Draft screenplay- The discovered

Black screen- white title                                                            Heavy breathing quietly in the background

Quote appears:          
"No one ever goes undiscovered" ... - Old Hebrew Proverb

Quote fades out                                                                 

Flat angle, ground shot 
Dark forest/park, as if the camera has been dropped. We hear laboured breathing getting progressively louder and louder as-if the women is getting closer to the camera. The shot is in night vision. 

A figure of a woman distressed then appears in the camera shot, she is slowly crawling towards the camera. The scene is quiet apart from her breathing/crying. As she gets closer she reaches out as if to grab the camera, there is a pause of 3 seconds, the woman is just staring into the camera looking very fearfully.


Suddenly the woman is dragged away from the camera from an unseen person/thing. 
Diagetic screams until the scene is totally silent, slight pause for 2 seconds.

Long shot
The dark night fades into morning. An old man walking a dog is seen. The dog runs to the tent. Middle shot is then used to show the dog sniffing the tent. The man then walks over and realised something is wrong and pulls his phone out of his pocket. An extreme close up in then used to show him dialling 999. 

Classical music stops
  
A flash is used to transition into the next scene; into a long shot...  
Whilst we see a flash, we hear a camera shutter sound as if its a flash from a camera.                                                        

Long shot
It is the next morning and we see  a news reporter standing in front of a damaged tent covered in blood. We also see policeman, investigators in the background. 

Middle shot 
NEWS REPORTER 
Good morning, I'm here in Kent reporting live from the scene of what looks to be a brutal attack on a young group of friends. As you can see behind me the tent that the friends were planning to camp in is in a severe state. It has been predicted the attack could have taken place between 11pm- 3am, but has yet to be confirmed. Beside me I have the chief investigator PC RavWeilding. What has exactly happened here?

PC RAV
I have never seen anything like this before, absolutely nothing, it's obscene what must have been going through the person's head to commit such a crime. We have no official information yet on what happened but we are trying our best.

NEWS REPORTER
OK back to the studio!

MAN'S VOICE (O.S.)
Cut

Long shot
The investigators show the news reporter around the site.
For a moment we see drag marks across the grass where the girl had been dragged; a quick flash transition is used for a flashback. We see the girl being dragged along the floor; screaming and crying (3 seconds). Another flash transition is used to go back to present, showing the investigator looking at the ground looking pale and fearful. 

Sad, classical music plays
