Screenplay/Script/Filming Plan

Screen is black, voice over is heard over a background wind.

Voice over (Character 2): “Day one, successfully navigated, evaded posts 1 & 2 unsuspected. We’re a few kilometres from the target, still no updates on weather or contract developments. Pause to camp for the night off of a small track, outlook remains favourable. The…”

A voice nearby warns him to be quiet. Sound of an engine in the distance approaches, parks and the engines shuts off, car doors are heard.

Two voices approach, speaking in a foreign language and pass, briefly shining a torch over the cameras point of view, reveals the title.

Cut to next day, two masked figures walk down a dirt track, camera faces them in a long shot as they approach, cuts to an over the shoulder shot as they approach the end of the flanking tree cover.

They crouch facing each other, a map is produced, Character 1 gestures to the map as he talks, Character 2 nods as Character 1 talks and the camera switches between low angle shots of the characters and a high angle shot of the map: “Okay, the target is just under a mile from us, we’re here, it’s here, the approach is pretty open so watch your sides, there should be little security this far in though.”

Cuts to a medium shot from the side of the pair Character 1 folds the map and puts it away as Character 2 stands, they walk to the opening in the tree line and look out, an over the shoulder shot looks between the two and over a track they will have to travel.

Cut to a long shot facing the characters, Character 2 faces Character 1 and asks: "Ready?"

Character 1 kicks Character 2, knocking him onto the floor, the camera cuts to a medium shots as Character 1 removes the mask from Character 2, the camera cuts to a PoV shot through the mask as it is lifted and the sky is seen in full, violent coughing is heard.

Cut to a close up, directly facing Character 1's boots from the left as he begins walking, then breaking into a jog, then a run. The camera cuts to an extreme long shot from the opening in the trees, the camera pans up to see Character 1 running towards an abandoned village, a structure towering in the background.
