we see both girls looking at each other smiling. 
  5. Cross cut back to girl 1 room and in doorway we see three figures back lit to look ominous - her parents and a priest.
  6. POV shot of them walking towards her 
  7. Quick cut back to them in the woods laughing 
  8. Eyeline match from previous shot? from parents POV and we see her backing into her bed
  9. Close up (back in woods) of hand brushing hair behind ears and girl 2 close up of eyes 
  10. When she blinks cut to mid shot? of her parents hands grabbing her wrists to restrain her
  11. Cross cut to them holding hands and one girls tracing circles on the back of the other girls hand 
  12. Cross cut to mid shot (priests pov) of parent giving a nod to the priest 
  13. Eyeline match to see priest nod back
  14. Close up of him preparing the holy water
  15. Cut to close up of girl 2 crying
  16. Wide shot to show her struggling 
  17. Then birds eye view mid shot to see her struggle but then give up because it is useless
  18. Close up of priest picking up a large cross 
  19. Wide shot with priests back to us on the left side so we can see the face of girl 2 he lifts the cross over her body
  20. Close up of priests lips moving slowly in small mumbled prayer 
  21. Then zoom out to close up of his face and follow as he turns his head up and shouts prayers at the top of his lungs and this effort is visible despite the sound being muted.
  22. Another close up of her sobbing but her body doesn't move like a typical exorcism because there isn't actually any evil in her and the parents are just being deluded
  23. Close up of mothers face looking away and a tear streaking down her face
  24. Close up of fathers face staring at her looking stern 
  25. Birds eye view of priest shaking her shoulders 
  26. Then mid shot from the side to see priest shouting in her face as she tries to look away
  27. Sudden cut to her face looking numbly at the ceiling red and puffy from crying then slowly zoom out into a birds eye to see her lying spread out on her bed alone in a dark room we hear a sigh that fades over the top of the soundtrack
  28. Then very fast editing of loads of different shots of them that were taking in the forest and part of the exorcism all going very fast sort of like a flip book
  29. Sudden stop and cut to close up of their faces in the woods we see both of their faces in the shot looking at each other and one of them says i love you in a breathy voice and the music stops before this shot so it is silent with just the breathy i love you and then a moment where they still look at each other and then the screen goes to black and the title appears
