For our scene that is in predominantly in the hall there will be a voice over that will intermix between the two scenes in the opening. The main criteria we had for this was to describe what the character is feeling yet talking about these feelings after the 'kidnapping' has taken place. Her main feeling was fear of who is following her, and this speech describes what she is physically feeling and thinking.
'Fear isn't your enemy, it's what makes you feel afraid that is.
Fear is what can make your heart beat hard against your ribcage, pounding to escape your fragile shell of a body, until it feels like it will shatter from the sheer force of it.
It gets harder and harder to breathe and I've just been left like this. This feeling is dying to get inside my brain, running past my closed eyes whilst I dream.
Fear is derived from the unspoken event of death. Something that should never taint your lips like lip stain, never evolve from your lungs into anything more than an idea.
You'll clench your hands until your nails dig into your skin, leaving trails of red running down your shaking palms.
The feeling of terror will spread over your whole body until you are infected with something you can't defeat, poisoning your veins until your agony is drawn to a horrific end.
Now all I hear is the quiet.'
Very good
