Dark Sacramant Location Plan and Release Form

These are pictures I took of Billericy Christian Church in Billericy High street and of the surrounding area, at the bottom is a blueprint that I drew of the inside of the church.
In my film Gavan and Evan will be talking in the square area in the top left corner, which when i was looking around was just an area with some chairs, with a divider this could easily look like a confession booth and it has enough room to move around a camera

Dark Sacramant Treatment Plan

Dark Sacrament Treatment Plan

The Premise

On a night tainted with tretrous

blood Gavan Smith must now

suppress the demon that lurks

within his own soul as the sins

of the man who had commited a murder

fills him with the lust for his death.

The Outline

Dark Sacrament is a short 3 minutes Thriller film and is written by Connor J Sadler. The film starts half way within the story which creates tension and raises a lot of questions straight away, Evan walks into this church as the floorboards creak underneath him, he sits down and confesses to Gavan who is the priest of this church, the main conflict is between Evan and his own conscious which he is already taking steps towards because he is now confessing what he has done to the priest.

          Gavan is the main focus in this film and his ambition to keep his own secret suppressed, you could look at the film as if Gavan represented Evans good and more docile side which is how he often lived his life before but after committing murder that side of him is then lost and replaced with an evil beast, Evans face is always out of shot because in the confession booth you would be unable to see the other person which would make the viewer relate to Gavan even more.

          The only action squeance in this film and the only use of special effetcs used will be when Gavans demon is revealed as it is a super natural being and would be impossibel to do otherwise.

          Finnally the climax between Evan and Gavan is where Gavan shouts across teh church which would shake its very foundations, then the demon climbs out of the box and grabs Evan where he rips his body apart and throws him under a statue of Jesus. This scene is very symbolic of the whole film as it would be a huge surprise to anybody watching it and has a more rooted meaning that after commiting a crime like Evan did how your new life would ultimatly eat you up.

DARK SACRAMENT

By Connor Sadler

BLACK SCREEN:

Priest Gavan Smith:

Murder? How interesting…

FADE TO:

INT. CHURCH, CONFESSION BOOTH - NIGHT

The priest sits and on the other side of the panel listening to the gloomy confession from Evan Barbeau

Evan Barbeau:

I took his body and buried it off of Soliuon road, but his soul was already blacken with his own vile sins

Evan sounds truly remorseful, it feels like he is having a hard time remembering back to the events that had transpired but he forces himself to tell the priest exactly what had happened. The man breaks down in tears causing his voice to crack

Priest Gavan Smith:

And why did you commit this crime most foul?

Evan Barbeau pauses for a moment before timidly continuing his story, as he talks he feels the rage growing within him, a deep and booming heartbeat sound is heard as he talks and dark inky shadows leak in from all sides but Evan remains oblivious to this

HEARTBEAT, EVIL EFFECT

Evan Barbeau:

He was a good man, but the most fiendish of deeds cannot be repented so easy. After bedding my wife, once so absolute and honest, reduced to what? Words cannot even begin to describe the fury that built up in me. The fury that drove my intentions to drive the knife in his back in the same way he once did to me.

Evan Barbeau is breathing more heavily now from letting it all out and telling the priest everything, the priest stays quiet through his story and is eager for the man to now leave

Evan Barbeau:

I am so guilty for what I did father…

Evan Barbeau sobs to himself completely ashamed of what he had done; the eerie shadows love watching him in this state and grow more intense

Priest Gavan Smith:

Since you have recognised your sins and confessed to it, God has forgiven you.

The priest is feeling more nervous and anxious for Evan to leave; a dark voice inside of the priests head echoes.

Demon Priest Gavan Smiths (V.O):

His sin is has not been forgiven! His sin is too great! You speak lies! Adultery! Murder! Heaven would not even spit in his direction

Priest Gavan Smith:

Yes but…

The Priest is cut off in mid-sentence by the growling of his demon inside his mind

Evan Barbeau:

Thank you father…

The priest listens as Evan Barbeau stands up and walks out of confession booth

Demon Priest Gavan Smith (V.O):

Do not let him leave! He is unholy! NO GOD HAS FORGIVEN, NO GOD HAS FORGOTTEN!

The priest grabs his head as its pounds agonisingly, his body starts to change and the demon in his head is forcing his way out

Demon Priest Gavan Smith:

UNHOLY!!!!

The voice roars across the room as Evan is walking out the church

Evan Barbeau:

What was that father?

Evan stops at the church doors and turns around, the demon inside of the Priest had completely taken over into a demonic figure that now stands in front of Evan now. The demon looked like the skin had been ripped off the old priest and its face now consisted of rat and hound, it stands before him and growls deeply as drools drips off its sharp yellow fangs. The demons deep red eyes now focused on Evan with vengeful spite

Demon Priest Gavan Smith:

UNHOLY!!!

The demon roars at Evan, the front door of the church rips off its framework. Evan gawks in horror from the presence of such a monster, he begins to scream as the monster wraps its elegant fingers around his waist and lifts him high into the air.

Evan Barbeau:

Let me you go vile demon!

The demon grins from Evans unwillingness to accept his own fate, the demon brings him closer to his huge yellow fangs, and Evan stares at them for a moment of silence

Demon Priest Gavan Smith:

Heaven will no longer tolerance your presence! Welcome to HELL!!

Evan screams for the final time which is cut short from his head being ripped clean from his torso, in one satisfied gulp he swallows it whole before tossing the headless corpse towards the alter. It lands with a thud and rolls down towards the feet of a statue of Jesus.

The demon laughs to himself thoroughly while the shallow voice of the priest speaks in his head

Priest Gavan Smith:

You have done enough! Stop this now

Demon Priest Gavan Smith:

YOU HAVE HAD YOUR FUN! NOW IT’S MY TURN!!!

FADE TO BLACK:
