Synopsis:

"Soya Blood" - (name still not decided)

Catherine is celebrating her 16th birthday. Her parents send her out to pick up a few things at night. As she makes her way back home after collecting the things her parents had wanted, she gets bitten by a vampire.

(The vampire who bites her is not shown)

She then becomes a vampire and returns home. At home there is a surprise birthday party planned by her friends and family. She plays along for a bit and celebrates her birthday. She then becomes really "thirsty" and pulls aside one of her friends and drinks her blood but doesn't stop and her friend dies; once biting her friend, a homing signal gets sent out (that she doesn’t blocked out) to other vampires about 10 miles radius. Within minutes vampires arrive and kill the entire party guests.

(Vampires not shown; only the girl)

{The 2 mins opening sequence will be up to here roughly}

The 16 year old is very regretful over killing her friend and moves to Romania, Transylvania to live a life of a vampire but finds it extremely hard and doesn't want to become a vampire however finds it hard to go against what has become "natural" for her.


As time gradually passes, she meets a human boy and falls in love with him. Her teenage hormones kick in but as well as her new 'vampiric' hunting instincts. The vampire then stalks the boy and confronts him. He sees her for what she really is and he gets frightened and tries to get rid of her but she refuses to be put down. She becomes violent and kidnaps him and tortures him. She then begins to play games with him (as in let him run away for a bit but then chases him). Whilst he’s sleeping, she grabs him and bites him. She is unable to control herself and drains all his blood. Once again she is very regretful for killing yet another person who is close to her. She then walks into the sun and burns to ashes. Unfortunately she doesn't sparkle, she dies.



Research

Transformation of Vampires - The first step to the transformation of becoming a vampire is the draining of the blood. A vampire must drain you almost completely of blood by drinking it out. Then the vampire must feed you his or hers blood (only a certain amount so that you change). After that, the body goes through death and usually by the next nightfall the transformation is complete and you are a vampire. However when the transformation is finished you will have this strong thirst and must find a donor and drink some of their blood. This is the typical steps to the transformation of a vampire. Although in our vampire movie, we will be having this transformation happening a lot quicker.



 An example of a typical vampire transformation would be this clip which is a scene from ‘Interview with The Vampire. As shown clearly in this scene, the young man goes through the exact steps to the transformation of a vampire.




Female Vampires - Carmilla was the first female vampire. She was stunning, seduced men all the time with her scanty tight clothing's, posture and seductive gestures. She has all the typical conventions of a vampire (such as pale skin, fangs etc) and as a result, female vampires in movies today are representing seductiveness and sexuality just like Camilla. 












Rough Script
(FADE IN)
1 PAVEMENT – ON SIDE OF EMPTY DARK ROAD – NIGHT

Camera: LS – road – street lamps – CATHERINE lying on the pavement

An empty road and on the pavement is Catherine turning into a vampire. She is having fits and is screaming – there is lots of blood around her neck.

CATHERINE

(Heavy breathing)

Camera: CU side shoulder

CATHERINE turns onto her front and tries to get up but falls again and clutches her side in pain.

CATHERINE

(Screams/ Shouts in pain)

CATHERINE attempts to get up again and tries to crawl forward but her pain stops her from getting any further. More blood spills out of her neck and she collapses onto the ground and her eyes are closed



CATHERINE

(Whispers) No..no..


CATHERINE opens her eyes suddenly. There is a change in her appearance slightly. She is more refreshed and stands up fast. She looks around with an evil, almost laughing expression and then runs towards the end of the road.
