Week 2 "Synopsis"

(scene 1) Footprint: The Sheppard and sheep stare down into the gaping footprint of a monster. The sheep is absolutely terrified, yet the Sheppard clenches his fist, as if to mention the grudge of an old score.

*The footprint disrupts the equilibrium.

(scene 2) Traps: Inside the shack, the Sheppard slides wood into a buzz saw. Documents and scale charts of the monster sit in the background.

*perhaps a diagram of the monster in a cage.

(Scene 3)Exterior Shacks: A mid shot of the house, and slow pan out. The sounds of hammering, buzz saw, welding. Light spilling out flickering across the hill threw the splintered timbers of the shack. A sign reads quiet please, until the monsters hand comes into the shot.

(Perhaps a shot that builds sexual tension between the sheep and the Sheppard, or doubles as the Sheppard’s sinister plan.) (a book on lamb?)

(scene 4) Bait: the sheep sits terrified in its pen. The monster approaches from behind, close but unable to sense the sheep.

Blind: A shot of the weeping, blind monster, which screams in agony.

Sneak: The sheep covering his mouth so as not to scream, attempts to sneak off screen. The cowbell around his neck jingles with his movement, to which the monster responds by facing the sheep.

Swipe: The monster attempts to grab the sheep, but by nimbly jumping forward dodges. The monster clears a row of fences instead. Timber rains down.

Bell: close up of bell

Sheppard: the Sheppard watches amazed, until the cowbell itself is flung into his hands. He is confused or bewildered for a second before panic, then anger.

Tug of war: Wide shot of sheep and Sheppard throwing bell to and fro, the monster follows but only his feet are in shot.

*pose feet as if his toes were groping, to help show threat.

(scene 5)Cliff: Sheep throws bell off cliff

( scene 6) Monster runs: shot of monster running

Phew: Sheppard wipes sweat from his brow. After a pause, much to his horror his cell phone starts ringing.

Final taunt: The sheep waves his own phone gleefully.

End: The monster stands perched over the Sheppard. He takes nervous steps back into one of the snares. Black with a sharp snap, the credits roll.
