The Narrative Action for our Thriller Sequence


·      Establishing shot of countryside
·      
Changes to shot of a car, alone in the empty sad car park
·      Shot of a rugged man, overweight man. Establishes main character.
·      The shot pans around the car to show a backseat full of rubbish (junk food) and pillows. This represents that the main character lives in his car because there is only one thing he truly cares about and it’s Area 51.
·      There is a shot of him reaching for a soda can, he drinks it fast to show that he is both nervous and impatient.

·      We Pan to the left, slowly to show huge pile of books on conspiracy theories

·      We focus the camera on the titles of the books which go like “Who’s watching” “The NASA Conspiracy” and “Conspiracy 365” (Extreme close-up)

·       The man looks at his watch, the audience hears the accentuated ticking noises.

·      There is another mid-shot of the man, the ticking noise is still there

·      Close shot of his hand reaching for the radio, he tries to find the channel but no matter what channel he turns, there is no signal. The audience hears the noise of buffering

·      The man looks at his watch again. Then reaches to get out of the car.

·      He gets out of the car and looks around

·      He begins to take steps in the forwarding, marching direction. He counts the amount of steps he makes. He knows exactly what he is doing and where he is going.

·      There is a close up of his feet taking small and steady steps

·      There is a long over the shoulder shot of the man as he stops his steps.

·      He reaches up and presses with his both hands on the air like there is something there. It is a close mid-shot.

·      He is finally able to break the invisible barrier and open the portal that leads him to AREA 51.

·      From looking inside the portal, we see a deserty area which represents that it is settled in the deserts of Nevada.

·      Rough editing transition. There is a close shot of the “WARNING AREA 51” sign.

·      There is a long shot of him putting his oxygen mask on and preparing to make his way through the portal

·      The portal begins to close behind him but the camera (like a form of evidence) is still fixated on the disappearing figure who is now lost in the desert scene.
