The scene starts with the slow uncomfortable non-diegetic sound of music which is being played under further non-diegetic sound of the news report. The report introduces the character of the little girl explaining how she has died from a car accident and left for dead there is a fade to black to end that section. during the news report theres is a handheld positioning of the camera where a home video of the same girl being shown happy and playing with toys. There is a zoom to capture the emotion of joy on her face so that the audience can form good opinions of her. This section ends as there's a picture of the little girl being burnt. A fade of another video appears in the same style as the last, we introduce a new character who is a teenage girl who gets a new car. She is happy in this scene and the audience can see that. All these videos are shown through the editing style of a montage. The non digetic sound of the news report ends as lighting is low-key, cross dissolve happens and there is strobe lighting representing the car. The camera zooms in on the young girl that appeared in the video, she looks scared, vulnerable and hopeless.
The middle section begins on low-key lighting to keep that mysterious vibe on the audience. The teenage girl is walking through an isolated park and the camera angle is showing her from behind by using a tracking shot. She is on the phone at this point and she tries to hang up but drops the phone by accident. A point of view shot behind the girl is used to show shes being watched, this is supported by the diegetic sound of heavy breathing. It switches to the teenage girl and the audience can see from her point of view using the POV shot. She continues walking like nothing happened then starts to hear childish giggling and stops to look around suspiciously. But she shakes her head in disbelief and continues walking. She sees the swing moving on its own and starts panicking as she hears the diegetic sound of giggling once again.
She starts walking quickly still in panic and falls over. Suddenly she sees a piece of iconography which is a doll and slowly picks it up, with the editing effect of slow motion allowing the audience to see the effect the doll has on her. She runs of home and we straight cut back to the empty park and the audience get to see the park from an establishing shot.
we go into the last scene by a fade to high key lighting the image is blurry as the teenage girl is now home and washing her face. its really hard to see as the high key lighting over shadows the scene, she raises her head and we hear high antisipation non-diegetic music as the little girl appears holding the doll that appeared in the park. It cuts straight to darkness and we hear slow eerie non-digetic childish music as we zoom into the possesed teenage girl. She starts crawling tawards the camera with weird body language and deformed and demonic facail expression. Theres a black out to end the opening as credits are edited onto screen with the music still playing.
Some good description of your scene here and what will happen within it. Further evidence of close planning.
