how my opening will progress shot by shot in bullet points including titles and credits

1st shot - the music box starts playing, screen remains black
2nd shot - title in white or red fades in. stays on the screen for 5-8 seconds.
3rd shot - title fades out scene fades
4th shot - scene fades in. The scene will either be a view of the road that runs through fowlemeads and travel from there OR the scene will start with a flashback - you will see the feet of red and wolf and Lumber Jack run through the puddle.
The beginning of the opening credits will be in the puddle and will disappear when the water ripples when they run through it. If I go with this one it will then cut to the camera traveling through the woods and will continue to cut between the flashbacks and the present.
If I go with the first one you will then see red and then it will cut to a flashback.
5th shot part 1 (original idea) - this is when you will get a side shot of the subject (little red)
5th shot part 2 (new idea) -this shot is in the present and will be when the camera shows the road that runs through fowlemeads before it starts travelling
6th shot part 1 - the camera will become closer to the subject
6th shot part 2 - this will flick back to the flash back where more credits will be shown, you will again see the feet but they will be stepping on leaves or breaking twigs.
7th shot part 1 - the camera will then show an over head shot of the subject.
7th shot part 2 - flicks back to the present where the camera is entering the area where the subject is.
8th shot part 1 - the camera will cut to a flash back.
8th shot part 2 - the camera will cut to a flashback again, this time you will see the subject and the Lumber Jack (her older brother ( little red is about 13 so brother is about 18)) and the wolf ( i have yet to decide who the wolf will be, probably be the older brothers weird/slightly creepy friend).
9th shot part 1 - you will see something similar to 8th shot part 2
9th shot part 2 - cut back to the present you will see the subject from a side view and the camera will travel towards them.
10th shot part 1 - back to present
10th shot part 2 - you will have a close up overhead shot of the subject.
11th shot part 1- there will be a close up view of the subject
11th shot part 2 - camera will show an extreme close up of the subject, you will see their breathing getting shallower/see them stop breathing completely. the music box will stop playing
12th shot - an extreme close up off the subject, back in the present. see them stop breathing. the music box will stop playing
13th shot - fade to black.



How my research has inspired my film:
My research has been made up of mostly horror films but even though they're all slightly similar they have all inspired my film in different ways. For example the company of wolves inspired me to use the music box sound effect. Pans labyrinth inspired me to do shots of the victim as they lay dying, watching and analysing supernatural gave me an idea of how I wanted to do the costume and how much fake blood I wanted to use, it also gave me the idea to base it in the Wood's
