The Present

Woods

Daytime

The sun beams down upon a lake of murky water. A shadowed

wooded area is also seen which is very mysterious and unknown

as to what lies ahead within the woods. The opening credits

then begin slowly with them appearing across the water and

further on until the action begins.

A closer shot of the dark woods is shown and the opening

credits continue. The camera moves along with the woods as the

woods become darker and more intense.

4 TEENAGERS emerge from the dirty passageway carrying typical

camping equipment and cold cans of beer. Light murmurs of the

conversation between the 2 GIRLS and 2 BOYS are heard over the

mysterious music being played.

A sudden switch and change of tone within the film occurs with

a UNKNOWN FIGURE who can see the teenagers feet and figure

from behind the trees. Who is clearly watching and following

them. The figure then moves from being the trees to follow the

teenagers with the dead leaves crumpling underfoot and the

wind whispering through the trees. A GIRL from the group of

teenagers stops and turns around and as soon as she does the

figure runs away with pure panic that it may been seen.

Convinced she had seen nothing, the teenagers continue to walk

through the wood laughing and joking about the night ahead and

how great they think it will be. A BOY mentions a thought of

having a campfire and the OTHER GIRL (who did not turn around)

agrees. The boy suggests ³Why don¶t you go get some wood for

it while we go set up´ She agrees and hands over her bags and

share of the drink and equipment to the boy and goes off in a

different direction to go get some wood for their fire while

the others go off continuing to talk and laugh about how they

shall have a great night.

We then see the figure again but this time from the trees

scurrying around looking for the girl who has just fallen into

their trap.

Obliviously the girl continues to look for the wood.

Occasionally looking up from the nosies she can hear, looking

away convincing herself its nothing. The breathe of the figure

becomes more intense while the girl become increasingly

concerned about the noise she can hear.

The girl then sees the figure and is in complete shock and

screams with a shivering as she falls to the floor after being

stabbed by the child that has been following her.

SUMMER then stands above her dead victims body with the knife

covered in blood on the cold metal nice which is as cold and

as lifeless and her face and her victim.
