Narrative outline



Video begins with a Celtic pagan ritual. ring leader taking spirits/memories out of his body and placing them in the box. The ring leader is covered in dirt and grime, his hair is grey and his hands are wrapped in cloth. This will be filmed on a beach in dusk/night time. The ring leader will be wearing a black cloak and you will never see their face, only their mask. After the ritual is complete the ringleader buries the box in the forest.

Theres a hunter from olden times, he is hunting with a bow and arrow. He is dressed in old green cloth. Dirt lines his face and he is skinny, as if he never has enough to eat. The hunter sees the box and then investigates and digs up the box. he opens the box and then begins to go crazy, eyes turn black (using black contact lenses). Cut to the hunter just lying in the dirt, eyes closed. He looks like he has been there for a while. He opens his eyes, they have returned to normal. He sees the box, he then picks it up and throws it into the river.

Cut to an older style fisher man. He is dressed in a thick woollen jumper and a woollen hat. He is pulling in a net from over the side of a rock wall. Cut to him going through the contents of the net. He comes across the box. Wipes seaweed off of it. He slowly lifts the lid open and takes a peek inside. He falls onto his back from his kneeling position and passes out. Cut to him carrying the box wrapped in old cloth along the beach. He digs a hole in the sand with his hands and buries the box.

The next shot is of a 70's young man on a beach with a metal detector. He finds the buried box and opens it but this time there is a different effect of the spirit entering his body from the box, similar to that from the start when it was originally put into the box. Shot of him at home in dark room nothing but the tv for light as video of OKS is on the tv, he sits lifeless in the chair. Next shot he is going into the woods with a shovel and digs a big hole and climbs in. He then lies down with the box. It is now that we see that his eyes have also changed. The camera then changes to a shot of the original ring leader standing over the grave filling it in.
