Step by step outline of opening scene

Introducing clone/patient

  • Camera goes in an arc vertically along a body lying on a table, starting at the feet going above it to the face (at the feet we show a label but it is backwards so can’t see what’s on it) - his hands are also tied
  • Person suddenly wakes and gasps and eyes open
  • Fade to black then camera pans around the room showing the setting
  • Door opening in distance. He then panics and tried to grab a knife 
  • Medium close up of person trying to get a knife from the tray next to him - his hands are tied
  • Whilst he is getting the knife - footsteps of someone getting close
  • Hear handle turning to a door - plays dead

Introducing doctor + action

  • Doctor walking in putting an old dirty white coat on and gloves as he walks to table
  • Doctor takes white sheet off patient - revealing scars all over his body and a rope tried round his stomach to the table
  • Close up of doctor arranging tools in tray
  • Suddenly the patient sits up and slashes the doctors face with the scalpel in his hands - we don’t see the face we just see the blood dripping and blood on knife
  • Doctor takes knife from the patients hands
  • They then are wrestling to try and get the patient to lie down
  • Finally pins the patent down and have a close up of the patients face and see blood dripping from above onto him - this is from the doctors face - they are both sweating and can hear heavy breathing 
  • Doctor reaches over to tray  and grabs a syringe
  • He then sticks it in the patients arm 
  • Patient’s slowly close as he has been sedated - fade to black



Montage + operation

  • Slow montage of around the room then sudden flashes to the operation table - in these we see the operation and blood everywhere very quickly - then flashes back to the slower montage and as the operation goes on the flashes are more and more frequent building more tension
  • When the flashes/glitches become really fast they suddenly stop and the screen goes white.
  • Cuts to a shot of the doctor operating and removing the object from the body - close up of this object -we do not see above his shoulders



The reveal 

  • Longer shot of the doctor holding the object - then takes label off the foot of the patient and walking over to a sink -with mirror above it - still not showing his head
  • Close up of him washing blood off the object/or putting it down on a towel and then places the label the right way up next to the chip - it says ‘Dr ….. - Version 7’
  • Camera moves up as doctor looks up and shows a mirror with the doctors face in it, he is looking at the cut on his face that the clone put there. We see they are the same person.
