A Change of Plans

  After viewing our rough cut, we have decided that our original plan for our film will not work particularly well. We will be reshooting entirely, and with pretty big changes to our initial script. Firstly, we will not really be using water as such a central part of our title sequence as we originally planned. By this I mean we aren't incorporating the bathtub scene into the film, nor is the sink going to be of very much importance either, apart from some dripping at the beginning. We also would like to change to a hospital setting rather than a motel as that would make more sense and could also add a bit more of a creepier feeling to the whole title sequence. The only thing we are really sticking to is the backstory and start, which goes as follows: There was a bad accident in which Lionel's (our protagonist) and his sister were attacked, his sister being killed and him being injured and hospitalized. He then wakes up, remembering nothing, when various strange occurrences start happening, and the only way for him to figure out what happened or who was responsible is through his visions and flashbacks. He will wake up in the hospital, notice a dripping sink next to him and turn it off. He will then notice the shadow of a patient on the bed in the next room over through the curtain, and get up to walk outside, where he is greeted by a dummy in a wheelchair. Startled, he will jump back into the room, where there will then be the sound of the wheelchair falling over and fast footsteps moving away from it, indicating the dummy has taken off, which is then confirmed when he reopens the curtain and sees nothing but a flipped over wheelchair. Again jumping back into the room, he will make his way over to the room beside him with the shadow of the patient on the other side, however, when he goes into the room there will be nothing on the bed. All there will be is a picture of him and his sister on the table, and after examining it for a minute, he'll notice a laptop beside the bed on the floor on the other side. He will go to pick it up, and while standing against the other curtain reading what's on the screen, it will be revealed that there is a shadow standing behind him on the other side of the curtain, which will grab him, then cutting to the title card. This will be explained much more in-depth in the new shot list, which will be posted soon.
