Shot List

1 - Long shot of figure digging a hole, camera pans round and zooms in towards the figure.
2 - Medium shot of figure digging a hole, not close enough for extreme detail, but not too far away to see what he is doing. (Will be lit up with flaming torch giving cool shadows on his face)
3 - Production Company Logos - Long Road, Point Pedro etc. (Dog barks whilst this is on screen)
4 - Cuts to digger looking round, shocked. Seems scared/terrified.
5 - Camera pans round to show flickering lights in distance - digger stars to panic
6 - Cuts to close/medium shot of people running towards him with swords and flaming torches.
7 - Shows digger shoveling dirt back into hole and patting down soil as quickly as he can
8 - Medium shot of digger running away, towards the camera.
