Title : the forest

This is our original script we produced when planning, since we made these original plans and filmed it we've had to make some adjustments to the shot types and title positioning as it seemed to have a trailer like feel when we were editing it together, which would mark us down as it is meant to be a movie opening of a selected genre not a movie trailer.
