The program will open with shots of the main protagonist lying face down on the ground after sustaining a fall which we do not see. The Protagonist stands up and begins to survey the surrounding to which he sees a cloud of smoke looming over the edge of the trees. The smoke grows to such an extent that a quarter of one shot of the scene is taken up. The Smoke begins to dissipate in concentration as a hooded ghostly figure cladded in a long dark robe appears and begins to approach the protagonist. The looming figure begins to chase the protagonist while firing streaks of fire at the protagonist during the pursuit. The protagonist in the last scene sees what appears to a black rectangle to which as a portal/escape for the protagonist as the Protagonist engages the unknown object and proceeds to jump through which ends the first setting with a mid-shot of the protagonist taking a leap of fate.

The next part starts off with a low angle shot of the protagonist emerging in a mid-angle shot in what appears to be an alleyway of a city. The protagonist the sees the same cloud of smoke emerging from what appears to be a drain. The Figure which is now the antagonist begins to pursuit the protagonist through the alleyway firing the same projectiles as earlier. Also, I must add the pursuit scene will be captured under a low angle shot while the ghostly figure pursues the protagonist. The scene comes to an end with the antagonist being halted by what appears to be dead end which will be captured with a mid-angle and a high angle shot. The protagonist turns to face the antagonist runs at the figure lunges right past the antagonist and then proceeds to run back where he came from this will all be captured by a mid-angle then followed up by a low angle shot. The character runs toward what appears to be another door going back to the original direction. The Protagonist jumps with the camera capturing a pan angle shot. The important part I must add is that the final scene will be a lot more complex and require the actor of the protagonist to engage in a routine which may physically require them to engage in a stunt routine across a gate to add for the final scene.

The Third piece will be where the protagonist jumps out and proceeds to enter what appears to be a field where the protagonists from a low angle shot is in the same position as what he was at the very beginning. The Protagonist will begin to pick himself up only to look toward the edge of the field by the old looming forests, this will follow from the beginning of what is described with a tracking shot of the character then a panoramic of the field. the ghostly figure appears yet again however this time the smoke encroach toward the protagonist. The protagonist proceeds to run towards the edge of the field where he realises that the fields exit is blocked by a gate to where he must throw himself over, The camera will focus on mid angle the pan angle then birds eye shot the back shot angle to focus on the gate and the character. As the protagonist jumps over he twists his ankle where he is unable to move back on the floor he sees the ghostly figure approach him as he sits there waiting for the figure the protagonist accepts his fate only to realise he now looks up at the looming figure that begins to reach for him until the film goes dark leaving the audience in mystery of the fate of the antagonist and protagonist. This will be carried out with a tracking shot then a low angle shot then a high angle shot for the antagonist then a final low angle shot towards the antagonist as it looms over the protagonist.

The forth and Final part will consist of the protagonist waking up in a cold sweat breathing heavily back in the protagonists room whilst trying to make of what he had witnessed in his dream he glances around which is presented in a pan angle shot and where the protagonist is displayed from a high angle shot more so the ceiling respectively speaking. The Protagonist chalking his experience to a mere dream rubs the sleep from his eyes as he does this he begins to hear a load to whistle like that of a kettle near boiling point however it is heavily distorted. The camera promptly focuses on the protagonist's face and shows that the protagonist displays a look fear as the camera pans area to face the end of the bed to only see from a wide angle shot the Antagonist appear in the great cloud of smoke emanating from its very aura. The film ends with a loud hum to completely throw off the audience to as of the real fate of the protagonist.
