(Just to let you know) our original idea for our short film was 'Killer in the woods' but we where unable to use this idea as it would cost too much but that was not our main issue, For us to film in to woods we needed permission from the council as we would of had a camp fire in the middle of the forrest which was also near peoples houses. We contacted the council and explained that we would have fire extinguishers and an adult present but they said it was still to risky. So we re-wrote our entire script which is now called 'Camilla'.
Our original script:
int.bedroom - day
Clothes are scattered on the floor, shoes swayed around the room...
Shot of the floor, revealing the owner of the room, Joe an avid camper by choice, energetic, clever and somewhat funny.
His left hand shaking uncontrollably as he packs his bag, some sort of compulsion or something else..
He looks around his room, he focuses on a framed photograph, of himself and a girl...the 2 looks happy on the photograph. - Slow zoom on the photograph,
accompanied by flashback-esque inaudible dialogue,almost ghostly, - "You never took care of me!" "it's always about you isn't it?"
with a deep low dark music..and low wind ambiance..
he picks up the framed photograph
suddenly, a woman, comes walks into the room,his mother.
Mum
Joe, this place is a dump...
(she notices that joe's looking at the photo)
*sighs* You gotta let it go sometime..it's not worth it.
Joe puts the frame on his bed, and turns around, the sad expression on his face still seen, through the happier face that he's trying to mask himself.
joe
(Trying to smile)
It's hard to let go sometimes...
Mum walks to joe and hugs him.
mum
I know baby..
mum gives him a little kiss on the head.
Joe
Well, I better continue packing.
mum
(standing up)
Ok..clear up before you go.
joe
Ok.
Mum leaves the room,leaving joe alone as he packs his bags.
He picks up the frame with his right hand..and takes another look at the photo, his left hand starts going on spasm. A clear link between what's in the photo and his hand.
BRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG BBBBBBBBBRRRRRIIIIIIIINGGGGGG.
CLANG CLASH..Sounds like the phone was dropped.
Mum
(from downstairs)
Joe it's for you!
Joe
I'll take it up here mum, thanks
Joe walks out of the room,
int.corridor,next bedroom - day = Continuous
Unlike the bedroom before, Joe walks into a cleaner, civilized looking bedroom.
He picks up the phone.
joe
Hello?
Danny
(trying to imitate ghost face)
What's your favorite scary movie?
Joe
What the hell? who is this?
Danny
How do you wanna die, Joe?
Joe
Danny? Danny? is that you? you homo?
Danny
(Breaking his voice from laughter)
No, it's not.. oh shit..Alright?
Joe
Yep yep, almost done packing,you?
danny
I'm going by Jon's house,
joe
oh alright, meet you guys by the park? got the booze right?
DANNY
Don't worry about that, We'll see ya later then.
Joe takes the photograph out of the frame and puts it in his bag. followed by a knife.
ext.park - dusk
The sun clears low, clouds starts to pile, seems like the sky's about to cry..
Jon and Danny walks side by side on the pavement, bags on their back and camping equipment.
Joe walks by himself, on the other side of the pavement.
the 2 parties, meet at the entrance of the park, and exchange pleasantries.
ext.park, campsite - dark
Sounds from the burning fire are heard, heaps of leaves from the distance starts to swirl and crackle as Joe, Jon and Danny sits around the Campfire exchanging stories
Danny
(Continuing a story)
Yeah, I remember that one.
Jon
Right? *laughs* that was like a year ago, right?
Danny
Yeah..
Danny glares at Joe, Joe looks out of place, not at the moment, he seems preoccupied.
Danny
Joe, you ok?
Joe, just stares blankly at the campfire
jon
Joe?...JOE!
Joe tilts his head sideways,
joe
Yeah, I'm fine.
He stands up.
Joe
I'm gonna g-get more wood for the fire.
danny

Joe
Nah, nag I got it.
Joe walks off
Jon
Oh yeah, when's Emma getting here?
Danny
I don't know... I'm not really sure that's a good Idea to be honest.
jon
But he invited her, he's trying to-
danny
be the bigger person? If I didn't know better I'd say he's gonna kill us.
Jon chuckles
ext.deep in the woods - night
Joe, still a bit preoccupied, not knowingly he walks deep in the woods.
He sees a piece of wood on the ground, he kneels to pick it up,
joe
(sinister)
That's a good size
He scans it thoroughly.
EXT.PARK, CAMPSITE - DARK
Jon and Danny's getting anxious because Joe still hasn't returned.
Jon

danny
He must've gotten lost or something, or a wolf..
jon
Yeah...a wolf..
danny
Seriously though, should we go look for him?
jon
I'll go, you wait here, is emma still coming?
danny
Yeah, I think so.
Jon stands up, putting his backpack on.
danny
Give me a call when you find him?
Jon takes his phone out,
jon
I'm drained.
danny
Oh crap..I'll be here anyway.
Jon walks on.
Leaving Danny all alone.
Danny takes his phone out, he calls emma
danny
Hello?
emma
Alright Dan, where are you guys?
Danny
Why where are you?
Reveal emma, carrying a folded tent
Emma
I'm by the woods,
Scratchings are heard by the campsite,
Medium close-up on a piece of wood being held by an unknown person, the person wears a black robe, like the one that Ghostface wears in the Screams.
Danny
Well wait there, I'm gonna come get ya.
Danny goes in the tent.
Out of the blue, The person goes inside the tent, and through the shadow from the tent, Danny's Fate is revealed.
Danny is hit repeatedly by a wooden branch, blood splatters on the tent, by and on the fire.
EXT.DEEP IN THE WOODS - NIGHT
Jon walks through the woods, dodging obstacles that comes his way, he uses a flashlight to see clearly, but all of a suddenly it starts turning off, running out of battery.
Jon
Oh fuck.
Jon keeps on walking, he bumps onto a person, the "unknown" person,
jon
What the fu-
Jon gets stabbed on the forehead.
He slowly falls to the ground.
EXT.by the woods - night
Emma walks slowly around the trees waiting for Danny to pick her up, The winds starts picking up, she's starts getting scared, some scratchings and ruffles are heard, then:
Joe comes out of nowhere, carrying a wholesome of logs.

Emma gives off a tiny chuckle.
Joe

Emma

The fire rattles on profusely as blood flows through and around the fire.
Emma and Joe walks up to the camp, not paying attention to the fire.

The unknown person presses a knife on the back of her neck.
