Description of visuals
Scene of Bilal drinking, goes into a room
to see a collection of laid out knives –
some looking dirty and blood spattered
onto them. Bilal looks into a box and
sees a scythe, which looks like it’s been
treasured for a long time
Moonlight shining down as Bilal puts on a
costume that conceals his whole identity and
sets off outside. He carries weapons around
And looks like a very dangerous person, a lot
of shots of the moon is involved
*Match cut zooms into Jason mask and then
out again on the mask when he’s in full
costume
Break in lyrics as he returns home after doing
a lot of crimes, seeing blood all over his
hands, character looks lost and scared, like
he wasn’t in control of what just happened.
Night falls again and he turns back into the
savage, out of control monster. As the moon
shines you see Bilal in costume sitting in fog,
almost looking like he’s worshipping an evil
spirt, more shots of the moon to show the
audience that’s having an effect on him
Takes of his glove to see a tally on his hand
of innocent people he’s killed. More and more
fog starts to show as you see blood
supernaturally dripping from his hand
Next scene is indoors where you see a huge
puddle of blood that he looks attracted to, like
he can’t do anything help, his hand goes into
the blood and there are various shots of
handprints in different locations to tell you
where he’s gone off camera, showing how
menacing he is
Final scene show bilal in costume fade away
into the distance and this scene cuts to him
Lyrics
I can swallow a bottle of alcohol and I'll feel
like Godzilla
Better hit the deck like the card dealer
My whole squad's in here, walking around the
party
A cross between a zombie apocalypse and
big Bobby
Monster (ayy)
You get in my way, I'ma feed you to the
monster (yeah)
I'm normal during the day, but at night, turn to
a monster (yeah)
When the moon shines like Ice Road
Truckers
I look like a villain outta those blockbusters
Monster (ayy)
You get in my way, I'ma feed you to the
monster (yeah)
I'm normal during the day, but at night, turn to
a monster (yeah)
When the moon shines like Ice Road
Truckers
I look like a villain outta those blockbusters
Godzilla, fire spitter, monster
Blood on the dance floor, and on the Louis V
carpet
Fire, Godzilla, fire, monster
Blood on the dance floor, and on the Louis V
carpet
Monster (ayy) (x3)
fading away in the fog, awaiting his next
target

Contingency Plan
What are your plans for if something goes wrong? What back
up actors, locations and equipment do you have?
My cousin is the backup actor and has confirmed the dates he is available in
case my actors become unavailable, I feel he’s a good option because he
has done drama in school and has done some productions with me directing
before, so I know how he is as an actor.

If the main filming location of Mercian Way Park becomes unavailable, there
is another smaller park around a 5 minutes away from that, Called
Cippenham Village green. Key: 1 – Mercian way park, (Main option), 2-
Cippenham Green (2nd option)
