Risk Assessment

We need to take the necessary precautions in order for the knife to not cause any damage. In order for this, all of us who work on the filming need to know where the knife is at all times so we dont accidentally cause injury to ourselves. We also need to make sure the knife is always visible and not hidden so none of us accidentally touch it. We also need to make sure that I have a towel. This is because I play Richard who doesn't have shoes and because it's on a cold winter afternoon, i will need a towel to warm my feet up.

Equipment Needed To Film

Most of all we need a camera and an external microphone but we need to first of all get a mic then find an appropriate way of stopping the wind disrupting the dialog.
To do this we will need a foam cover.

Wayward Screenplay


“WAYWARD”


EXT. STREET- NIGHT
[Katie and Anna are walking home. The party they were at is in the background and the music can just be heard]

ANNA
How you getting back?

KATIE
(Drunk) Walk. Probably. (Long pause) You?

ANNA
My Dad’s here. I’ll see you later.

[There’s a long pause with no sound Katie is alone]

KATIE

[Twigs can be heard breaking as Katie steps on them]

(Whispering) Where the fuck am I. (Repeating it with slight fear) I don’t know where I am, don’t know where I am. Don’t know.

[We hear Katie rest down on the floor]



EXT. FOREST-DAY(5 AM)

[Katie opens her eyes and sees a man’s legs run by. She then opens her eyes again and checks herself and looks around.]

[She gets up and walks around. Richard appears in the scene and Katie turns around]

KATIE
Who the fuck are you?

RICHARD
(Long pause) Who are you?

KATIE
Can you help me?

[Richard gives a prolonged stare]

[Jump cut to the near future. Katie is being chased. Jumps back to the morning]

EXT. FOREST-DAY(5.30 AM)
[Katie and Richard are entering Richard’s small den]

KATIE
What’s that there? Are you sick?

RICHARD
It’s heroin you wank stain. How are old are you?

KATIE
15. Why?


RICHARD
[Richard is preparing the heroin. He puts the band around his arm]
What you doing at school? That you like I mean.

KATIE
Erm…Latin

RICHARD
If you speak Latin you’re probably a cunt

KATIE
I’m not. You smoke heroin. You probably are.

RICHARD
You don’t smoke heroin, fuck face.

[Richard picks up the towel, which reveals the knife. Katie and Richard exchange looks before Katie rapidly gets up and runs. We see Katie run and Richard run after her.]

[Katie falls over and Richard draws his knife. The screen turns black as Richard goes to stab her. We hear repeated stabbing]

[We see from Katie’s point of view as Richard walks away covered in blood]

Rough Storyboard For "Wayward"





Editing Log

Pre-Production
Grey filters or dark filters might be be used to help along the narrative.

Recce Report

RECCE REPORT 
Locations
Beverley Westwood
Bricknell Avenue 

Lighting
Natural light unless weather conditions change 

Camera Angles 
High angles looking down on Katie so a step ladder will be needed to film these

Sound 
Sound only recorded in conversation scenes but may have to be dubbed depending on the wind conditions which will cause a problem by making unwanted sound.

Health and Safety Issues
Climbing trees and step ladders may cause injuries.
The needles and knife will have to be monitored as they can cause unwanted attention as well as injury.

Characters and Casting

Katie
15-18 years old, Caucasian brunette.
Fairly shy and reserved and unsure yet trustworthy. Not a big personality so she looks to others for comfort.

Richard
Around 20 years old yet age is not clear due to his unusual appearance.
Confident man not afraid to speak out. Very awkward when he meets Katie as he doesn't talk to her as a young girl like her friends do.

Anna
15-18 years old.
A friend of Katie. Not very considerate and doesn't see to Katie when her dad arrives. Needs to look cold on screen.





Locations For Filming

Locations needed for our film:
A forest
An almost empty street

Where we're going Beverley westwood
