Covenant

Covenant starts with words apearing on the screen talking about 'a great power, ipswich families being chased from england and europe(witch hunt) covenant keeping them safe - until now.' This is when the music starts up, it is rock music which suggests danger and anger. there are lots of flashing images of different words, books, signs, people (shows four school pictures of the main for guys), pictures etc as the credits apear on the screen. Once the credits have finished the screen goes very dark as it is night and the camera tracks up a cliff face where you can see three teenage guys looking down, the sound track is still on going and you can also hear shouts from below, they hear a voice behind them saying 'what's up fella's?', they turn and the camera moves behind the person who spoken ( a blonde male of the same age) and tracks after him as he walks towards the other guys. The others ask where he was as the blonde guys now joins them and looks down the cliff, he just replys causal that he had things to do, he then asks how the party is, (that is the shouting from below), the sound track is still on going. They reply that they dont know and they themselves just got there, the blonde guy then says 'well hell boys....' the camera then gos just underneath the top of the cliff as the blonde guy kicks some stones of it, the camera does a quick zoom to a close up of the blonde guys face, this is so you can see his eyes turn black as he says '...lets drop in'. There is an areial shot of him as he steps over the cliff and disappears into the mist. The only lighting on the guys is moonlight which makes then seem very mysterious and the fact that they are looking down on the party from above adds to this. One of the guys laughs and follows the blonde guy. One of the two remaining guys shouts after him but the other one says that they wont die..yet. they jump after the others, the guy who shouted jumped last. When the camera turns to were they are looking before and as they jump you can see a circle of light which the audience will pressume is the party. The camera follows him as he falls first from above and the the camera catches up with him and then films him falling from bellow, he lands effortlessly and re-joins the others. The camera cuts the the party and teenagers dancing, there is also a fire which gives off the light along with the moon. the camera cuts to a mid shot of people dancing and then to a long shot of the four guys walking towards the party, you can not see there faces as they are in Silhouette, this adds even more so to their mystery.
