ICARUS
Script
Abandoned building. Begin with an extra wide establishing shot of room. A layer of dust covers everything. There is silence, except for the ticking of a clock. Close up on some candles flickering, as some slow creepy music like that of a music box begins . Low close up on a girls shoes, as she walks at a slow pace. Wide shot of her walking steadily, a shoulder bag on her side and an unlit candle in one hand, a match box in the other.
Switch to walking shot of male assassin striding through a corridor.
She reaches the other candles and a tracking shot as she bends down to a crouch and puts her candle on the floor. Close up of match box being lit and lingering shot on the lit match. Digetic sound of match being struck. Girl bends over candles and lights them, blowing out the match afterwards. Angled shot of her sat back, drawing her knees to her chest and resting her chin on them, sighing as she gazes at the flickering lights just visible in shot.
Switch back to male assassin climbing some stairs
A loud bang is heard. The music becomes more intense and erratic. The girl rises quickly and begins blowing out all the candles, looking over her shoulder worriedly. There is one candle left. Her bag falls, its contents of papers and other junk spilling out onto the floor. She goes to pick them up, rushing as she shoves everything quickly back into the bag. Suddenly cut to black, music stopping suddenly. Silence. Fade back into shot, a tracking shot from the bag still on the floor, to the remaining candle. A man picks it up. Tracking shot as he brings it to his face, but we can only see from the bottom of his nose down. He blows the candle out. The smoke from the candle fades.
