Blood and Chocolate


Blood and Chocolate starts with a voilin sound track and an areail shot of a little girl twirling around on the shot, she is also in a wood and its snowing, the camera moves downwards closer towards the girl, then its starts turning as well (clockwise). The screen then fades to black as some credits appear. Then the film shows the girl still spinning around but this time in a mid shot, a voice over starts (female voice, asume lead girl) she talks about when she was little and magic the screen fades to black again as more credits appear, when the screen cuts back to the girl it is another areail shot but this time the little girl is making snow angels, the voice over continues, talks about believing in legends and destinys. Camera cuts to other children(brothers sisters?) and you can see that behind then is a house, they throw snow balls at the little girl, cuts back to the girl as she gets up and throws snow balls back, cuts back to a long shot as the children laugh and have a snowball fight, there is anouther fade to black as the music becomes slightly more eary, cuts to little boy throwing snowball then cuts to areial shot of the snow angel the little girl left and her leaving it (she runs off camera). Voice over continues. Then the camera cuts to the three children runing towards the camera, the camera then cuts to what the children are looking at which is a light shinning in the woods (like a torch or car headlight), camera cutsback to children, they look slightly worried and confused, an adult (there father) steps out infront of them and puts his arm out protectivly, the little girl tells him someone is there and so he tells them to get inside the house. This gives the audience the impression that they are hidding from something/someone and by the look on the father's faced you can tell that they are afraid. The camera then cuts to inside the house and there is an over the shoulder shot of a women (the mother) quickly closing the door, the camera cuts quickly to various places around the house and shows the family members franticly throwing items into suitcases, cuting is fasts and the camera almost swerves from shot to shot, this shows the frantic and panic situation the family is in. There is a flash and the screen goes dark for a second,the camera cuts back to the woods and the light shines again, this time it seems closer. The camera cuts to the little girl and the cuts the her mother leading two of the children off camera. there is an extreme close up on a gun the father is holding, that goes to a mid shot of the father holding the gun and leaning against the door. The is a close up of the fathers face, he looks like he is preparing himself for something, there is a close up of him opening the door, as the door opens you can see another man holding a gun and pointing it at the father, as the father steps out he is shot by the other man. The camera cuts to the terrified looks on the childrens faces. there is a fast cut to the mother as she slams a door so the children can no longer see what is going on, There is another fast cut to the closed front door, bullets brake through the wooden door. Ther is then a low angle shot of a stair case leading to a celler? it shows the family (without the father) running down the steps, once the camera shows one family member the screen fades to black and then it shows another one ect as they make there way down the stairs. The mother is last and as she turns the corner she is shotin the arm. the camera cuts to a floorboard as fire comes through it. The children run and open a small door (like a safe opening), the camera cuts the the other side of the door as the little girl lifts herself up into the tunnel and cralls through it, you can see the other children following her. The camera cuts to the to the house as flames ingolf the house. The camera cuts back to the children crawling through the tunnel. Cuts back to house as smoke fills it. Then cuts outside as a trap door opens and the little girl steps out, she starts running but the turns back to see her family. You see her mother reach to get out, behind her it is all yellow and orange (the fire has court up with them) she shouts at her daughter to run. so the little girl turns around and runs into the woods, the camera tracks after her as she runs (from behind her) then there is a mid shot of her running( from the front) you can see tears on her face and she looks horrified but she doesnt stop. The camers cuts to her siblingg climbing out of the trap door, two men are waiting for thenm and hold up there guns, behind thenm the house is burning. The camera cuts back to the little girl running, there is a flash and then two shots, the little girl stops running and turns around. she stands very still and just stairs straight ahead. the camera cuts to what she is looking at, her whole house is on fire and there is a silhoutte of three men holding guns and there is also dogs with them, the men are not looking at the little girl, they are watching the house burn, the dogs starts running towards the little girl. this is when the camera cuts back to her as she she looks are the dogs, she steps backwards, it shows she dogs getting closer (slow mo) she turns around and starts running again. The camera tracks along side her and she runs through the woods, the camera cuts back to the dogs chasing her (no longer in slow mo) and this goes on back and foreth for a couple of seconds. Sounds track of violins in still on going.
