script/story beats under cut
Storyboard Scene Script
Scene: Beginning the Journey
FADE IN:
FOREST MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPE WITH VILLAGES SEEN IN THE VALLEY
ZOOMS TO OUTSIDE GRANDFATHER'S HOUSE - DAY
Nestled on the elevated side of a mountain masked with overgrown
woodlands, lies a worn, but well built house marked with strange
runes on the outside walls.
DISSOLVE TO:
INSIDE GRANDFATHER'S HOUSE, HALLWAY - DAY
SETO, is a lonely 10 year old boy with a fixation on cats and a
bad tendency of being absent-minded. His sole caretaker is, or
rather was, his grandfather who is now deceased.
The boy has already finished packing supplies for his journey
and is now putting on his rain boots, picking up his backpack,
and tying up his raincoat. Walking down hallway –towards the
front door- Seto stops by a closed door and gazes at it with a
lost expression.
SETO
"Sorry Grandpa, I know you always wanted me to be safe, but I
just can't stay here anymore.
Seto walks away, towards the front door.
INSIDE GRANDFATHER'S ROOM - DAY
The room is plain with little basic furniture. A futon lies on
the floor with a white sheet covering it and the define shape of
a body. Picked flowers are scattered around the bed.
OUTSIDE GRANDFATHER'S HOUSE - DAY
Stepping outside, Seto walks up to the mountains edge and gazes
down the mountain towards the steep valley blanketed with
forest. A small collection of black dots peak through the trees,
giving the faintest clue of houses. The closest town to
Grandpa's house is down in the valley. The feeling of unease
dances across his face.
SETO
"This is going to be a long walk"
The bad attempt at humor does little to help ease Seto's growing
nervousness. He gives one last look at his home, his calm
demeanor falters and a few stray tears fall. Seto quickly wipes
them away, swiftly walks pass his Grandfather's House and down
the steep mount trail. The journey begins
