Key Micro Elements - In this next scene im going to focus a lot of non-diegetic sound to add tension to the scene, I will also use camera angles to help show Zoeys lack of power that she has in the scene and how she isn't as safe as she thinks she is in this cabin. Also some convections of the horror genre will be made prominent in this scene
Scene Description focusing on key micro aspects - Zoey wakes from her daydream, the vinyl is still absently spinning on the player but is no longer playing a song (camera), she takes the needle off the player and begins to inspect the cabin in more detail. (non-diegetic tension building music slowly builds) She walks into the bathroom and pulls the string to turn the light on, the light slowly flickers on (high angle view of zoey from light perspective). Zoey approaches the mirror (music intensifies), Zoey washes her face in the sink and checks herself out in the mirror, she turns her back to the mirror to leave the room as she does this her reflection stays in place (music/nails on a chalk board sound) her reflection glares at Zoey as she leaves the room.

Scene Description focusing on key micro aspects - Zoey leaves the bathroom and goes to the living room, (camera tracking as she moves through the house, tracking her from the side) as she walks through the house you can make out her reflection in the windows, mirrors and reflective surfaces,(tension building non-diegetic sound comes back) her reflection is not her own but of a woman dressed in a red dress (mise en scene). Zoey stops in the living room and lights the fire. Zoey goes and gets a book off the book shelf on the far side of the room, on top of the book shelf are religious figures such as crosses(camera) and small angel figurines (mise en scene).

Scene Description focusing on key micro aspects - Zoey approaches the door to open it, (low angle shot) Zoey slowly opens the front door to the cabin (non diegetic sound peaks), to find that no one is at the door she steps outside and looks around to find no one in sight. Slightly unnerved Zoey walks back into the cabin and locks the front door behind her. A window smashes in the distance(diegetic sound), Zoey quickly runs into the bedroom and grabs a baseball bat, she walks back into the living room to find the front door wide open. Zoey runs outside the front door to see if anyone is around, as she steps outside the door it slams behind her and locks.

Characters in Scene - Zoey
Point of Scene - Climatic point in story
Ending/Central Question - Where is she going to end up?
What will happen to her?
Who is the woman in red?
Key Micro Elements -
In the next scene I wont be focusing on camera angles as much but lighting and sound. Lighting and sound will help create the right atmosphere during this scene to make the audience uncomfurtable and to scare them. I will also concentrate on performance aswell to help the audience understand how the character is feeling in this certain part of the story.
Scene Description focusing on key micro aspects - Zoey bangs on the door of the cabin (all non-diegetic sound stops) and cannot get back inside no matter how hard she tries. The cabin is located in a woodland area which is very isolated, behind her she hears movement in the bushes. As Zoey turns to face the bushes you can see the woman in red(mise en scene) behind her in the window of the cabin (non-diegetic sound begins very intensly), Zoey turns back to the cabin and see's the Woman behind the window. Startled,(performance Zoey jolts back and begins to run through the woods in hope to find a road. The woods are incredibly dark (low-key) Zoey trips on some bushes (camera) and falls and hit her head. She imediately gets back up and analysises the area round her. Its so dark she can barely see anything but almost as if glowing she can see the woman in red pursing her through the woods. Zoey terrified (performance) begins to run again through the woods as far and as fast as she can. In the distance she can slowly see the sun rising.

Key Micro Elements -
In this final sequence I will primarily focus on non-diegetic sound to show that the character has reached safety and to gives the audience a relief to what has previously happened. I will also try to show aspects of mise en scene. Some camera angles will be used to show Zoeys change in power
Scene Description focusing on key micro aspects -
As the sun rises Zoey begins to find herself nearing a road, glancing behind her she can see that the Woman in red (mise en scene) is still behind her but further away in the distance as if she cannot go out because the sun is rising. Zoeys wrists and arms are cut from running through all the branches in the forest (camera), Zoey notices the sun coming up into the sky(camera) as the woods begin to lighten up around her.(non diegetic/upbeat sound begins) She continues running and find herself coming up onto a main road through the woods.
As she runs out onto the road(high angle) she glances back to find nothing is now following her and she is out of danger, a car begins to come down the road (camera) and Zoey signals for help. Zoey gets into the car (longshot) and drives away.
