One shot film second idea "Captive"

The initial concept behind this piece was by Danny Peachy, a captive is held in a dark room looking through a key hole while his kidnapper attempts to free himself of guilt by reassuring the captive. We took this idea and adapted it slightly, the captive was still looking through the keyhole but this time spying on his kidnapper discussing his plans on the telephone. This way you feel like you are the victim fearing for what might happen to you as you listen to the man's diabolical plans. Unlike my first film idea this shot will not involve the camera moving, this keeping in with the brief, with my previous idea I'm slightly concerned I have stepped to far outside of the boundaries. Below is a transcript for the film "Captive".

(cover keyhole, remove card,close door and turn on studio light)
