 1st Sheet:

The film starts with a Medium Closeup of the protagonist, Chloe, slowing down to finish her run . This scene will last about 10 seconds, and Chloe will come to a stop. We will put our first title, “Red Ladder Studios Presents'', embedded in the sky. In the next scene, the camera will Zoom Out to show Chloe and the environment around her. Since this scene will be filmed at a park, there will be benches and bushes in the background. Once zoomed out, Chloe will be checking her fitness watch for her time. Next, an over the shoulder shot will shoot Chloe calling her best friend, Katelyn, over the phone to tell her she just beat her record. This scene will show both Chloe on the phone and Kaetlyns face on her screen. While on the phone, Katelyn tells Chloe she sees someone behind her. An eye level angle and pan movement will show Chloe checking her surroundings to see what it was. In this scene, we will include the title “A Scarlett Productions film”. When she finally sees the dark figure, we will have a long shot of Chloe screaming. We will then have the title “Starring Alyssa Pearlman'' embedded on a bush. This sheet ends with a low angle of Chloe running back home out of fear. We will have “Starring Carleigh Tripp'' embedded in the background as her body gets further away from the screen. 

2nd sheet

When Chloe makes it home, we will shoot a tracking shot of her opening the front door and telling her parents there was a dark figure following her at the park.  To change the perspective to the parents, we will have a medium and two-shot of Chloe’s parents telling her she’s overreacting and that it was probably nothing. This scene will include the title “Produced by Alyssa Pearlman '' embedded on the wall.Chloe agrees and a wide shot will show Chloe walking away to her room. Once in her room, Chloe hears tapping on her bedroom window, and a closeup angle will capture her worried expression.The title “Story by Carleigh Tripp” will be placed on the window frame. Then, a long shot of Chloe getting up to peak through the blinds will show, building up the suspense. This is when we will place the title “ Free Music by YouTube'' between the gaps of the blinds. This sheet will end with an Over the Shoulder shot and closeup of the man in black hiding behind a tree. We will place the title “Starring Abril Porcile” on the tree.

3rd sheet

After Chloe spots the dark figure in her driveway, we will shoot a closeup and high angle of Chloe screaming. Then, a tracking shot will be used to show Chloe running out of her room. When Chloe gets to the living room, a tilt and low angle will be used to show her standing alone. On the wall in the empty living room, we will place the title “ Directed by Alyssa Pearlman”. After Chloe realizes her parents are not inside the house, she immediately checks her driveway to see if their car is there. We will use an over the shoulder shot to show her doing this. Next, a zoom in of the empty driveway will be used to show the viewer what Chloe is seeing. The empty driveway is the perfect place for us to place the title of the movie, “The Run” along the roof of the house.The last scene in this sheet is a long shot of the dark figure reaching for the doorknob on the front door.

4th sheet

After Chloe see’s the dark figure on her doorstep, a Dutch Angle will be used to emphasize her fear while calling 911. This will also be the scene where we insert the title “ Edited by Carleigh Tripp”, which will most likely be in the top corner. Next, a Zoom in of the phone on speaker when the 911 dispatcher answers will appear. The zoom in is utilized to let the audience know who Chloe is calling. While on the phone Chloe hears the mysterious man inch closer to her bedroom door, and a wide shot is used to capture Chloe and her surroundings. When Chloe hears him about to enter the room, a Low angle and Tracking shot will be used as she runs to the bathroom.Then, a Long shot of the mysterious man knocking on the bathroom door will appear. A long shot will be used to reveal certain characteristics about the dark figure. This sheet ends with a Closeup of Chloe’s shocked face as she is discovered by the man while sitting on the floor.

5th sheet-

A change in setting occurs when a wide shot of Stella sitting on the couch occurs.Stella is watching the news, and an over the shoulder shot is used to capture this scene. When the news mentions the story of Chloe, Stella immediately recognizes her. An eye level angle of Stellas shocked face is used to showcase that she knows something. This is where we will put the title “ Costarring Stella Lipscomb”, which will appear right next to her face. Then, a tracking shot of Stella picking up the phone and calling 911 will be filmed. After, a medium closeup of Stella on the phone with 911 will occur so the audience can examine Stella and her character. Finally, a Zoom out of Stella saying “I’d like to report a kidnapping” will be used so that Stellas face is captured. This will also make her living room appear larger, creating a sense of tension and suspense.
