The first scene - reveals the box. This makes the audience question the significance of the box and evokes a sense of mystery.
Mid-shot - fade to black with sinister diegetic sound effect - representative of the 'demon'.
Mid-shot/tracking shot - female protagonist coming home - setting the scene - intro to characters - moves into main plot - establishing shot - normality of everyday life - relatable to the audience - sense of the unexpected about to unfold
(scene cut out of final production)
moving in - showing how previous owners had died - relation to protagonists - a sense of empathy
Night time - mid shot/close-ups - the introduction to the strange occurrences - diegetic bang sound effects - no dialogue - follow the female protagonist investigating the attic - intro to independence of character, she does not wake her boyfriend - intrigued
Panning shot to show the attic hatch has opened - realisation that was what the sound was - darkness evokes mystery and fear of the unknown - non-diegetic music in minor key to emphasise suspense
Variety of shots of female protagonist entering the attic - mid/long/over the shoulder/birds-eye view
Discovery of the box - small intro into what it contains - takes it downstairs to investigate further - audience will recongise the box from the beginning - dramatic irony - they know it is something to be fear - increases tension
Focus on the pendant - the appearance and introduction to the demon through the reflection in the box - groups the significance of the pendant with the demon
change in character - represented in this scene - the possession - the demon is now always presented to be by the female protagonist whispering in her eartracking shots of normal everyday tasks but with the demon always being present
research into the necklace - realisation of the demonic entity that may possess it - audience already know its too late
close-up/mid/over the shoulder - murder/suicide scene
flashbacks contrast with present - cyclical nature - demon over the shoulder with pendant
death of protagonists - drop of pendant - open ending - suggests the cycle starts again
