Script Draft 3: Gabriel

Sequence opens with a montage and quick cuts of pictures and posters containing the face of the missing girl. By using montages and quick cuts we aim to suggest to the audience that the film will be based around this missin girl. By using montges depicting efforts being made to find her we hope to create a sense of sadness and sorrow for the young girl. Our first shots in the opening sequence will include credits that accompany the visual images.
