Script For My Horror Film (Opening Sequence)

The Babysitter

EXT. LARGE MANOR HOUSE IN THE SURREY COUNTRYSIDE - ABOUT 6:00AM ON A BITTERLY COLD DAY IN JUNE

A large house can be seen in the distance across a vast garden with a large lake and many flower beds and bushes all kept in excellent condition. The only sounds that can be heard are the light breeze and the sound of a shovel scraping in and out of frozen soil. As the camera pans, the source of this sound becomes apparent; a man in his mid thirties is filling in a hole in one of the flower beds. As we come closer to the man we become aware of the bitter cold as his breath is clearly visible.
