STORY BOARD: FIRST DRAFT

​

Section 1- 

The beginning of the first scene(section one) begins in eerie silence and then the camera pans up a set of stairs and focuses down a dark hallway. A spoken word piece is recited as the camera heads down the hallway slowly and approaches the door that reads “Beware” (As the camera is panning down the hallway, there are flashes of an image of a woman walking naked while dripping water and fake blood, dripping from and trailing behind her.)

The door opens and reveals a dark, dimly lit room, lit with colorful fading lights, the large fixtures of furniture are covered in black drapery. The overall feel of the environment is meant to provoke fear and curiosity. The camera enters and examines the room as the spoken word carries on. 

Pan to the bathroom door, dim orange light leaking in the crack between the door and the floor

The door opens and reveals a set up for a spiritual bath, see this as a spiritual rebirth or a ceremony for one. The bath is covered with candles, crystals, a bowl of water, mortar and pestle , and the water in the tub is black and completely filled with rose petals and orange peels. 

The camera zooms into the tub, flashes of the image of the same woman appearing in the tub, but her head is submerged. 

The speaker then ends the poem with “Get ready for the undertaking.” 

A dramatic beat drops (song is soon to be decided) and the woman breaks the water tension, coming to the surface, her entire head is draped in a sparkly black mesh fabric, the light from the candles reflecting off of the glimmer. 

The section continues on with improv material both in the tub and in the bedroom, but in the bedroom, the woman is in a long black, spaghetti strapped dress, also soaking wet from the bath, the fabric is clinging to her, still wearing the mesh covering

The section ends with the woman leaving the bedroom and disappearing into the dark hallway (into the night)

The section begins with the camera panning down a dark alley, Elsa is down the alley wearing stripper heels, a full leather(or latex or lace or just colorfly whimsical and dark, but sexy outfit in general, wig preferred) with a man on a collar and leash with a flog. The song “Do a Bitch” by Kali starts. Elsa performs a pussystunt down the alleyway with the man on the leash trailing behind. Very dramatic, very powerful and a play on dynamics, gender roles, and play in fetishism 

Elsa arrives at the front door and Micah, dressed in business attire with lingerie underneath his blazer. They greet each other, very smiley and happy to see each other, kiss on both cheeks as the french do, Micah acknowledges the man on the leash by patting him on the head and scratching his chin. Micah escorts them both upstairs. Elsa and Micah enter the house and it reveals a collection of clothes laid out on the couch (accessories, dresses, lingerie, shoes, boots, make up) 

They happily throw around the clothes like teenage girls and then a dressup montage begins with the start of “If I was your girlfriend” By Prince

They then begin to dress up, switch clothes, switching gender roles, one person will be more masculine than femine and vice versa. There will then come a scene of them playing the parents and the man on the leash, the loyal dog, thinking of three kinky people playing house. 

(

The film ends with a finale of nude color schemes, wide landscape, and more whimsical and ethereal themes, making the final transition from darkness to light. The scene will be the woman from section performing a section of choreography with elements of improvisation and gestures. She’ll be wearing a nude mesh leotard and nude chiffon skirt, this should flow in the wind. Arm and legs covered in glitter. “Rolling Hills” by Jill Scott will play in the background. Bits from every scene flashes during this scene, almost 

like memories flashing in your mind before death. The film will then end with the woman walking off into the scenery (or actual sunset depending on the location) just as she did when walking into the dark hallway in the beginning. Camera pans off into the sky. End  of film.
