FADE IN

Monochrome photograph, family, burning. Black background, only colour is that of the fire.

TITLE: DIRECTED BY... (White font, sharp, flickering, blurred.)

LATIN EXORCISM BEGINS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND

Panning shot of newspapers being thrown onto bench, blood splatters on few, begins slowly and the pace picks up. Evangeline will be on every article, camera tracks closer to the image of her face, close up showing emotion in her eyes.

Between this, meat cleaver, flickers when a new paper has been threw, blood stained and rusted slightly.

PRODUCED BY...

Transitions become faster, build of tension, from picture-video-picture-video etc.

Goes back to the fire and we see more burning.

QUICK SHOT OF EVANGELINE HUNCHED IN A DARK CORNER.

Possessed; black and white, monochrome. Brief and then slips away.

Pentagram of a devil's trap is seen, painted in red, blood. Only piece of colour.

PAINTBRUSH IS CONSTANTLY MOVING<GLIMPSES OF A HAND IN CONTROL OF OBJECT

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER...

Arm in pool of blood, only colour is red. Flickers so we get brief shot. Close-up.

Back to the burning photo before it switches to a dark, empty park with a swing. Creaking and moving slightly.

COSTUME DESIGN...

Back to newspapers. More thrown down.

EVANGELINE GETTING EVER CLOSER, NO FACE SEEN.

Wall with blood splat.

Burning photographs. More added to fire. Close-up on the child in the final photo.

MUSIC BY...

EVANGELINE APPEARS. STILL NO FACE.

Instant flash to a demon sigil with a hand in a pool of blood.

EVANGELINE. BLOOD MOUTH, DILATED PUPILS<CLOSE UP. SCREAMING.

FADE TO BLACK
